This is the man who defeated the most powerful empire in history, all through the power of non-violence and non-cooperation, freeing India from 200 years of British rule and oppression.

Today is the 138th birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. In addition to being one of India’s 3 national holidays the UN has declared October 2nd to be International Day of Non-Violence.
