1869 - The "father" of India's independence and the inspirer of peaceful protests Mahatma Gandhi was born
Mahatma Gandhi was a lawyer, politician, civil society activist. He became the leader of the nationalist movement against British rule in India. For this reason he was considered as the architect of independent India.
Gandhi is internationally acclaimed for his doctrine of non-violent protest (satyagraha) to achieve political and social progress.

Gandhi was the youngest child of his father's fourth wife. During the period of British rule, his father, who had completed only basic education, Karamchand Gandhi, was the chief minister of Porbandar, the capital of a small principality in Western India (today the state of Gujarat). However, he proved to be an able administrator interacting between many capricious local princes, their long-suffering subjects and the ruling British officials.
Meanwhile, Gandhi's mother, Putlibai, was completely devoted to religion. She spent her time between home and temple and fasted often.
Gandi u rrit në një familje të përkushtuar ndaj perëndisë hindu Vishnu, me një nuancë të fortë të Xhainizmit, një fe indiane moralisht rigoroze, ku një ndër parimet kryesore të saj është mos përdorimi i dhunës dhe besimi se gjithçka në Univers është e përjetshme.

Kështu, ai u rrit duke besuar tek himsa (mos-dëmtimi i të gjitha qenieve të gjalla), vegjetarianizmi, agjërimi për pastrimin e vetvetes dhe tek toleranca e ndërsjellë ndërmjet adhuruesve të besimeve dhe sekteve të ndryshme.
Pasi u diplomua si avokat në Londër, ai punoi për disa vite në Afrikën e Jugut, ku nisi të mbrojë të drejtat e emigrantëve indianë apo të zezakëve vendas që shtypeshin rregullisht nga të bardhët.
U rikthye në Indi në prag të Luftës së Parë Botërore, dhe në vitin 1919 u vendos në krye të lëvizjes për pavarësi, periudhë gjatë së cilës u arrestua dhe burgos disa herë.
Gjatë periudhës së burgut ai u fut disa herë në greva urie, për të sensibilizuar britanikët për nevojën e lejimit të ekzistencës së Indisë si një shtet i pavarur.
Pavarësia u arrit në vitin 1947, por përplasjet e forta midis hinduve dhe myslimanëve sollën shkëputjen e një pjese të vendit nën shtetin e ri të Pakistanit. Ky zhvillim revoltoi nacionalistët hindu, njëri prej të cilëve e vrau në një atentat në janarin e vitit 1948.
