Mahatma Gandhi's parenting style profoundly influenced his philosophy of nonviolence. Raised in a deeply religious household, his mother instilled values of compassion and tolerance. Gandhi’s experiences with injustices during his time in South Africa strengthened his commitment to peaceful protest. These formative years emphasized the importance of love, understanding, and moral integrity in dealing with conflict. His nonviolent approach to India's independence movement not only defined his legacy but also inspired global leaders advocating for peace and justice.
