UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also remembered Mahatma Gandhi on the occasion of his birth anniversary.
"On International Day of Non-Violence, we celebrate Mahatma Gandhi's birthday & values of peace, respect & the essential dignity shared by everyone. We can defeat today's challenges by embracing these values & working across cultures," tweeted Antonio Guterres.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a boy born in Porbandar, in modern day Gujarat, on October 2, 1869, lived a life by the end of which, not only did he came to be called 'Mahatma' or Great-soul, but also the 'Father of the Nation' to the newly independent India.
His life, in how he lived it and what he achieved in it, saw him become one of the most famous and important figures not only for those in his own country but around the world. His fight for India's independence made him become a universal symbol for peace and non-violent protests.
