Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas Karamch and Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, revered the world over for his nonviolent philosophy of passive resistance, known as “satyagraha.” He was known to his many followers as Mahatma, or “the great-souled one.” His message of peace and non-violence helped lead the successful campaign for India’s independence from British Rule and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. His many writings offered inspirational words of wisdom, such as “Be the change that you want to see in the world,” “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes,” and “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”
