Mahatma Gandhi
There are numerous internationally acclaimed leaders who have left a significant
impact on the world stage. One such leader whom I greatly admire is Mahatma Gandhi,
known as the father of the Indian independence movement.
Born in 1869 in Porbandar, India, Gandhi played a pivotal role in leading India
towards independence from British rule. He preached and practiced nonviolent civil
disobedience, strongly believing in the power of peaceful protests and passive
resistance. His most notable achievement was the successful Salt March in 1930, also
known as the Dandi March. Gandhi led a group of followers on a 240-mile journey to
produce salt from the sea, in direct violation of the British salt monopoly. This symbolic
act of defiance rallied Indians from all walks of life and became a turning point in India's
fight for independence.
