it's really interest film. The Gandhi was born on the 2nd of October, 2869 in Portland, Gujarat,India.he died on Th 30th of January,1948 in new Delhi,India.Gandhi was a great political and spiritual leader for India,when India was still under the rule of British empire.


Gandhi showed through protesting in a non-violent way, great things could be a achieved. through his pioneering way of the philosophy satyriasis ( the resistance of tyranny through mass civil disobedience) Gandhi lead India to its independence.



Gandhi studied at the university college London to train as a barrister. After finishing his time in England Gandhi moved back to India where he tried unsuccessfully to open his own law firm. In 1893 he accepted a year-long contract from a Indian firm to a post in Natal, South Africa.



Moving to South Africa was the changing point Gandhi was a stretcher barer.

He was decorated for his courage at the battle of spin kop.At that time gandhi corresponded with Leo Tolstoy and exressed his admiration of tostoyan principle of non-violence. In 1906 Gandhi, for the first time, organized a non-violent resistance against the transvaal government's registration act.

Smuts to negotiate a compromise with Gandhi.



by 1944 the indian stuggle for independence was in it's final stages, the british government having agreed to independence on condition that the two contending nationlist groups, the muslim league and the congress party, should resolve their differences. Gandhi stood steadfastly against the partition of india but ultimately had to agree, in the hope that internal peace would be achieved after the muslim demand for separation had been satisfied. india and pakistan became separate state when the British graned india it's independence in 1947.
