Freedom Movement of India and Gandhi

When he returned to India in the first decade of twentieth century, the movement of freedom of India was in the hands of the leaders like Gopal Krishna Gokhle and Pandit Motilal Nehru. Most of the leaders were of very senior in age. He met all the great leaders of the time and took their guidance. Within no time, M. K. Gandhi became a popular leader in India.

He was man of the masses; he was a saintly being. So was his charisma, such was his personality that the greatest warriors of the world felt powerless before his subtle smile of love and affection for the human race.

He fought against the rules and regulations of British Raj, but he never professed hatred against the British people ruling over India. His approach was very human. He believed that "One should not lose faith in humanity. The humanity is like a big ocean. Some of the drops in an ocean might be dirty, but that does not make the whole ocean dirty."

Mahatma Gandhi is rightly known as father of the nation of India.
