Often referred to as India’s “father of the nation”, Gandhi is famous for his activism to lead India to independence from the British, marked by nonviolent civil disobedience.
The political and spiritual leader went on 17 hunger strikes during his long campaign for freedom, the longest lasting 21 days.
But less than a year after he was finally able to celebrate independence from Britain in 1947, Gandhi was assassinated.

Elsewhere, the Danish royal family shared stunning portraits of Princess Mary earlier this month to celebrate her birthday.
And she wasn’t the only birthday in the royal household, as her twins, Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent, also turned 12 in January.
The Danish royal family previously shared individual photos of the brothers together for their birthday, but the house decided to break with tradition this year.
Instead of holding a photo shoot for the occasion, the proud parents posted their children’s school photos, taken by photographer Jens Rosenfeldt.
