Not every fight is won with strength and guns, some are won with the heart, mind, and will of the fighters. One of these is a fight for independence in India and under the leadership of a Mahatma, the thinly built man wearing a dhoti and a shawl known as Mahatma Gandhi. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2nd of the October 1869 in Porbander, Gujarat.

His dream of non-discriminant India to protect the interest of different caste, religion, color, to have unity between the people and equality in their views.

For the past 5 years, 2nd October is also recognized as the day marked for the start of the execution of this mission.
