Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of ''Satyagraha'' — the resistance of alleged tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ''ahimsa'' or total non-violence — which inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known in India and across the world with the honorific ''Mahatma Gandhi'' (Sanskrit: महात्मा ''mahātmā'' — "Great Soul") and as ''Bapu'' (Gujarati: બાપુ ''bāpu'' — "Father"). In India, he is recognised as the ''Father of the Nation'' by the political class and 2 October, his birthday, is commemorated each year on ''Gandhi Jayanti'', a national holiday and dry day. == Currency and stamps==
In 1996, the Government of India introduced the Mahatma Gandhi series of currency notes in rupees 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 denomination. Today, all the currency notes in circulation in India contain a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi. In 1969, the United Kingdom issued a series of stamps commemorating the centenary of Mahatma Gandhi. There have been approximately 250 stamps issued bearing Gandhi's image from 80 different countries worldwide.〔(The Most Visible Indian in the World of Stamps )〕
