Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most important leaders in world history. He was born in India in 1869 and believed strongly in nonviolence, which means solving problems without fighting. Gandhi led the Indian people to freedom from British rule by using peaceful actions such as marches, fasting, and telling the truth.
He taught the world that kindness, patience, and courage can change society. Gandhi’s life encourages children to stand up for what is right and to choose peace instead of violence.
