Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Gujarati: મોહનદાસ કરમચંદ ગાંધી, Template:Lang-hi, mohandās karamcand gāndhī, IPA: [moːhənˈdaːs kərəmˈtʃənd ˈɡaːndʱiː]) (October 2 1869 – January 30, 1948) was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha — the resistance of tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total non-violence — which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known in India and across the world as Mahatma Gandhi (Sanskrit: महात्मा mahātmā — "Great Soul") and as Bapu (Gujarati: બાપુ bāpu — "Father"). In India, he is recognized as the Father of the Nation and October 2, his birthday, is commemorated each year as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday.

There are numerous artistic representations of Gandhi. He has appeared in a number of films such as Gandhi (1982), The Making of the Mahatma (1996), Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006) and Gandhi, My Father (2007). He has also appeared on postage stamps.
