“Three-fourths of the miseries and misunderstandings in the world will disappear if we step into the shoes of our adversaries and understand their standpoint.”

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.
