Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi,known with love as Bapu(father in local Gujarsti dialect) was born this day in the state of Gujarat, was the leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

He had a simple funda of life which everyone knows and always followed it sternly that is Simple Living and High Thinking.
He was the master of non voilence and all his protest were non voilent.His thinking was nonviolence is the law of the human race and is infinitely greater than and superior to brute force. In the last resort it does not avail to those who do not possess a living faith in the God of Love. Nonviolence affords the fullest protection to one's self-respect and sense of honour, but not always to possession of land or movable property, though its habitual practice does prove a better bulwark than the possession of armed men to defend them. Nonviolence, in the very nature of things, is of no assistance in the defence of ill-gotten gains and immoral acts.
