Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born on 2 October 1869, was an Indian lawyer, resistance fighter, revolutionary, publicist, moral teacher, ascetic and pacifist. At the beginning of the 20th century, Gandhi campaigned in South Africa against racial segregation and for equal rights for Indians. He then developed into the political and spiritual leader of the Indian independence movement in India from the late 1910s. Gandhi demanded human rights for untouchables and women, he advocated reconciliation between Hindus and Muslims, fought against colonial exploitation and for a new, self-sufficient economic system based on the peasant way of life. With non-violent resistance, civil disobedience and hunger strikes, the independence movement finally brought about the end of British colonial rule over India (1947), combined with the partition of India. Six months later, on 30 January 1948, Gandhi was assassinated. (wp)
