Sobre o Autor

Mahatma Gandhi, known as the father of the Indian independence movement, was a leader who championed nonviolent resistance against British rule in India. His philosophy of Satyagraha, which emphasized truth and nonviolence, inspired millions around the world. Gandhi's approach combined political activism with spiritual growth, making him a unique figure in the struggle for civil rights and social change. He believed that personal transformation was essential for societal transformation, and his life reflected his commitment to simplicity, self-discipline, and ethical living.

Throughout his life, Gandhi engaged in various movements aimed at addressing social issues such as untouchability, poverty, and women's rights. His efforts culminated in India gaining independence in 1947, yet his legacy extends beyond borders, influencing leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. Gandhi's teachings continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about peace, justice, and the power of nonviolent protest. His writings and actions remain a source of inspiration for those advocating for social change today.
