We are celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi this month, popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi. Born on October 2, 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat, he was a lawyer, freedom fighter, social activist and a prolific writer on contemporary issues. I had heard the name ‘Gandhi’ in my childhood, at my home district, where he had started his Champaran movement in 1917.
