MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI


Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, October 2, 1869–January
30, 1948) was a major political and spiritual leader of India and
the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of
Satyagraha a philosophy that is largely concerned with truth and
'resistance to evil through active, non-violent resistance' which
led India to independence and inspired movements for civil
rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly
known in India and across the world as the Mahatma and as
Bapu. In India, he is officially accorded the honour of Father of
the Nation and October 2, his birthday, is commemorated each
year as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday. On 15 June 2007, the
United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted a
resolution declaring October 2 to be the "International Day of
Non-Violence.
Gandhi first employed peaceful civil disobedience in the Indian
community's struggle for civil rights in South Africa. Upon his
return to India from Africa, he organized poor farmers and
labourers to protest against oppressive taxation and widespread
discrimination. Assuming leadership of the Indian National
Congress, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for the alleviation
of poverty, for the liberation of women, for brotherhood
amongst different religious and ethnic groups, for an end to
untouchability and caste discrimination, and for the economic
self-sufficiency of the nation, but above all for Swaraj the
independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi
famously led his nation in the disobedience of the British salt
tax imposed in India with the 400 kilometre (248 miles) Dandi
Salt March in 1930, and in an open call for the British to Quit
India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years on numerous
occasions in both South Africa and India.
