Who was Mohandas Gandhi?

Answer 1

Mohandas K. Gandhi was a practitioner of what the West calls Hinduism. His religious scruples demanded that no person harm another, a concept founded in Hinduism's practice and tenet of Ahimsa. He was born in India in 1869. He studied law and embarked on a legal career in South Africa, where he was involved in the struggle for civil rights for individuals the British rulers called "coloreds"--nonwhite, nonblack residents. He returned to India in 1915 and was a major figure in the Subcontinent's movement seeking independence from Great Britain. He employed nonviolent tactics that would be later copied by Martin Luther King Jr. in the Civil Rights Movement for blacks in America during the 1950s and 1960s. Gandhi's work led to the independence of two countries carved out of the Subcontinent, India and Pakistan in 1947 (n.b., in the 1970s, East Pakistan declared itself separate from West Pakistan, becoming the nation of Bangladesh). Although Gandhi never took government office, he remained an important spiritual and political force in India until his assassination in 1948. His spiritual approach to the civil rights and independence movements, as well as to his daily life, earned him the honorific "Mahatma," loosely meaning, "great spirit."
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (also widely known as Mahatma Gandhi) was an important leader in India during its independence movement, influencing people both spiritually and politically. He was born in 1869 in Porbandar in the Indian state of Gujarat and died in 1948. When he was 13, he was married to Kasturbai.After Mohandas Gandhi's father passed away in 1885, he went to England to become a barrister. He passed the bar examination in 1891 and returned to India, where he discovered that his mother had passed away while he was overseas. In 1893 he took a job which sent him to South Africa, where Mohandas Gandhi first realized the degree to which racism was present in the world
