Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi is known for his non-violent form of protesting when he fought for India's independence in the 20th century. India gained its independence in 1947. India remained a Hindu country, while Muslims got their own country, Pakistan.

Gandhi's life came to an end in 1948, when he was on his way to his evening prayer meeting. He was shot by a Hindu radical, named Nathuram Godse. Godse meant that Gandhi was responsible for weakening India. He and his partner, Narayan Apte, got convicted later, and executed in 1949.
