About
Mahatma Gandhi
Like
sunlight and rain education must reach all...Gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, popularly known as
Mahatma Gandhi, was born in India on October 2,
1869. After earning a a degree in law from the
Inner Temple, UK, in 1891, he moved to South Africa
where for the next 24 years he led a peaceful
and non-violent struggle against racism and discrimination
faced by the Indian community.
In
1915 Gandhi returned to India and soon became
the leader of India’s struggle for independence
from British rule. After years of peaceful civil
disobedience and resistance, freedom came to India
in August 1947.
Forever committed to non-violence and truth, Gandhi
has been hailed as an apostle of peace and has
inspired many of humanity’s leaders who
employed non-violent resistance in their struggle
against oppression and tyranny.
