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.
Further notes on Hinduism:
Hinduism is an Indian religion and dharma, or way of life, widely practiced in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, and some practitioners and scholars refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, "the eternal tradition", or the "eternal way", beyond human history. Scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion or synthesis of various Indian cultures and traditions, with diverse roots and no founder. This "Hindu synthesis" started to develop between 500 BCE and 300 CE, after the end of the Vedic period (1500 to 500 BCE), and flourished in the medieval period, with the decline of Buddhism in India.
Although Hinduism contains a broad range of philosophies, it is linked by shared concepts, recognizable rituals, cosmology, shared textual resources, and pilgrimage to sacred sites. Hindu texts are classified into Śruti ("heard") and Smṛti ("remembered").
These texts discuss theology, philosophy, mythology, Vedic yajna, Yoga, agamic rituals, and temple building, among other topics.Major scriptures include the Vedas and Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, and the Āgamas.
