Brief Info: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi , also known as Mahatma Gandhi, Taught peace, non violent civil disobedience and the importance of living a simple life, Indian nationalist leader Mahatma Gandhi, is remembered as a major political and spiritual leader whose philosophies continue to be adhered to today. During his life, he advocated independence for India and worked to alleviate poverty in his country and end the caste system, which resulted in widespread discrimination. His belief in simple living led to him make his own clothes and use fasts for purification as well as protest. After India's independence, he fought to stop the Hindu-Muslim conflict in Bengal, which led to his eventual assassination by a Hindu fanatic. Even in death, Gandhi continues to be a beacon of hope for millions of oppressed people throughout the world.
