Mahatma Gandhi (lawyer)

Mahatma Gandhi, originally trained as a lawyer, played a crucial role in India's struggle for independence from British rule. After studying law in London, he worked in South Africa, where he developed his philosophy of nonviolent protest, or "Satyagraha." This approach emphasized civil disobedience and peaceful resistance against injustice. Gandhi returned to India, where he led numerous campaigns for civil rights, social reforms, and ultimately independence, becoming a symbol of peace and resilience. His methods influenced civil rights movements worldwide and remain relevant in discussions about justice and nonviolent protest today.
