A man who believed in non-violence. A man who is known as the father of the nation. Yes, these
things refer to Mohandas karamchand Gandhi, the father of nation Mahatma gandhi. Every year on 2nd oct, we show our heartfelt gratitude to the
father of the nation. His life had hurdles, obstacles and discouragement, still he believed in
non-violence. Mahatma Gandhi was born on 2nd October 1869, in porbandar gujarat. It was a
time when India had mostly lost the hope of getting independent. Mahatma Gandhi moved to
Rajkot for his schooling. He got married to Kasturba, when he was just 13. That was a time
when child marriage was common. In the year 1877 he completed his schooling and went to
London for his further studies in the field of law. It was difficult for him to get a job but, finally he
got a job and he was asked to move to South Africa for a year. He stayed in south africa for 20
years, everyone in south africa recognised Gandhi as an civil rights activist. He did many great
works in South Africa and lightened a small hope of their rights. The condition of India was
getting worse, Gopal Krishna gokhale called Gandhi back to India. Gandhi joined the national
congress and became part of the freedom struggle.
He believed in unity and nationalism. He tried to bring unity among the citizens and develop a
feeling of nationalism. One of the major andolan movements by Gandhi was asahyog andolan,
it's also referred to as not cooperation movement. According to Wikipedia, The Non-cooperation
movement was a political campaign launched on 4 September 1920, by Mahatma Gandhi to
have Indians revoke their cooperation from the British government, with the aim of inducing the
British to grant self-government.
In the year 1922, he was jailed for two years, because of andolans. But the unity of the citizens
helped Gandhi to come out of jail. In the year 1923 dandi yatra was started and around 7000
people were arrested. According to WikipediaThe Salt March, also known as the Salt
Satyagraha, Dandi March and the Dandi Satyagraha, was an act of nonviolent civil
disobedience in colonial India led by Mahatma Gandhi.
Quiet India movement, it was one of the most impactful movement by Gandhiji. According to
Wikipedia,The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Kranti Movement, was a
movement launched at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee by Mahatma
Gandhi on 8th August 1942, during World War II, demanding an end to British rule in India.
He got arrested many times, he had many obstacle and hurdles but his objective was clear, he
wanted India to be independent, he wanted freedom, he wanted everyone to be united. He
asked everyone's support, unity and hunger of freedom played a major role in freedom struggle.
Unfortunately, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948 at age 78 in the
compound of Birla House (now Gandhi Smriti), a large mansion in central New Delhi. We all
know he is no more us but, believe me he is still alive in everyone's heart.
