Mahatma Gandhi led a famous nonviolent resistance movement against British rule in India. Advocating for civil rights and independence, Gandhi employed methods such as protests, non-cooperation, and civil disobedience, which were grounded in principles of ahimsa, or non-violence. His approach galvanized millions of Indians in the struggle for freedom, gaining international attention and support. Key events, including the Salt March in 1930, highlighted his tactics and the movement's objectives. Gandhi's philosophy and methods had a profound impact on future civil rights movements worldwide, influencing figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.
