Mahatma Gandhi played a pivotal role in India's fight for independence from British rule. He led various nonviolent movements and campaigns to protest against British colonial rule and promote the principles of civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance. Gandhi's philosophy of Satyagraha (truth-force) inspired millions of people to join the freedom struggle and played a crucial role in India's attainment of independence on August 15, 1947. His principles of peace, unity, and equality also became the foundation of modern India's democratic values and continue to influence social and political movements worldwide.
