Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869 in British-occupied India. Though he studied law in London and lived for years in South Africa, he remained devoted to his homeland and spent his later life working to achieve independence for India. Gandhi advocated nonviolent civil disobedience and eventually led India in its fight for independence, inspiring civil rights movements around the world. Gandhi is an international symbol of hope, peace, and freedom.
