Mahatma Gandhi was born as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on October 2, 1869. He was assassinated by a Hindu nationalist, Nathuram Godse, on January 30, 1948. Gandhi dedicated his life towards bringing reforms, serving people and helping form an independent India which focused on progress, growth, non violence and being a celebrated secular, socialist republic. An Indian lawyer, an anti-colonial nationalist and a political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule, Gandhi’s life is full of teachings that can help each and everyone get through all the challenges of life while choosing to be better, do better and spreading peace.
