True.

Explanation:

Mahatma Gandhi played the pivotal role in Indian national movement. His struggle started in South Africa when he faced racial discrimination because of his color of skin and was thrown out of train despite having the first class ticket and for the first time he launched Satyagraha (non-violent protest) against the policies of colonial government in South Africa.

After his success in South Africa in 1915 he returned to India and participated in freedom struggle of India. In India his first major achievement was during Champaran Satyagraha in 1917 where he fought for rights of peasants through non-violent means. Later his role in Kheda and Ahmedabad Satyagraha established his as the great leader in the India's freedom struggle. He devoted his whole life to discovering and pursuing truth. He was great social reformer and this is evident from his work for the untouchables and against caste discrimination. As a political philosopher he supported a religiously diverse India and was against the two nation philosophy which ultimately led to the partition of India in two parts. As an economist he believed in the principle of Sarvodaya economic model which means welfare of all. That's why he was the "yugapurusha" (one who inaugurated new era) and his contribution to Indian freedom struggle was unparalleled.
