Top 10 Best Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, was born on October 2, 1869 in Porbandar, British India. He was an Indian jurist, politician, pacifist, human rights activist and spiritual leader of the Indian independence movement that brought about the end of British rule in the country in 1947. Gandhi became famous for his concept of satyagraha (“adhere to the truth”) and non-violent protests (based on the idea of ​​ahimsa) to achieve political goals.

Gandhi inspired political leaders such as Martin Luther King in the United States and Nelson Mandela in South Africa. Albert Einstein said about him: “For future generations it will be difficult to believe that such a person of flesh and blood once walked the earth.”
