Two individuals that can be considered heroes of modern history are Mohandas Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.

Explanation:

-Mohandas Gandhi was the leader of the Indian independence movement. He is known as a strong activist of non-violent resistance.

Gandhi grew up in a Hindu family in India and studied law in London. He began his social work in South Africa, where he worked as a lawyer for 17 years. His resistance to civil disobedience brought an end to discrimination against the country's Indians. Gandhi returned to India in 1915 and fought to secure India's independence from the British Empire. Gandhi used non-violent means, such as speeches, books and articles, as well as fasting, strikes and marches, to pursue his goals. He was repeatedly captured by the British. Much to Gandhi, India became independent in 1947.

Gandhi's life and teachings have inspired many civic activists. In India, Gandhi is commonly known as the "father of the nation" and his birthday is a national holiday.

-Nelson Mandela was South Africa's first black president (1994–1999), and the country's first president elected in free elections among all its citizens. Before becoming president, he had been one of the leading anti-apartheid activists in the country for a number of years, and had been jailed for 27 years, much of the time on Robben Island.

Both nationally and internationally, Mandela became a clear and unifying symbol of freedom and equality, while the apartheid regime and its supporters sought to portray both Mandela and the ANC party as communists and terrorists.

When he was released from captivity in 1990, he went on the brink of a policy of reconciliation and cooperation, which helped to lead the country into a multi-ethnic democracy. For this work he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, together with South Africa's then-President Frederik Willem de Klerk.
