Mohandas was as human like all of us. He also did mistakes. But virtue that made him superior to all of us was, that he rectified his mistakes and never repeated them again in his life. Mohandas passed his Matriculation exam from Rajkot and thereafter joined Samaldas College in Bhavnagar. He went to study Law in England and returned back as a Barrister after 3 years.

He began to practice law in Bombay but could not attain success in it because he fought for truth and very rare cases were picked up by him, as he only selected the true cases and rejected the false ones. Therefore, very few cases were fought by him. In the year 1913, he went to South Africa to plead the case of a company called Dada Abdullah and Co.


In Africa he was travelling by a train, when a white threw him out of the train as the belonged to the black race. At that time apartheid was on its peak in S. Africa. Mohandas was deeply hurt with this incident. He was shocked at the cruel behaviour of the whites, who discriminated between caste, colour and creed and had no mercy at the plight of innocent people.

Mahatma Gandhi took a pledge to revolt against the wrongs done by the Whites. In South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi fought for the rights of Indians and began a ‘Satyagraha’ movement to improve their condition.


The Racialist regime of South Africa had to bow its head before him and thus ‘The Indian Relief Act' was passed in favour of the Indians settled there. In the year 1915 Gandhi came back to India and joined the Indian National Congress.


In 1924, he got elected as the President of Indian National Congress. He began the Non-Co-operation Movement in 1930 to protest against the atrocities done by the British through peaceful ways. In 1930 he began the Civil Disobedience Movement. The Quit India Movement was started by him in the year 1942.


He had to endure the tyrannies of the cruel britishers but he tolerated all their atrocities with a hope for a better tomorrow. He was hopeful that one day the Britishers would have to run away from his nation and thus the nation shall get freedom from their entangles. Finally, Mahatma Gandhi's all dreams took a practical shape. India attained freedom on 15th August 1947.


But a section of people was not happy with his policies. A person called Nathuram Godse could not digest Mahatma Gandhi's popularity. He shot him dead on January 30, 1948, in a prayer assembly at Birla house, Delhi. The lover of mankind left his beloved nation bereaved at his loss.
Numerous people come and go from this earth, but a person like Mahatma Gandhi leaves a mark that can never be erased.

Mahatma Gandhi By elevating Gandhi as 'Father of the Nation', the people of India have already accepted the pre-eminent role which he played in transforming our ancient society into a modern nation. Besides fighting successfully the battle of freedom the moral way, he devised important principles for the upliftment of our caste-ridden unequal society to an egalitarian and simple society with ideals of self-sufficiency in every walk of life.

His principles of thought and action do hold the promise of guiding us in the future by seeking to carry out social, political and moral experiments of his choice, which alone could create solutions of the anguish and dilemmas of the people.


Before we focus our gaze on such issues, it is necessary to say a few words about what the phrase the “Father of the Nation” really signifies- In the long history of the civilization of India, the 20th century stood for the Indian people as a century of freedom, and dramatic and qualitative transformation in social, economic and political domains.

The question of political liberty, of freedom from British domination, was simply one aspect of this complex and multifaceted phenomena. No less significant were the other integrally associated changes in the social, economic and moral domains.

Equally relevant to the issue is the fact that in the course of his societal experimentation,  The moral logic and the spatial trajectory of his politics, therefore, has to be understood in relationship with the total transformation which he sought to negotiate within the lifestream of the Indian nation.

At the outset, Gandhi was able to offer to the people of the country as well to the British, the suppressors of the people, a satisfactory answer to the question of India's identity as a modern nation, and her viability as a liberal and democratic polity. For the British, as in the role of Gandhi's political adversaries, questioned the very notion of India as a liberal polity and a viable nation.

 The sub-continent of India, according to the British, was inhabited by an amorphous civilisation constituted, in most of its long history, of factions and warring states and at the same time, as the civilisation of India was composed of a profoundly unequal and hierarchical society, highly unsuitable as the base of a liberal polity. But by drawing upon a saintly idiom of militant nonviolence, which Gandhi's Satyagraha was, the Mahatma organised one of the most substantial mass movements in world history in the 20th century, to portray the strategic cohesion of Indian society.

Before the arrival of Gandhi from South Africa Indian Freedom movement was just like any other freedom movements which were happening in the other countries of the world or had taken place during the French and American revolutions Mahatma Gandhi gave a unique character to Indian. Freedom movement. 

His political philosophy of truth and non-violence just goes unparalleled in the history of the world. He emphasised on the involvement of masses in the 'Struggle for Independence'. According to him, individual efforts may lead to partial or no success. And the use of violence will only strengthen the opponent, Britishers, They next time, they will retort more strongly. It is through truth, non-violence, love, persuasion we will be able to change their hearts.

He had organised three mass movements Civil Disobedience, non-co-operation, and Quit India- which shook the British Empire. Such had been the impact of Mahatma in the Indian Freedom movement that after his arrival from South Africa the whole freedom movement of India revolved round him.

Small wonder then that while the common folk of India looked upon the Mahatma as the “Father of the nation", the world as a whole regarded him as the greatest theorist and practitioner of nonviolence in the 20th century.

Gandhi's definition of the collective identity of Indian society as an entity shaped through the creative interplay of different constituents of a uniquely plural social order is something which needs to be highlighted in the context of social turbulence of our times. This is so because of the challenge posed by an alternative definition of an overarching identity of Indian nation, which puts the moral and cultural world of nationalism above that of all the religious systems of India.

Any step towards undoing the sacred contract which drew different communities into cohesive nationhood would have paved the way for the dissolution of the national unity of India. And such a step eventually brought the partition of the country.

Besides seeking to resolve the vexed question of the collective identity of a society as diverse as Indian society, Gandhi also reflected and experimented upon the matter in which production and distribution of wealth could best be organized within India for the collective good of the people.

More than half a century after his death, Mahatma Gandhi remains, as always, the symbol of individual courage and righteousness, against the forces of the state. His example inspired Martin Luther King and black Americans to organize the civil rights campaign of the 1960s. At a later date Nelson Mandela testified to have come under the same influence. Having slid down the moral scale of human values and finding corruption rampant in society around, he said, “We need to pay more heed to the basic principles of Gandhian philosophy if we are to come out of this quagmire.”
