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]
