Mahatma Gandhi, the global leader: UN observes his birthday as Intern'l Day of Non-violence

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who was born on 2 October 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat to Putlibay and Karamchand Gandhi, preached Ahimsa (non-violence) and peace. He opposed the ancient and inviolable caste system, thereby promoting equality for all. His teachings and ideology of peace traveled the world and made Gandhi a household name during India's struggle for freedom. So much so that Indian Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore even awarded him the title Mahatma. Mahatma Gandhi's unique teachings and practices of Ahimsa and Satyagra convinced hundreds and thousands of Indians, united them and inspired them to fight nonviolently for freedom against the British Raj. In 1930 he led the famous Dundee March and in 1942 founded the Out India movement against British rule in India. Of course, Mahatma Gandhi played an important role in the liberation of India from the British, which is why he deserves to be called the father of the nation. His achievements and teachings are remembered for years after his assassination on January 30, 1948. So much so that the United Nations General Assembly designated Mahatma Gandhi's birthday on October 2 as International Day of Nonviolence to commemorate the philosophy of Ahimsa and to honor him.
