Ghandi was a human rights pioneer - who first cahmpioned for minority rights in South Africa - and later helped acheive independence for India.
The term 'mahatma' is actually a title - it means 'great soul' in Hindi..Ghandi's full name was: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
His greatest legacy would have to be non-violent resistance - as he preached change through peace as opposed to violence (although he was ultimately a victim of violence many times - and ultimately assassinated)
truly one of the greatest humans ever

Everyone should know this. I recommend that you go to the library and read a book about his life, rather than asking for a few sound bites here.

There is a wonderful film about this amazing man starring Ben Kingsley. You could probably rent it at your local video store. It is called simply "Ghandi".....
