Grandin temple biography of mahatma gandhi

On January 21, 2017, the Women's March on Washington became the largest human rights protest in U.S.

history, with an estimated 3.3 million demonstrators (and counting) in over 500 cities — with not a single arrest or act of violence recorded. The march was rooted in the nonviolent civil disobedience philosophies of Martin Luther King Jr.

and Mahatma Gandhi.

Gandhi forged India's independence from British rule in 1947 by staging massive peaceful demonstrations against poverty and the fight for women's rights and religious tolerance. Despite his death, Gandhi has become immortalized in our psyche as a hero of human rights and synonymous with the act of peaceful protest.

He continues to inspire nonviolent human rights movements all around the world and has influenced the leadership of contemporary heavyweights like Nelson Mandela, Cesar Chavez, the Dalai Lama, and Aung San Suu Kyi.
