Mahatma Gandhi
1869 CE–1948 CE · Delhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948), widely known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the leading figure of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule. He developed and led a strategy of mass nonviolent resistance, known as satyagraha, through campaigns such as the 1930 Salt March and the Quit India movement of 1942. India gained independence in 1947, accompanied by partition into India and Pakistan. He was assassinated in New Delhi in January 1948 by a Hindu nationalist.
