This episode provides a comprehensive biography of Mahatma Gandhi, the influential leader who steered India’s movement for independence from British rule through nonviolent resistance. The text chronicles his transition from a London-educated lawyer and activist in South Africa to a central political figure and spiritual icon known as the "Father of the Nation." It details significant historical milestones, including the Salt March, the Quit India movement, and the tragic religious violence following the partition of the subcontinent. Beyond politics, the source explores his personal commitment to vegetarianism, asceticism, and the philosophical principles of Satyagraha. The overview concludes with his 1948 assassination by a Hindu nationalist and his enduring global legacy as a symbol of peace.
