Features: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948) was a leader of India's independence movement, a great revolutionary, and a Hindu. During Gandhi's time, India was under British colonial rule, and the Indian people, under the iron heel of the colonial rulers, faced widespread displacement and a living hell. Faced with such suffering, Gandhi resolved to fight for the nation's independence and the people's happiness. Gandhi proposed the slogan of "nonviolent resistance," advocating for independence through peaceful means. He led the Indian people in the "nonviolent non-cooperation movement" against the British government, ultimately liberating India from British colonial rule and achieving independence in 1947, realizing Gandhi's revolutionary ideal of gaining national independence without bloodshed. Gandhi not only achieved great deeds but also possessed a "great soul." He was upright, visionary, and highly revered by the world, earning the title of "Father of the Nation" from the Indian people. Gandhi was also revered by later generations as the "Father of Nonviolence." The philosophy of "nonviolent resistance" he advocated has had a profound impact on the world.
