About the Author
Mahatma Gandhi, revered as the father of the Indian independence movement, was a visionary leader, philosopher, and advocate for nonviolent resistance whose profound influence shaped global civil rights and peace efforts. Born in 1869 in Porbandar, India, Gandhi trained as a lawyer in London before practicing in South Africa, where he developed his philosophy of satyagraha, or truth-force, in the fight against racial discrimination. Returning to India in 1915, he led the nonviolent campaign against British rule, inspiring millions through acts of civil disobedience, including the historic Salt March. Gandhi's writings articulate his ideals of self-reliance, ethical living, and interfaith harmony, offering timeless wisdom on justice and humanity. Assassinated in 1948, his legacy endures as a beacon for moral courage worldwide.
