The face of Gandhi in old age—smiling, wearing glasses, and with a white sash over his right shoulder

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (/ˈɡɑːndi, ˈɡæn-/; Hindustani: [ˈmoːɦənd̪aːs ˈkərəmtʃənd̪ ˈɡaːnd̪ʱi] ( listen); 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma (Sanskrit: "high-souled", "venerable")^[3])—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa,^[4]—is now used worldwide. He is also called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for "father",^[5] "papa"^[5][6]) in India.
