Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi ( 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), the "father" of the current Indian nation, commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights and freedom across the world.
