Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), also known as Mahatma Gandhi, was an Indian anti-colonial activist and bourgeois revolutionary. He was an idealist and led the peasantry to support the bourgeois-led national liberation movement against British occupation. His non-violent tactics opposed imperialism while also discouraging a mass revolution. The bourgeoisie turned against him after independence once his values began to hinder their rule, leading to his assassination.[1]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Gandhi was born in a family of servants to the feudal rulers of Porbandar State (modern-day Gujarat).[1]

In 1921, he denounced the British government and called for a boycott of the British legislature. He opposed involvement in the Second World War.[1]

Post-independence[edit | edit source]

In 1947, Gandhi proposed transforming the Indian National Congress into a non-political organization that would only serve the people. The Congress rejected this proposal.[1]
