Gandhi's triumph of non-violence changed the world

Mahathma Gandhi was the pioneer of a civil disobedience movement that brought the British empire down to its knees and gained independence for India.

This was a defining moment in the history of the 20th century that inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.
