1869 CE–1948 CE
Mahatma Gandhi
British Empire · Resistance & colonized agency · Decolonization & independence
Gandhi developed forms of satyagraha in South Africa and turned them into mass campaigns against laws, taxes and British rule in India. Non-cooperation, the Salt March and Quit India mobilized millions, although other movements and leaders disputed his strategy and his positions on caste, gender and race evolved and remain debated. His assassination in 1948 came after the independence and Partition he had failed to prevent
