Mahatma Gandhi:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a leader of nationalism in British-ruled India. He is more commonly called Mahatma Gandhi. He was first called this in 1914 in South Africa. He is also called Bapu in India.
Gandhi was one of the most important people involved in the movement for the independence of India. He was a non-violent activist, who led the independence movement through a non-violent protest.
Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat, India. When Gandhi was 18 years old, he went to England to study law.
After he became a lawyer, he went to the British colony of South Africa where he experienced laws that said people with dark skin had fewer rights than people with light skin. In 1897, Gandhi was attacked by a group of people in Durban Harbor, South Africa when he was going to work. He went to South Africa because he could not find work in India. When traveling through South Africa, Gandhi was also kicked out of a first class train because of his skin color.
Gandhi started protesting against segregation. He decided then to become a political activist, so he could help change these unfair laws.

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, popularly known as Babasaheb, was born 14 April 1891 in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh. He is known for his inspirational work for Dalit community of India. He was an Indian jurist, politician and social reformer. He was Independent India’s first law minister and was among the main architect in designing Constitution of India.
Ambedkar was born into a poor low Mahar caste in the town and military cantonment of Mhow in the Central Provinces (now in Madhya Pradesh). He was the son of Ramji Maloji Sakpal, who served in the British Army, and Bhimabai. Being from Mahar Caste, he was treated as untouchables and subjected to socio-economic discrimination.
In 1897, he was the only untouchable enrolled at Elphinstone High School. In 1907, he was admitted to Elphinstone College. By 1912, he obtained his degree in economics and political science from Bombay University.
Later, he earned law degree from Columbia University and various doctorates from London School of Economics. And during his higher studies, all the thesis work on which he worked upon was done on topics related to India. This made in-depth analysis of our country. He is memorized for the work he had done to uplift that time’s untouchable society and setting the benchmark by becoming first person to be enrolled in all these schools and colleges from untouchable group of people.
He was appointed as Military Secretary to the Gaikwad but had to quit within a short time. He worked as a private tutor, as an accountant, and established an investment consulting business, but it failed when his clients learned that he was an untouchable.
In 1918 he became Professor of Political Economy in the Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai. Later he went on to work as a legal professional. And while practicing law in Bombay High Court he tried his best to uplift the status of untouchables. He was the man behind quota reservations for schedule caste in India.
