A popular figure in India and across the globe, Mahatma Gandhi inspired millions with his views on nonviolent protests. It brought about substantial positive changes to the world he saw around him. To this day, he is revered for this way of life.
In a way, his memory has been immortalized in Singapore with the setting of the foundation stone at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial at Race Course Road in 1950. The stone was, quite appropriately, place by the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru. This occasion took place just two years after Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in New Dehli.
