Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, into a family that valued simplicity and morality. His father, Karamchand Gandhi, was a political figure, while his mother, Putlibai, instilled in him the importance of non-violence and self-discipline. Growing up, Gandhi was greatly influenced by the values of truth and non-violence, which would later define his leadership. His childhood experiences and education in both India and England shaped his beliefs about social justice and equality.
A key event that defined his journey as a leader was his experience in South Africa, where he fought against racial discrimination. This led him to adopt the philosophy of Satyagraha—non-violent resistance. Gandhi’s self-development as a leader blossomed from these experiences, enabling him to lead India’s fight for independence against British rule. His unwavering commitment to non-violence, justice, and equality made him an icon of peaceful protest worldwide.

His father, Martin Luther King Sr., was a prominent pastor and civil rights leader, while his mother, Alberta Williams King, was a dedicated educator. King's childhood was shaped by the systemic racism of the American South, which fueled his determination to fight for civil rights and equality for all people. Growing up in a Christian household, King embraced the principles of love, justice, and non-violence.
Major events in King's life, particularly his leadership in the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the march from Selma to Montgomery, marked him as a prominent leader in the American Civil Rights Movement. King’s philosophy of non-violence, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, guided his efforts in fighting racial injustice. His development as a leader culminated in his role in bringing national and international attention to the struggles of African Americans. Through his powerful speeches and actions, King became a beacon of hope and a champion for equality and justice.
