Mahatma
Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi’s campaign of nonviolent civil resistance to
British rule of India led to India’s independence in 1947. A
member of the merchant caste, Mohandas K. Gandhi, later called Mahatma
(Sanskrit for "great soul"), studied law in London. As a
lawyer, and later as a political activist, he effectively fought
discrimination with his principles of truth, nonviolence, and
courage. |
