Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, 1869-1948
A role model for Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi led India to self-rule through non-violent marches and demonstrations. When followers introduced violence on two occasions, Gandhi went on a hunger strike until the violence was stopped. When the British left India, they divided it into two countries: India for the Hindus, Pakistan for the Muslims. This was not acceptable to many of the people, and one man took his anger out by assassinating Gandhi. The parallels between King and Gandhi would make an interesting study.
