Washington DC - Mahatma Gandhi Memorial statute photo

Leading India’s struggle for freedom from British rule by stressing non-violent non-cooperative resistance and mass civil disobedience, the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial pays honor to the political and spiritual leader of the Indian independence movement.

The statute sits in a park between Q St. and Massachusetts Ave. NW and 21st and 22nd Streets NW, across the street from the Embassy of Indian.

The term Mahatma means “Great Soul”.

    this is a really good choice of picture becuase it shows that gandhi was so special to indians that a statue was erected for him
