Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, mononymously Mahatma Gandhi, was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist who employed non-violent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from the British rule. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom globally. The honorific Mahātmā, the term from Sanskrit, defined as great-souled, or venerable, first applied to him in South Africa in the year 1914, which is now used secularly. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in the year 1921, he led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, establishing religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, and, above all, attaining swaraj, also known as self-rule. Mahatma Gandhi adopted the short dhoti woven with hand-spun yarn as a mark of distinguishment with India's rural poor. He embarked to live in a self-sufficient residential society, to consume food that is a piece of cake, and undertake long fasts as a definition of both introspection and political protest. Bringing anti-colonial nationalism to the common Indians, he led them in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 400km, that is 250mi Dandi Salt March in the year 1930 and in calling for the British to quit India in the year 1942. He was jailed many times and for many years in both South Africa and India. His vision of an independent India according to religious pluralism was challenged in the early 1940s by a Muslim nationalism which demanded a split homeland for Muslims within British India. In August 1947, British granted independence, but the British Indian Empire was partitioned into 2 dominions, a Hindu-majority India and a Muslim-majority Pakistan. As many displaced Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs made their path to their latest lands, religious violence broke out, especially in the Punjab and Bengal. Abstaining from the official celebration of independence, Gandhi visited the affected locations, trying to alleviate distress. In the months of following, he undertook several hunger strikes to stop the religious violence. Now, he had passed away for many years. What was his cause of death? Here is the answer.....the last of these were begun in New Delhi on 12 January 1948, when he was 78. The belief that Mahatma Gandhi had been too resolute in his defense of both Pakistan and Indian Muslims spread among some Hindus in India. Among these was Nathuram Godse, a militant Hindu nationalist from Pune, western India, slaughtered Mahatma Gandhi by firing 3 bullets into his chest at an interfaith prayer meeting in new Delhi on 30 January 1948. Right here, Mahatma Gandhi's birthday, on 2 October, is commemorated in India as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Nonviolence. Mahatma Gandhi is considered as the Father of the Nation in post-colonial India. During India's nationalist movement and in several decades immediately after, he was also commonly called Bapu, an endearment roughly meaning "father".
Not to talk much about Mahatma Gandhi. This quote from him, here, says that everyone can be happy. I am a happy person too, even though I am born to be unique. Just think positively, be confidence, be grateful what you have, do good things, you can be happy, as usual. Above pictures show how my rabbit named Snowbaby does to become happy, enjoy.....
