Gandhi studied law at the University of Bombay for one year, then at the University College London.

He spoke at the conventions of the Indian National Congress, becoming one of its leaders.

 He walked on foot to the ocean in protest against the British salt monopoly and salt tax. He led thousands of Indians on a 240 mile (400 km) march from Ashram Ahmedabad to the village of Dandi on the ocean to make their own salt.

Gandhi campaigned to improve the lives of the untouchables.
Gandhi was shot three times in the chest and died while on his way to a prayer meeting, on January 30, 1948. The ashes of Mahatma Gandhi were split in portions and sent to all states of India to be scattered in rivers. Part of Gandhi's ashes rest in Raj Ghat, near Delhi, India. Part of Mahatma Gandhi's ashes are at the Lake Shrine in Los Angeles.

After his assassination Albert Einstein said: "Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth!".
