In India, a holiday called Gandhi Jayanti is observed to commemorate Mahatma Gandhi’s birth. One of India’s three national holidays, it is observed on the second of October each year. As he was a nonviolent freedom fighter, the UN General Assembly announced on June 15, 2007, that it had passed a resolution designating October 2 as the International Day of Non-Violence. Subhas Chandra Bose bestowed upon him the title of “Father of the Nation” in recognition of his tenacious fight for independence.
