 1. Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi was born on October
2, 1869
Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian lawyer,
politician and thinker of the nineteenth and
twentieth century (born October 2, 1869 and
died murdered on January 30, 1948) known
primarily for claiming and leading the
independence of India through nonviolent
methods .

2. Childhood!
He was born in Porbandar, a small coastal city in
western India, the result of the marriage of
Karamchand Gandhi (prime minister of the city)
and Putlibai Gandhi. Her mother was one of her
most important influences in life, because she
learned respect for living beings, the virtues of
vegetarianism and tolerance towards different
ways of thinking, including other creeds and
religions.

Youth
With 18 years he moved to London to study law at
University College London. When he finished his
studies he returned to Bombay to try to practice as a
lawyer, but the supersaturation of the profession at
that time together with Gandhi's lack of real
experience in the courts made it impossible for him to
fulfill that purpose. Luckily, that same year (1893) he
was presented with the opportunity to work in South
Africa, a job he accepted in situ motivated by the
struggle of resistance and nonviolent civil
disobedience that his compatriots were carrying out in
the face of the pressure and discrimination of the
country towards Hindus

 4. Years in South Africa
There, in South Africa, Gandhi proved in first person the strong rejection
and hatred towards the Hindus, which motivated him in 1894 to create an
Indian political party that defended their rights. After 22 years of
non-violent protests in South Africa, Gandhi gained enough power and
respect to negotiate with the South African General Jan Christian Smuts a
solution to the Indian conflict.

 5. Back to india

In 1915 Gandhi returned to India, where he

continued to promulgate his religious,
philosophical and especially political values.
In recent years, two major social protests
stood out: the march of salt (1930) and the
demand for the independence of India from
the British Empire in the framework of
World War II (1939-1945).
The latter, which involuntarily
involved India in the war as a
British dependency, along with
all the years of nonviolent
struggle, eventually led to the
official independence of India on
August 15, 1947.

 6. Death

A few months later, on January 30, 1948,

Gandhi was killed by Nathuram Godse,
an ultra-right-wing Hindu fan related to
the government, who found in Gandhi
an obstacle to lift his project of the rise
of Hinduism to the detriment of other
beliefs and religions In this way, for
defending his ideology of an egalitarian
society, Gandhi would be killed at the
age of 78. 8
