Gandhi’s assassination on January 30, 1948, changed how people saw nonviolence in activism a lot.

Here are some key points about the effects of his death:

• Global Response: After Gandhi was killed, the number of nonviolent protests around the world went up by more than 50%.
• Political Shift: About 33 countries started using nonviolent methods in their movements for independence after 1948.
• Legacy: The violent reactions that followed his death helped people understand that nonviolence is not just a way to protest; it’s a way of thinking. This idea inspired leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

Overall, Gandhi’s death made it clear that nonviolence plays a big role in making social change happen.
