Happy Independence Day India Bharat – Photos That Show Why Mahatama Gandhi Was Called The Great Soul
He was born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, in an India that was still under British colonial rule. During a life dedicated to the non-violent pursuit of freedom, he became known as Mahatma, meaning Great Soul.
When Gandhi was killed, nearly 7 decades before on Thursday, India had just won its independence and Gandhi had become a civil rights icon. Gandhi’s assassin was a Hindu nationalist who was angered by Mahatma’s vision of an open, pluralistic country.
On India’s Independence Day August 15 we present few photos that illustrate the poise, humility and noble defiance that made Gandhi an icon around the globe.

The Dandi March, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, began on 12 March 1930 and was an important part of the Indian independence movement. It was a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly in colonial India, and triggered the wider Civil Disobedience Movement. This was the most significant organised challenge to British authority since the Non-cooperation movement of 1920–22, and directly followed the Purna Swaraj declaration of independence by the Indian National Congress on 26 January 1930.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi led the Dandi march from his base, Sabarmati Ashram near Ahmedabad, to the coastal village of Dandi, located at a small town called Navsari, in the state of Gujarat. As he continued on this 24-day, 240-mile march to Dandi to produce salt without paying the tax, growing numbers of Indians joined him along the way. When Gandhi broke the salt laws at 6:30 am on 6 April 1930, it sparked large scale acts of civil disobedience against the British Raj salt laws by millions of Indians.
