Mahatma Gandhi was the greatest world leader of the 20th century. He is called the “Father of the Nation”.
We also call him “Bapuji”.
He was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar in Gujarat. He went to England to study law. After coming back to India, he went to South Africa to practise law.
He was not treated well in South Africa because he was not a white man.
He protested against the policy of discrimination of the South African government for many years.
At last, the Indians in South Africa were given a few rights. Then he returned to India. Here, he fought for the freedom of the country. His weapons were truth and non-violence. He started the Quit India Movement in 1942. At last, India got freedom on August 15, 1947. He was shot by Nathu Ram Godse on January 30, 1948.
