Overview
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948), known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the leader of India's non-violent independence movement against British colonial rule. He inspired millions through his principles of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satyagraha (truth and civil resistance).
Gandhi's simple lifestyle, moral courage, and relentless fight for justice made him a global symbol of peace and human rights.
