As far as Gandhi was concerned, he made a social choice to live a simple life. Gandhi was a lawyer and was driven to become a civil rights activist because of the supremacist and oppressive conduct of the British Imperialists. His choice to live a simple life was a part of his strategy of civil disobedience in the terrible struggle for independence from the oppressive colonialists.
Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi, was a political and spiritual leader in India who played a key role in the country's struggle for independence from British rule through nonviolent civil disobedience. He is widely regarded as the Father of the Nation in India for his leadership and principles of truth, nonviolence, and civil rights.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), the greatest Indian person for ever, was the biggest, greatest helper fighting with British people who wanted to rule over India. He was the bravest (from body and from his brain and his heart) person on earth. Rabindranath Tagore, the author of the Indian national anthem, said that Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, was not an ordinary man, he was `mahatma`. These two words, `mah` and `atma` are two Hindi words. `mah` means `great` and `atma` means `soul`. So after that day Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was no longer Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, he was Mahatma (great-soul) Gandhi and that's why everyone all around India as well as all around the world called him `Mahatma Gandhi`. Truly, Mahatma Gandhi was the greatest person on earth, and there never was, never will be another person like Mahatma Gandhi. He is famous around the world for his intelligence, bravery, and compassion.His real name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, but the people called him the Mahatma or Great Soul. He was one of the foremost spiritual and political leaders of the 20th century. He was a civil rights leader in South Africa and in his native India, and a proponent of India's independence from England.(see related question and link)
