Gandhi was born 2nd October 1869 and died 30th January 1948 after seeing his desire for Indian independence from Britain come to fruition in 1947. He began his non violent civil disobedience while an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, during the resident Indian community’s struggle for civil rights returning to India in 1915, he organized protests by peasants, farmers, and urban labourers concerning excessive land-tax and discrimination.
It’s interesting to note that he was protesting against the very things that Britain was foisting on his beloved India, that British authorities are foisting on its own population in present times.
