Gandhi was more widely known as Mahatma Gandhi, the man who led India to independence in 1947. Gandhi is typically remembered as he was in his later years, in sandals and dhoti leading protests and engaging in hunger strikes as he took on the British Empire. As with all great lives, Gandhi\u2019s is a study in contrasts, and any study of his life, and his success as a leader of India, must include an understanding of his formative years as a boy in India, as a law student in London, and as a lawyer in South Africa. It is through this analysis that we can see how he became so instrumental to both Indian independence and our own Civil Rights movement.<\/p>\n<p>For further reading on Gandhi, see <a href=\"https:\/\/fredericksburg.com\/opinion\/great-lives-gandhis-influence-on-the-american-civil-rights-movement\/article_42e1d89e-f18b-5721-93b0-d67efc918746.html\"><em>an op-ed by Anand Rao<\/em><\/a>, published in the Free Lance-Star.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Anand Rao<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Anand-Rao-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Anand-Rao-150x150.png 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Anand-Rao-50x50.png 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Anand-Rao-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Anand Rao is professor of communication and Chair of the Department of Communication and Digital Studies at the University of Mary Washington.
