★ As We know that, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2nd October 1869 at Porbandar, a small town on the Western Coast of India, which was then a tiny state in Kathiawar. He was born in a middle class family of Vaishya caste. His father Karamchand was and his mother was Putlibai. Mohandas Gandhi went to an elementary school in Porbandar, where he found it difficult to master the multiplication tables. He had two brothers and a sister and was the youngest of all. He was excessively shy and timid. While he was still in school, he was married, at the age of 13, to Kasturba who was also of the same age. Mohandas went to England to study law and returned as a lawyer in 1890.
★ He became the President of Indian National Congress. He protested against the British rule and in order to free India from the foreign yoke, Gandhi launched three mass movements, namely Non-cooperation movement in 1920, Civil Disobedience movement in 1939 with his famous ‘Dandi March’ to break the salt law and Quit India movement in 1942. Those three movements shook the foundation of British Empire in India and brought millions of Indians together into the freedom struggle movement.
★ Gandhi did not live long to enjoy the freedom of a free nation. On January 30, 1948, he was shot dead by Nathuram Godse, when he was on his way to an evening prayer meeting. Thus, it ended the life of the ‘Great Mahatma’, who lived and died for his motherland and millions.
★Today Mahatma Gandhi is known as the ‘Father of the Nation’ because he laid the true foundation of independent India with his noble ideals and supreme sacrifice. He was fondly called ‘Bapu’. His birthday on 2nd October is celebrated as a National Holiday across the country and his image appears on the Indian currency notes.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule and in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.
