Gandhi remains highly significant for the symbol of peace and because of the powerful force against oppression. . Gandhi said: 'YOU have the power to create the world you want.' Gandhi did not say, 'I will be the change'; he said YOU be the change you want to see in the world. Gandhi left the satyagraha which mean the pursuit of truth. Gandhi strongly influenced the thinking behind the non-violent struggle of the American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King. Nelson Mandela has also credited Gandhi's legacy with inspiring him during the great man's own long fight against the 'apartheid regime' in South Africa. Gandhi's death was dramatic, on the 30th January 1948 the man whom the Indian poet Tagore had named Mahatma was killed by shots from a pistol. His whole life he had preached a policy of non-violence.
