Mahatma Gandhi - Life, Quotes & Salt March Who Was Mahatma Gandhi? Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of India’s non-violent independence movement against British rule and in South Africa who advocated for the civil rights of Indians. Born in Porbandar, India, Gandhi studied law and organized boycotts against British institutions in peaceful forms of civil disobedience. He was killed by a fanatic in 1948. Early Life and Education Indian nationalist leader Gandhi (born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi) was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Kathiawar, India, which was then part of the British Empire. Gandhi’s father, Karamchand Gandhi, served as a chief minister in Porbandar and other states in western India. Young Gandhi was a shy, unremarkable student who was so timid that he slept with the lights on even as a teenager. Although Gandhi was interested in becoming a doctor, his father hoped he would also become a government minister and steered him to enter the legal profession.
