Mahatma Gandhi Mohandas Karamchand gandhi is known for his immense contribution to the Indian nationalist movement. He led India in its quest for independence through his policies of satyagraha, non-violence-methods of protest that use passive resistance-which he had successfully used in South Africa. In South Africa, Gandhiji fought against the oppressive treatment meted out by the white people towards native Africans, Indians, and other non-white communities. After spending many years in South Africa, Gandhiji returned to India in 1915. He spent his initial days exploring India and witnessing the miserable condition of his fellow countrymen. Gandhiji found the Indian society plagued with many social evils, such as the caste system, untouchability, and many others. He soon realized that only a unified India could stand against the British goverment and win independence.
