Mahatma Gandhi's Independence Movement

The primary leader of India 's independence movement and the architect of a form of non-violent civil disobedience, Mahatma Gandhi, that would influence the world that we live today. Gandhi has a degree in law from university college of London. He grew up in India with a father that served as prime minister and a mother that was deeply religious. Gandhi change his focus from law to civil rights because of an experience he faced in South Africa of racial discrimination. Which he then went to India to free his people from the British regime and tried to unite the Hindus and Muslims from splitting.
