When is International Day of Non-Violence, recognized by the UN, observed on M. K. Gandhi’s birthday?

11-Dec
29-Nov
02-Oct
2nd Wednesday of October

The correct answer is C. 2 October.

The United Nations General Assembly declared 2 October as the International Day of Non-Violence in 2007, in recognition of the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the Indian independence movement who employed nonviolent civil disobedience to lead India to independence from British rule.

The day is an opportunity to promote the culture of peace, non-violence, tolerance, understanding and dialogue among all nations and peoples. It is also a day to remember the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi, who is considered the father of modern India.

Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat, India. He studied law in London and then returned to India to practice law. However, he soon became involved in the Indian independence movement. He led a number of nonviolent protests against British rule, including the Salt March of 1930.

Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948. He is remembered as a great leader who fought for peace and justice. His legacy continues to inspire people around the world.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the birth date of Mahatma Gandhi.
