Gandhi wasn’t just a political leader. He was a man who believed in the power of truth, simplicity, and humanity. With nothing but the strength of his words and the courage of his beliefs, he mobilized millions of Indians against British rule—without raising a sword.
From leading the Salt March to giving the call of “Do or Die” during the Quit India Movement, Gandhi’s journey is proof that one person’s conviction can shake an empire.
