Mahatma Gandhi led India's movement for independence from British rule and is one of the most respected spiritual and political leaders of the 20th century. In 1948 he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic who opposed his tolerance for all creeds and religions. Gandhi is honoured by his people as the father of the Indian nation and is called 'Mahatma', which means Great Soul.

Those are great quotes and never more true. Another thing I learned from the article is the meaning of Mathatma. All this time I just thought it was a brand of rice. Very cool Clip.

'Mahatma', which means Great Soul.
