Born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar town of Gujarat, Mahatma Gandhi or Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was the forefront of the freedom struggle against the colonial British rule with utmost patience. This led to India finally achieving its independence in 1947.
He was fondly known as Bapu, his unwavering belief in Swaraj (self-governance) and Ahimsa (non-violence) won him accolades across the world.
Globally, Gandhi’s birth anniversary is celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence and several events are held in India and across the world to mark the occasion.
