What can a man do with 78 years of his lifetime? Well, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi would reply, “Freedom to my people.” During the first 45 years of his lifetime, he experienced the brutal realities of slavery in his own country and South Africa. During these times, he confronted the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus mentions, “…ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Mathew 6:39, KJV). It influenced the father of the nation to develop the strategy of nonviolent resistance or Ahimsa that, in turn, resulted in the freedom of India. Since his saga started on October 2nd, 1869, India pays tribute to him by commemorating his contributions to the nation on this day as Gandhi Jayanti. The United Nations recognizes this day as the International Day of Non-Violence. He destined himself to trials for the freedom of his people. That’s why the nation calls him as Mahatma!
