The nation today remembered Mahatma Gandhi on his 148th birth anniversary, with President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders paying floral tributes to him at his memorial in New Delhi. Every year, the nation pays homage to Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who was fondly called Bapu, on his birth anniversary on October 2, which is also known as Gandhi Jayanti. Born in 1869 in Gujarat's Porbandar, Mahatma Gandhi had his early political training in South Africa while working among the local Indian community facing discrimination. October 2 is also the birth anniversary of Lal Bahadur Shastri, the second prime minister of the country.
