Mahatma Gandhi was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to serving others through nonviolent means. As a lawyer, he found success but no fulfillment until embarking on a path of service. Gandhi lived simply among the people of India, dressing in a loin cloth, living in a hut, and eating a basic diet. Through peaceful demonstrations and civil disobedience, he campaigned for equal rights and treatment for Indians. Even when faced with violence, Gandhi responded with forgiveness and continued his mission of serving all people.
