Martin Luther King, Jr (1929 –1968) was an American pastor, social activist, and leader of the African American civil rights movement. Mahatma Ghandi (1869-1948) was an ethical and political leader in India during India’s bid for independence from Great Britain. Both men advocated non-violent, mass civil disobedience as the weapon of choice to bring about social change. Both men achieved notable success, and both men were assassinated.

Ghandi and Non-Violence

According to BBC Religion, Gandhi was educated as a lawyer and first used civil disobedience in the Indian community’s struggle for civil rights while living in South Africa (BBC Religion, Mohandus "Mahatma" Ghandi, August 25, 2009). When he returned to India in 1915, he organized protests among the common people against excessive taxes and racial discrimination. As head of the Indian National Congress, he led campaigns to ease poverty, increase rights for women, forge ethnic and religious unity, and end the practice of untouchability (the rigid and permanent status of the lowest class).
