Correct Answer: Leo Tolstoy

Solution : The correct option is - Leo Tolstoy

Young barrister Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi encountered blatant racial prejudice as well as numerous other injustices when he first began practicing law in South Africa in the 1890s. At that time, he started to formulate the nonviolent satyagraha ideology that would eventually help him lead India to independence. The ideals and practical example of Russian author Leo Tolstoy, had the most significant impact on Gandhi at that time. Tolstoy had a significant impact on the nonviolent resistance movement by inspiring Mahatma Gandhi with this idea in his book The Kingdom of God Is Within You.
