"Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 in India and, with his concept of non-violent resistance, with which he campaigned throughout his life for the rights of the Indian population and the liberation of his people, is one of the most important world changers of all.
His commitment to human rights and his fight against oppression and exploitation is unparalleled and still inspires millions of people today to stand up for the weak and oppressed."
