Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar, India. At school, teachers spoke of him like this: Trained as a lawyer, Mahatma spent 20 years in South Africa before returning to what was then colonial India. His philosophy of mass non-violent protest will become a weapon for enslaved people around the world, inspiring figures such as Nelson Mandela and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The exceptional example of Mahatma Gandhi, father of the Indian nation, has inspired millions of people to believe in freedom, justice and non-violence.
On the eve of Mahatma’s birthday, October 2, we suggest recalling the wise quotes of the great leader.
