The Indian peace leader Gandhi said that “there is no way to peace: peace is the way”. This is the anniversary of Gandhi’s death. This leader fought for the rights of the Indian people by methods of peaceful resistance and by promoting non-violence. On 30 January 1948 he was assassinated by a young radical.
