Growing up in India, Gandhi led a rebellious life and went against his parents’ values. But as a young man, he formed beliefs of his own that harked back to the Hindu principles of his childhood. Gandhi dreamt of unity for all peoples and religions. Inspired by this idea, he led peaceful protests to free India from British rule and unite the country—ending violence and unfair treatment. His bravery and free-thinking made him one of the most iconic people of peace in the world, known as ‘Mahatma’ meaning ‘great soul’.
