Today, the birth of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is celebrated all across India and is also a national holiday there. Gandhi is known as the father of India, who with his non-violence and civil disobedience movement led Indians to an independence from British rule. He has affected millions and still does today with his philosophies and principles around the world.
I studied in a high school named after this man, “Mahatma Gandhi Memorial High School” where I learnt few principles that has stuck with my ever since. One of which is “satyameva jayate” (Truth alone triumphs). I just want to thank God, life, fate, or karma, or whatever it is that is guiding and shaping our destinies for bringing about such a man into this world and also for providing me the opportunity to learn about him and instill few of the principles in me that otherwise I would not have known.
