Gandhi). Gandhi’s eloquence and embrace of an ascetic lifestyle based on prayer, fasting and meditation earned him the reverence of his followers, who called him Mahatma (Sanskrit for “the great-souled one”). He devoted himself to the propagation of Hindu-Muslim unity, removal of untouchablity, equality of women and men, and khadi. He realized that people had to be trained for non violent agitation.

At that time Gandhiji was studying at Samaldas College in Bhavnagar. His methods inspired various leaders, and youth not only in India but also outside of India. He was born in the distinguished family of administrators. He was influenced by the idea of Satyagraha which is a devotion to truth and in 1906 implemented a non-violent protest. This period in prison was of bereavement for Gandhiji.

In Indian history, he is considered the most prominent personality and as the simplest person who wears a dhoti. No doubt, he also improved the lives of India's poor people. He suggested the formation of an association to look after the Indian settlers and offered his free time and services.   During his stay in South Africa, Gandhiji's life underwent a change and he developed most of his political ideas.

Drawn back into the political fray by the outbreak of World War II, Gandhi again took control of the INC, demanding a British withdrawal from India in return for Indian cooperation with the war effort.    This incident changed Gandhiji's life forever. He broke the law, which had deprived the poor man of his right to make salt .This simple act was immediately followed by a nation-wide defiance of the law.

Gandhiji fasted in support of workers. In 1915 when Gandhiji returned from South Africa he had established his ashram at Kochrab near Ahmedabad. At Dandi Gandhiji picked up handful of salt thus technically ‘producing’ the salt. Gandhiji was born in middle class family of Vaishya caste. In the course of his struggle in South Africa, Gandhiji, developed the concepts of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satyagraha (holding fast to truth or firmness in a righteous cause).

He was also considered the father of the country.

After two days he sailed for India.

He made unsuccessful attempts to establish his legal practice at Rajkot and Bombay.
