gandhiji was 'jain' by religion.the principles of jainism are non violence and non aggression against any being of the planet ..even to microbes and harmful diseases.

check wikipedia for more on jainism.

these principles were put into action by gandhiji and were renamed as satyagraha ..meaning protest without violence ..expecting the tormentor to stop because his own conscience will stop him from doing anymore harm.
