Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born on October 02, 1869, was born in Porbandar, Gujarat.
Popularly known as the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian Independence movement against the British rule.
It was Gandhi ji who led the Dandi Salt March in 1930 and Quit India Movement in 1942. Violence is never an option for him. Though he himself became a victim to violence during many times in his life course, yet he never resorted to the same and believed everything could be resolved by the means of non-violence.
He was imprisoned for many years, upon many occasions, in both South Africa and India, but that did not kill his resolution to free India. He was resolute in his motive and it was his efforts and of many other freedom fighters that India finally gained Independence in 1947.
For him, ahimsa (non-violence) and satya (truth) were the supreme things. He fought the freedom struggle by the same and encouraged everybody to follow the same path of non-violence.
