Explanation

'Man is born free, but he is found in chains everywhere' is a famous quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau's 'The Social Contract' (1762), not Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi's philosophy emphasized truth, nonviolence, and spiritual politics, but this specific statement about freedom and chains is distinctly Rousseau's Enlightenment philosophy.
