On the 138th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi Mapsofindia.com in association with Gandhi Smriti, payed tribute to the man who moved the world with his ingenuity. Gandhiji was a man of action who received the devotion of his countrymen and the respect of his most aggressive adversaries. He earned a formidable place in the humanity for his conviction of right and truth. Undoubtedly, his 'life' was a 'message' to mankind.
In recognition of Gandhiji's role in promoting the message of peace around the world United Nations General Assembly has declared 2 October as 'International Day of Non-Violence'. As a part of our initiative in promoting and celebrating the spirit of India and its people we organized an online quiz series on Gandhiji from 26 September to 2 October 2007.
