I am Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi. I helped lead India to independence, but I wasn't alive when India was declared independent. I strongly believe that nonviolence is the way to solve problems. I tried to show others that fighting is not the only solution in disagreements. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela used some of my methods to gain independence for African Americans.
I was born in 1869 during the caste system. The caste system is a system that separates Indians into groups. The groups from highest to lowest are the Brahmans, the Kshatriyas, the Sudras,the Vaishyas, and the outcastes, or untouchables. The British came up with the idea while they ruled India.
I lived in a small house with my mom and dad, brothers and sisters, my father's brothers, and their families! I went to school to become a lawyer. Being a lawyer helped me to understand the ways of government and laws.
