Description


Studio photograph of Mohandas K. Gandhi, London, 1931.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (/ˈɡɑːndi, ˈɡændi/;[3] 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer,[4] anti-colonial nationalist,[5] and political ethicist,[6] who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule,[7] and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: "great-souled", "venerable"), first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world.[8][9]
