Mahatma Gandhi was a remarkable leader, a liberator, and a spiritual philosopher who guided the Indian independence movement with the twofold principles of truth (Satya) and nonviolence (Ahimsa). He was referred to as the Father of the Nation and he infused millions of people with the idea to combat the oppressor in a manner that no hatred or violence would be involved. His modest way of living, immense love for others, and firm conviction in the goodness of man turned him into a worldwide icon of peace and principled governance. The impact of Gandhi is felt not only in India but also in other places that have adopted his ways through civil rights movements and peaceful protests. His teachings on peace, love, and self-control still have a strong echo even in our times.
