The term "Mahatma" was famously attributed to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, often referred to as Bapu or Bapu Ji. "Mahatma" means "great soul" in Sanskrit and was given to Gandhi by the people of India as a sign of respect for his leadership in the struggle for independence from British rule. The title reflects his philosophy of non-violence and his significant impact on the Indian independence movement.
