Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as "Mahatma," was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic 70 years ago, on 30th January 1948. Today, Gandhi is considered the embodiment of non violent resistance. His great words have also taken hold in the Western World: "Ahimsa"- non violence, "Satygraha" - insistence on truth, "Swaraj" - self governance. His concept of renunciation of violence and loving one’s enemies therefore also had a strong influence on Christians, for instance the American Civil Rights movement and Martin Luther King.
