Mohandas Gandhi, known as 'Mahatma', 1869-1948.Mohandas Gandhi when young Indian nationalist and spiritual leader who developed the practice of nonviolent disobedience.

Mahatma Gandhi, was educated in law at University College, London. In 1891, after havingMohandas Gandhi when old been admitted to the British bar, Gandhi returned to India and attempted to establish a law practice in Bombay (now Mumbai), with little success. Two years later an Indian firm with interests in South Africa retained him as legal adviser in its office in Durban.Mohandas Gandhi teaching Arriving in Durban, Gandhi found himself treated as a member of an inferior race. He was appalled at the widespread denial of civil liberties and political rights to Indian immigrants to South Africa. He threw himself into the struggle for elementary rights for Indians.

Gandhi remained in South Africa for 20 years, suffering imprisonment many times. In 1896, after being attacked and beaten by white South Africans, Gandhi began to teach a policy of passive resistance to and noncooperation with the South African authorities. Part of the inspiration for this policy came from the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, whose influence on Gandhi was profound. Gandhi also acknowledged his debt to the teachings of Christ and to the 19th-century American writer Henry David Thoreau, especially to Thoreau's famous essay.Civil Disobedience..Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.

gluon.noun
elementary particles thought to bind quarks together. A gluon is the gauge boson of the Strong Interaction. Gluons exert an astounding strong force binding quarks, a force that resists diminishing when quarks are pulled apart; and, unusually, the farther the quarks are separated, the greater is the energy that builds between them and the more unavailing are efforts to disunite them; this is the antithesis to what occurs when the electromagnetic force binds electrons to the nucleus by using its photon energy vehicles

gravity.noun
gravity is not really a force but a name we give to an occurrence due to pressure of the mysterious dark matter-mass, with perhaps also photons and neutrinos playing a part; it's not possible to tell if you are being pulled downward by gravity or accelerating  upward; gravity and acceleration are equal

Can the result of resistance to movement (movement of the photons, neutrinos, etc., the dark matter being the inert carrier) by mass (mass held in place by dark matter), be really called gravity?

Gravity is one of the four fundamental 'forces' necessary for all existence thoroughout the Universe; the others being electromagmetism, the strong interaction (or, the strong force), and the weak interaction (or, the weak force).

Gravity is the phenomenon that causes an attractive force between any two bodies that have mass.
