“I know, to banish anger altogether from one's breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God's grace.”

Indian political leader and activist of the early-to-mid 20th century, Gandhi is best known for leading India’s nonviolent struggle against British colonial rule through civil disobedience and moral persuasion. His philosophy of *satyagraha*—firmness rooted in truth—shaped global movements for justice and self-determination.
