Gandhi played a very important role in India's struggle for freedom.

He’s one of the most instantly recognizable figures of the 20th century – Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known to many as Mahatma Gandhi or Great Soul.

It is a day of celebration. It is a day to value a special person, the person who is the ‘hero’ of our nation, who taught the world the lesson of non-violence. It is Mahatma Gandhi ‘the father of the Nation.’

- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

- Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.
