Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian lawyer, politician, social activist, and writer, led Indians in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 250-mile Dandi Salt March in 1930. He also called for the British to Quit India in 1942. As a leader of the nationalist movement against British rule in India, Gandhi spent many years imprisoned on several occasions, first in South Africa and then in India. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore traditional Indian clothing, made from yarn spun by hand on a charkha. His diet consisted of simple vegetarian food, and he often undertook long fasts for both personal and political reasons. Gandhi's vision of an independent India based on religious pluralism was challenged by Muslim nationalists demanding a separate homeland. After the British granted independence to India in August 1947, partitioning the country into two dominions - Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan - Gandhi visited areas affected by violence, providing solace to those displaced. He undertook several fasts unto death to stop the religious conflict, including one on January 12, 1948. However, his efforts were ultimately in vain as he was assassinated three weeks later by Hindu nationalist Nathuram Godse. Gandhi's birthday is celebrated in India and around the world as a symbol of non-violence. In India, October 2 is commemorated as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, while internationally it is observed as the International Day of Nonviolence. He is widely regarded as the Father of the Nation in India and affectionately referred to as Bapu. A bronze sculpture of Mahatma Gandhi was discovered near Mapusa town in Goa, India. It was 3D-scanned using a DSLR camera, processed with Reality Capture software, and modeled in ZBrush.
