Here is your answer -

The world knows glory in many forms. There are the great who drank to military achievements and there are some whose inventions and discoveries have transformed the way we live. But Mahatma Gandhi stands in a category of his own. He was an inventor of a unique way of living, in which he emphasized on waging peace and not making wars. The moral universe was his field of action and his weapons were truth and non-violence. He never wanted to attain the kingdom of heaven but to make this world a better place to live in by bringing about some radical changes in our society and changing people’s perception.  

Indian Nationalist Leader Gandhi was born in Porbandar, Gujarat, which was then part of the British Empire. Gandhi’s father served as the Chief Minister in Porbandar and other states while his mother was a deeply religious woman. Although he aspired to be a doctor, his father wanted him to become a government official like him, so he steered Gandhi in the legal profession. When he was 18, he was sent to South Africa to study law. After struggling to find work, he finally signed a one-year contract to perform legal services in South Africa. While he was in South Africa, he was greatly appalled by the racial discrimination which the Indian migrants face at the hands of Britishers and Boers. He fought against such discrimination vigorously.

When he returned to India, he was still unknown. But what brought him faith and public confidence was the fact that he stood up against the British authorities. He protested the arbitrary Rowlatt Act and called for a Satyagraha Campaign to protest peacefully. He also launched the Non-Cooperation Movement, insisting on boycotting British goods and services. He also started the Khilafat Movement which would bring Hindus and Muslims under one umbrella. He propagated non-violence as the means to fight the Britishers and also insisted on Swadeshi. In 1930, he launched Salt Satyagraha or Dandi March, in which he and other people broke salt laws around the country, the laws that prevented common people from producing salt. This was the movement which brought him international fame because this was the first time when a movement saw massive participation of women. He also fought for untouchables or Harijans who were segregated from society. He then initiated the Quit India Movement that necessitated the immediate British withdrawal from the nation. But this movement was not a success, as Britishers were successful in repressing Indians and indeed the movement. Subsequently, in 1947, the country became free but at the cost of Partition. Gandhi was strictly against the Partition of the then British India and consistently worked to keep the communities unified, but he couldn’t succeed. In 1948, his journey came to an end when an extremist Hindu assassinated him. This violent act took the life of a pacifist who always preached non-violence.

Even after his assassination, his philosophies and teachings are still entrenched in our hearts and give a beacon of hope that the world can still become a better place to live in.
