Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2nd 1869 in Porbandar in Gujarat.

Known as 'Mahatma' (great soul), Gandhi was the leader of the Indian nationalist movement against British rule, and is widely considered the father of his country. His doctrine of nonviolent protest to achieve political and social progress has been hugely influential.

On January 30th 1948, he was assassinated in Delhi by a Hindu fanatic.

Gandhi fiando, photo from 1946. Another effective strategy of Gandhi for independence was the policy of swadeshi - the boycott of all imported products, especially those produced in England. Allied to this strategy was the proposal that all Indians should wear the Khader - garments home - instead of buying the British textile products.

Forgiveth friend is a gesture of courage And not of weakness
The friendship is a love that never dies.
Clicia Pavan

Ahimsa (non violence) is the attribute of the soul and therefore must be practiced by all, at all times of life. If you can not be practiced in all areas of life,then it has no practical value.

The greatest test of non-violence is in fact not be any bitterness after a non-violent conflict with the enemies become friends. That was my experience in South Africa with General Smuts. He started as my opponent and critic most contentious. Today,my friend is warm
Non-violence should never be used as a shield for cowardice.It is a weapon for the brave

To obtain the friendship of a person is worthy to develop in ourselves the qualities that we admire
It is better to speak
we our life,that our words

His real name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Mahatma means "great soul". Only acquire perfect health living in obedience to the laws of nature. True happiness is impossible
without true health and true health is impossible without strict control of gluttony. All other senses
will be automatically subject to control when gluttony is under control.
That which dominates their own senses conquered the world and became part harmony of nature.
Gandhi

The lesson of Gandhi teaches us
Loving God
Love the neighbor
To love me
To practice non-violence
Eating organic food, drink pure water and avoid exposure to environmental chemicals can have a profound effect on health
Good humor saves us from the hands of the doctor.

Gandhi wanted to end the bondage of the British colonization of India."He felt that the control of India depended on the cooperation of Indian and British enforcement of no." How could 100 thousand soldiers controlling 350 million people? He said: "We should not hate the British, they were not taken from us to India, to whom We gave them." Thus urged his country to stop doing something that the British wanted. The entire nation should be paralyzed in an act of mass civil disobedience.
To achieve this goal, Gandhi found a specific situation of all that happened under the British domination, which was the monopoly of taxation and salt. The salt was chosen to be a powerful symbol: "There is something that we all need, that it should be taxed
Thousands of people attended the march,and when Gandhi reached the shore finally spoke on the eve of action,to twelve thousand people: "Hold the salt in your hand and think it is worth 60 million rupees.
his is what the British government is taking from us with the monopoly of salt"
