Gandhi Jayanti / International day of non-violence

When: October 2, 2015

It is also the day now commemorated by the United Nations as the International Day of Non-Violence. Mahatma Gandhi went to England at the age of 18 to study law then travelled to South Africa to help the rights of Indians there. He returned to India in 1915. Gandhi became known as the ‘Father of the Nation' and was the leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Government organisations, educational institutions follow awareness programmes on Gandhiji's preachings to mark his birthday.
