Mahatma Gandhi (1869 – 1948)
Essay on Mahatma Gandhi
 The anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi (Gandhi
Jayanti) is celebrated on October 2 as a national event
throughout India. This day is observed throughout the
world as the International Day of Nonviolence. Mahatma
Gandhi has contributed untiringly and selflessly to the
struggle for independence for independence.
 The ideals of Mahatma Gandhi were Satya (truth) and
ahimsa (nonviolence). For his philosophy of truth and
nonviolence, he paved the way for India's independence
from the British. Mahatma Gandhi was named as the father
of the nation. It was the harbinger of hope not only for
India but for the world.
 Mahatma Gandhi not only made a significant
contribution to India's fight against the British for freedom,
but through his iconoclastic vision, he urged people all over
the world to confront any form of Discrimination, whether
by caste , color, little.
 The profound quote of Mahatma Gandhi, "The best way to
meet is to lose yourself in the service of others", sums up
correctly his important selfless contribution to India.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, an iconoclastic and
disinterested man, was born on October 2, 1869 in
Karamchand Uttamchand Gandhi and Putlibai, in a family
of Hindu merchant castes in Porbandar, Gujarat state.
 He practiced law for a year at the University of Bombay,
then was transferred to University College London, where
he graduated in 1891. Mahatma Gandhi was admitted to the
law school of England. He practiced law in Bombay (now
Mumbai) for a year before traveling to South Africa, where
he was a victim of racism.
 Mahatma Gandhi used nonviolent civil disobedience for the
first time in South Africa as part of the struggle of the
Indian civil rights community. His nonviolence and his
satyagraha were the tools with which he could lead India to
independence without spilling a drop of blood.
 Mahatma Gandhi inspired people with his famous
phrase "Be the change you want to see in the world.“
 He practiced nonviolence, truth and self-control. While
in London, he became more committed to a vegetarian
diet and encouraged others to adopt a vegetarian diet
as well. The father of the nation believed in simple life
and high thinking. He lived simply, wore a traditional
Indian dhoti and a shawl woven from wool spun by
hand in a charkha. He abstained from eating meat,
alcohol and promiscuity. Mahatma Gandhi made long
fasts to mark his opposition to political protest.
 In 1916, Mahatma Gandhi was arrested for organizing the
civil resistance of tens of thousands of landless peasants and
serfs in the district of Champaran, Bihar, India. Through the
Champaran Satyagraha of 1916, Mahatma Gandhi and the
farmers and serfs opposed the increasing British tax on
farmers during the devastating famine.
 With his determination, Gandhi surprised the British in 1930
with his 440 km walking towards the sea to oppose the British
monopoly of salt and led the Indians to question the salt tax
imposed by the British. The Dandi Salt Walk is a record of
history and about 60,000 people were imprisoned after
Dandi's departure.
 Gandhi believed that all human beings are special persons
of God and that they should be treated equally, regardless
of their caste, color, language, creed, region, religion and
ethnic origin. Mahatma Gandhi believed in religious
pluralism and campaigned for the empowerment of the
untouchables, whom he called the Harijans (children of
God). In 1942, Gandhi urged the Indians to stop
cooperating with the British and called for the Quit India
movement.
 However, India's struggle for independence lasted a long
time and many people sacrificed their lives during this
process. India finally gained freedom in August 1947. But
independence was followed by the terrible partition.
 After the partition and the witnesses of religious violence
related to the creation of India and Pakistan after the
independence of India in 1947, Gandhi carried out
innumerable fasts until death to put an end to religious
violence. . The father of the nation was killed on January
30, 1948, after Nathuram Godse fired three bullets at Birla
House in New Delhi.
 The father of the nation was a well-read man and a
passionate writer. His philosophy of ahimsa, satyagraha and
civil disobedience remains a powerful philosophy in
people's lives and has helped people around the world to
gather the courage to oppose discrimination.
