Overview

The world over, the frail leader who propagated the path of non-violence in the struggle for freedom from British rule, is a living testament of how not war but peace can achieve the impossible. Revered for his staunch belief in the tenets of democracy Gandhi stands tall in terms of what he stood for in today’s troubled world. Gandhi is as relevant today as he was when India was struggling to achieve independence in the 19th century.

On this beautifully crafted story of Gandhi we will learn how he preached non-violence until his dying day and freed India from British with peaceful resistance. It was truly a sad day, that Gandhi, who championed the philosophy of non-violence, had to die at the hands of an assassin in the serene environs of Birla House in Delhi.
