Talk with Mahatma Gandhi

1869–1948

Leader of the Indian independence movement

Gandhi trained as a lawyer in London and developed his method of nonviolent resistance, satyagraha, while fighting discrimination against Indians in South Africa. Back in India, he led mass campaigns against British rule, including the 1930 Salt March. He lived to see independence in 1947 and was assassinated a few months later.
