      Mahatma Gandhi

      Follow Following
      -  Followers

      Mahatma Gandhi, born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, was a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule. He is widely regarded as the "Father of the Nation" in India for his role in leading the country to independence through nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience.

      Gandhi's philosophy of Satyagraha (truth and nonviolence) became a powerful tool in mobilizing millions of Indians in their struggle for freedom. He led numerous campaigns, including the Salt March in 1930, against oppressive British laws and economic policies. His methods of peaceful protest influenced movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

      Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals of nonviolence, simplicity, and social equality also extended to his fight against untouchability and his efforts to promote communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims. His assassination on January 30, 1948, by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist, marked a tragic end to the life of one of the most iconic figures in world history.

      Gandhi's legacy lives on through his teachings, which continue to inspire movements for justice, peace, and human rights worldwide.

      In June 2018, BOOM investigated a viral letter attributed to Mahatma Gandhi's great-grandson, claiming that 'Rahul Gandhi is not a Hindu.'

      BOOM found that the letter circulating on social media was false and fabricated, with no truth to the claim that it was written by Mahatma Gandhi's great-grandson.

      In July 2024, BOOM investigated misleading claims suggesting that Mahatma Gandhi personally received a financial allowance while in prison during British rule.

      BOOM clarified that Gandhi did not receive this allowance for personal use; rather, it was provided to the prison administration for his maintenance. The viral claims were found to be false and misleading."
