Mahatma Gandhi is revered in India as the father of the country. He is remembered most for his nonviolent means of working for social justice, his acceptance of all faiths, and his ability to bring conflicting groups together. The model of satyagraha has inspired civil rights leaders, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., in many nations. Today Gandhi is one of the most universally known and revered figures in the world. In January 1997, nearly 50 years after his assassination, the ashes of Gandhi were spread in the Ganges River during a ceremony honoring his memory in Allahabad, India. The great-grandson of Gandhi, Tushar Gandhi, performed the act of dispersing the remains as thousands of onlookers chanted slogans in remembrance of the man who had succeeded, however briefly, in unifying a nation historically divided along religious and ethnic lines.

Dec 1, 1999 · by Øyvind Tønnesson, Nobelprize.org Peace Editor, 1998-2000. Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) has become the strongest symbol of non-violence in the 20th century.
