Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi is known all over the world for his ways of peace, truth and simplicity. He led Indians in the ways of nonviolent disobedience in order to get rid of the British oppression in India. Through his nonviolence and hunger strikes Gandhi supported civil rights, reducing poverty, women's rights and religious amity. He encouraged everyone to learn the ways of Swaraj, or self-control.
Gandhi was the fourth child of his father's fourth wife. He was born October 2nd, 1869 in Porbander City, India.
Gandhi was raised on the coast of Western India. When he grew up he studied law at the Inner Temple in London. After that he went to South Africa which is where he first implemented his nonviolence practice. His nonviolence certainly did not leave him without enemies, he was assassinated in January of 1948. Though he has passed away, the world will never forget the strength and love shown by Mahatma Gandhi. He will forever be an inspiration to people regardless of race, religion or age.
