Gandhi was a student of Hindu philosophy and was a British-educated lawyer. He was born into the business caste and his father held a position of some power and wealth. According to him, He tried to incorporate the teachings of "shrimat bhagvat gita" in his life. He was inspired by Lokmanya Bal Ganga Dhar Tilak, Naroaji, Leo Tolstoy and Romain Rolland for the attainment of fredom. His philosophy was nonviolence.
