Mahatma Gandhi
1869 – 1948
Mahatma Gandhi led India's peaceful movement for independence from British rule using a method he called nonviolent resistance — protesting unfair laws without ever using violence. In 1930 he led the famous Salt March, walking about 240 miles to the sea to make salt by hand in defiance of a British tax, a protest that drew worldwide attention to India's cause. His approach inspired civil rights movements around the world, including Martin Luther King Jr.'s work in the United States. He is remembered globally as a symbol of peaceful protest and courage.
