       Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most influential leaders of India Independence movement and a pioneer of nonviolent resistance against British colonial rule. He was born on 2nd October, 1869 in Porbandar, a coastal town in Gujrat, India. His father was a diwan in Porbandar and his mother was a devout Hindu. Gandhi grew up in a  privileged and cultured environment, but also witnessed the hardship and injustices faced by the common people under the British rule. 

                  Gandhi received his early education at home and then attended local school. He was married at the age of thirteen to Kasturba Makhanji, a girl from the same age from a wealthy merchant family. In 188, he left for London to study Law and in 1991 he became a barrister. He returned to India and started practiced law in Bombay. Soon he realized that he was interested in conventional profession. Then he was deeply influenced by Leo Tolstoy, Henry David Thoreau and john Ruskin, who advocated a simple and ethical life based on truth and nonviolence.

        In 1893, Gandhi accepted an offer to work as a legal advisor for an Indian firm in South Africa, where he spent next 21 years of his life. There he experienced racial discrimination and witnessed the oppression of the Indian community by the white minority. He organised several campaigns of civil disobedience against unjust law and policies. He developed his philosophy and strategy of Satyagraha which involved nonviolent resistance through non cooperation, fasting and peaceful protest.

In 1914, Gandhi returned to India and join the National Congress, the main political party fighting for India's freedom from British rule. He became its leader in 1920 and launched a series of mass movement that galvanized millions of Indians across the country. Some of the most notable campaigns were the Non-Cooperation movement(1920-22), the Salt March(1930), the quit India movement(1942) and fast unto death(1948). He also advocated for social reforms such as abolishing of untouchability, promoting women rights, promoting communal harmony and promoting self reliance. He was arrested several times by British authorities for his activities but he never gave up his struggles for India's independence.

        Gandhi's vision of a free and democratic India was realized on August 15, 1947, when India attained independence from British rule. However he was deeply saddened by the partition of India into two nations: India and Pakistan, which resulted widespread violence and displacement of millions of people. He tried to prevent the bloodshed and restore peace between the two nation but he was assassination by Nathuram Godse, the Hindu extremist who blaming him appeasing Muslims. Gandhi's death shocked the entire nation and the world. He is widely regarded as Father of Nation in India and one of the great humanitarians of all time. Through out the entire world his statue is established as tribute to him.
