Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) was known as the Father of Nation played a stellar role in India’s freedom struggle. Thinker, statesman, and nationalist leader, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi not only led his own country to independence but also influenced political activists of many persuasions throughout the world with his methods and philosophy of nonviolent confrontation, or civil disobedience.
If he had wanted, Gandhi could have lived a very comfortable life as a lawyer. Instead, he devoted it to prayer, fasting, and meditation. He wore basic clothes and lived by fruit, vegetables, and milk, only. He gave up his personal comfort to bring well-being to millions of others. He was one of the greatest men of this planet.
(1869-1948)
