Overview
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (/ˈɡɑːndi,ˈɡændi/;[3]GAHN-dee; 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer,[4]anti-colonial nationalist[5] and political ethicist[6] who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule,[7] and to later inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: "great-souled", "venerable"), first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world.[8][9]
