Mahamtma Gandhi

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

Mahatma Gandhi was a major spiritual and political leader of the Indian Independence Movement. He fought for the Independence of India through the Quit India Movement and was fiercely opposed to the partition of India. This is the story of his life.

Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat in India. In that time, India was under British rule; the country was divided into states who only were allowed autonomy in domestic and internal affairs. As a child he was introduced to the basics of vegetarianism, fasting and mutual tolerance. When he turned 18, Gandhi set sail for England where he attended University College London. He was educated to be a barrister. He tried to adopt English customs but could not get used to the English kitchen. Because of his devoted vegetarianism he met many vegetarians who also had an interest in religion. He had never shown a particular interest in religion before but in England he was introduced to Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.
