There are many important leaders who have made changes in people's life all over the world but in my view the preeminent leader of Indian independence movement in British-ruled India, Mahatma Gandhi, is the most important spiritual guide in contemporary world.
Most of us know him and certainly have heard about his role in the history of India but how much information do we have about his personality? Gandhi not only led India to independence and inspired movements for civil right and freedom but also has several specific characters which make him different from other leaders.
The most important character of him is that he was the first people who propound the principle of non-violence and tried to develop this concept in the world. Truth is another aspect of Gandhi. He devoted his life to the wider purpose of discovering truth and honesty. He tried to achieve this by learning from his own mistakes. The other point that should be mentioned is his popularity among Indian because of his simple life. He strongly believed that a real leader whose goal is helping to the people, should be a modest and humble man.
Because of these and many other factors Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader who could change India to a unified, powerful and effective country in the world.
