Gandhi was married at age 13 and studied law in London. He faced discrimination in South Africa, which prompted him to fight injustice through nonviolent resistance in India. This included protesting unfair taxes, leading a march to make salt to defy the British salt tax, and demanding independence from Britain. Despite opposition to the partition of India, Gandhi continued his nonviolent campaign for independence and equality until his assassination in 1948.
