Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) introduced nonviolent, civil disobedience, and movements for civil rights to inspire and seek freedom. Born and raised in a Hindu merchant caste family in Gujarat, India, and trained in law at the Inner Temple, London.
Gandhi first employed nonviolent civil disobedience as an expatriate lawyer in South Africa and later, upon returning back to India in 1915, he set about organizing peasants, farmers, and urban laborers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination.
Gandhi's vision of an independent India was based on religious pluralism, however, and was challenged in the early 1940s by a new Muslim nationalism which demanded a separate Muslim homeland carved out of India. Eventually, in August 1947, Britain granted independence partitioning India into two dominions, a Hindu-majority India and Muslim Pakistan.
