Mahatma Gandhi led the nonviolent resistance movement in India against British rule. Advocating for peaceful protest and civil disobedience, Gandhi emphasized the power of nonviolent strategies to achieve social and political change. His leadership during pivotal events, such as the Salt March in 1930, galvanized the Indian populace and drew international attention to the struggle for independence. Gandhi's commitment to ahimsa, or non-violence, and his vision of self-rule resonated deeply with people across the nation. Today, he is celebrated as a symbol of peace and a key figure in the global movement for civil rights and freedom.
