In our childhood, we have always wondered who is this guy whose face you see on every rupee note?

He is the one whom we were exposed to very early in our lives as we had to see him everyday either in the currencies or in the notebooks.

Although on posts like this one, we strive to give you people every bit of information we can provide but it is not something that we are going to do today as Gandhi Ji or ‘Bapu’ is the one who is known by all in our country and not just in our country but in every country of the world.

Due to this reason, we will remain a little away from providing you with the information that you already know about like his full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, he was born in Porbandar, Gujarat, etc.

Instead will present you with information about him that hardly many people are informed about. Ready? Let’s go.

Amazing Facts About Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

1) The day of Gandhi Jayanti is highly popular in nearly every developing country in the world.

The only difference is we celebrate the day of 2nd October as Gandhi Jayanti and the rest of the world celebrates it as the ‘Non-violence day’.

2) Gandhi ji is called the father of the nation. There's a great story behind why he has that name, and it's filled with great emotions.

Time prior to 1947, it was a time when so many people had tried their best to make India independent by freeing it from the british rule but their efforts led to little to no results and a large portion of the British India community during that time bend their feet in front of the british empire.

There was no hope among Indian people that they will get freedom from British rule.

At that time, Gandhi Ji emerged as the non-violent leader and told the people that they could hope for the sunshine tomorrow as that is definitely going to happen.

Many people saw the confidence in him and joined him in his non-violent freedom fight against the britishers.

Just like a ‘Bapu’ or a Father, Mahatma Gandhi never gave an upvote to discrimination and treated everyone equally and showed everyone the right path and that is how he got the name ‘Bapu’.

3) We have got hundreds and thousands of buildings, roads, cities, bridges, airports named after him. Not only in India, this is even truer in foreign countries.

Mahatma Gandhi’s sculpture in Parliament Square, Westminster London is one of the most popular sculptures in the world.
