A new statue of Mahatma Gandhi was unveiled on 14th March 2015 in London’s Parliament Square to mark the 100th anniversary of his return to India to start the struggle for independence from British rule. The sculpture, created by Philip Jackson, was inspired by a 1931 photo of Gandhi at No. 10 Downing Street, where he met the then prime minister Ramsay MacDonald.

i think every conscious person, every person that is awake to the functioning principles within his reality, has a moment where he stops blaming the problems in the world on group think, on humanity and authority, and starts to face himself. i hate this more than anything. ... the problem is not out there; the problem is the needy beast of a thing that lives in my chest.

The statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Parliament Square, Westminster, London, is a work by the sculptor Philip Jackson.
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.
The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.
It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.
Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.

Mahatma Gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi October 2, 1869 – January 30, 1948) was a prominent political leader of India and its struggle for independence from the British Empire. He was the pioneer and perfector of Satyagraha - the resistance of tyranny through mass civil disobedience strongly founded upon ahimsa (total non-violence) — which led India to independence, and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known and addressed in India and across the world as Mahatma Gandhi (from Sanskrit, Mahatma: Great Soul) and as Bapu (in many Indian languages, Father).
Gandhi employed the technique in organizing poor farmers in India to protest oppressive taxation and extensive discrimination, and carried it forward on the national stage to protest oppressive laws made by a foreign government. Becoming the leader of the Indian National Congress, Gandhi led a nationwide campaign for the alleviation of the poor, liberation of Indian women, for brotherhood amongst communities of differing religions and ethnicity, and for an end to untouchability and caste discrimination, but above all for Swaraj — the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led Indians in the disobedience of the salt tax through the 400 kilometre (248 miles) Dandi Salt March in 1931, and in an open call for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years on numerous occasions in South Africa and India.
Throughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in the most extreme situations. Gandhi was a student of Hindu philosophy and lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs. He made his own clothes - the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with a charkha and lived on a simple vegetarian diet. He used rigorous fasts - abstaining from food and water for long periods - for self-purification as well as a means for protest. Gandhi's life and teachings inspired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Biko and Aung San Suu Kyi and respectively the American civil rights movement and the freedom struggles in South Africa and Myanmar. In India, Gandhi was recognized as the Father of the Nation by Subhas Bose, and later by the whole nation. October 2nd, his birthday is each year commemorated as Gandhi Jayanti, and is a national holiday.

This is a statue of Mahatma Gandhi on the beach of Pondicherry, a city South of Chennai. For historical reasons this city has the status of a Province (State) which is usually many times bigger. Pondicherry, Mahe (on the west coast) Yanem and Karaikkal were distributed over the coast and remained as French colonies when the Indian subcontinent was under British rule. They gained independence only much later and remained under direct Central rule for some time. Now Pondicherry is a province separate from Tamil Nadu. Due to many attractions like Auroville and the heritage of French culture and architecture this city is now a tourist destination.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (pronounced [ˈmoːɦənd̪aːs ˈkərəmtʃənd̪ ˈɡaːnd̪ʱi] ( listen); 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma (Sanskrit: "high-souled," "venerable"[2])—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa,[3]—is now used worldwide. He is also called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for "father,"[4] "papa."[4][5]) in India.
Mahatma Gandhi used to say, the spirit and the soul of India rested in the village communities.

One of his best saying :
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
He is the real hero of indian freedom movement.
I love his Non-violence Principles.
I just want to remind his 10 Principles of NON - VIOLENCE
1. Humiliating or deliberately provoking your opponent invites violence.
2. Knowing your facts and arguments well helps avoid violence.
3. If you are open about your cause your opponent is less likely to be violent.
4. Look for common ground between you and your opponents to promote trust and understanding.
5. Do not judge others.
6. Trust your opponent. They will sense this trust.
7. Compromise on inessential items to promote resolution.
8. Sincerity helps convert your opponent.
9. By making personal sacrifice you show your sincerity.
10. Avoid exploiting weakness in your opponent. Aim for integrity, not simply to win.
