"Non-violence ... is the only thing that the atom bomb cannot destroy. I did not move a muscle when I first heard that the atom bomb had wiped out Hiroshima. On the contrary, I said to myself, Unless now the world adopts non-violence, it will spell certain suicide for mankind."
Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist who led the movement for Indian independence through nonviolent resistance. His strategy of satyagraha influenced civil rights and freedom movements worldwide.
