Gandhi Jayanti

Celebration of Gandhi’s 140th Birthday and a national holiday in India today since he is often credited as being the major force behind the Independence of India.

From a radio announcement by the then Prime Minister upon his death in 1948:

“The moral influence of his personality and of his gospel and technique of non-violence cannot be weighted in any material scale. Nor is it’s value limited to any particular country or generation. It is his imperishable gift to humanity.”
