Mahatma Gandhi or more lovingly known as Bapu by all Indians is internationally acknowledged for his doctrine of non-violence that led to India to its glorious freedom.
2 October every year is celebrated as Gandhi Jayanti the story of his life has impacted humanity to its core.
Gandhi played a significant role in India's freedom movement. His method of non-violence encouraged and inspired several civil rights movements across the world where he fought to bring noteworthy changes in society.
Let us pay homage to the great man who taught the world that even the toughest wars can be won with peace and truth.
During the Indian freedom struggle, Gandhi decided to advocate peaceful protests which were conducted with the principle of non-violence (ahimsa). He took a stand for human rights and inspired millions of Indians with his ideology of truth, non-violence, and social welfare. He was a part of major freedom movements like Champaran Satyagraha (1917), Kheda Satyagraha (1917 -1918), Khilafat Movement (1919), Non-Cooperation Movement (1920), Civil-Disobedience Movement (1930), and Quit India Movement (1942). His championship of non-violence and contribution to these movements earned him the title of Bapu or Father of the Nation. (KNS)
