The man who led India to freedom was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He is famous as Mahatma Gandhi or Bapu. We call him the father of the nation.

He was born on 2nd October, 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat. His father was Karamchand Gandhi. He was the chief minister of the Porbandar State. His mother Putlibai, was a religious woman. Gandhiji studied law in London and became a barrister. He went to South Africa to appear in a case as a lawyer. There he saw that the Indians were badly treated. Gandhiji was a man of courage and determination. He fought for their cause for more than 20 years.

Back in India, Gandhiji saw that the British were exploiting the people and resources of India. He joined the battle for freedom against the British Empire. He fought for the cause of the weak and oppressed. He developed the concept of satyagraha based on truth and non violence. He was jailed many times. He became a great leader of the Indian National Congress. He started the quit India Movement in 1942. At last he gained his goal. India became free on August 15, 1947. This event paved the way for freedom of all colonies in the world.

Gandhi led a simple life. He wore only khadi clothes. He urged the people to use the charkha to make a little cloth every day. Gandhiji was shot dead when he was on way to a prayer meeting on the 30th January; 1948. His death was mourned all over the world.

Gandhiji was a great saint. He led India to freedom. The people of India loved him and called him 'Bapu'. He is indeed the Father of the Nation.
