Wednesday's International Day of Non-Violence marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi - a leader who remained committed to the principle of non-violence. 



Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule, and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Wikipedia


Born: October 2, 1869, Porbandar, India
Full name: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Assassinated: January 30, 1948, New Delhi, India





Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

It was a known fact that Tagore admired Mahatma Gandhi as a political leader and a person. It was Tagore who popularized and associated the term 'Mahatma' for Gandhi. However, they shared completely different views on science, nationalism, social and economic development, and patriotism.
