MAHATMA[THE GREAT SOUL]
MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi was one of the magnetic leaders who took an active part in the Indian freedom struggle. Born on 2nd October 1869 in Porbandar, he was the youngest son of his parents Putlibai and Karamchand Gandhi.
Gandhi got inspired by the book "Unto this Last" by John Ruskin and as a reaction of this he developed a community which he named as the 'Phoenix Settlement'. He created this settlement amalgamating the ideas he read in "unto the Last" and the Ideologies that inspired him in Bhagvat Gita , wherein the dwellers could eliminate ones needless possessions and create a society in which equality and faith prevailed.
When he returned to India he established Sabarmati ashram that focused on similar principles as the Phoenix settlement but had an added component of liberating India from colonial rule. He also founded “Sevagram” or work village, with an intention to demonstrate how India’s social and democratic problems should be addressed. This ashram was populated majorly with harijan, because he thought in order to start a reform in the society it is best to start from the downtrodden. He applied all his principles of phoenix settlement in Sabarmati Ashram .
He explained the concept of Satyagrah as 'truth force' or 'soul force' rather than the common English term 'Passive Resistance'. He believed that passive resistance was generally referred to as the weapon of the weak while Satyagrah was the true spirit of Indian Resistance. It was focused, forceful, non-violent resistance and explained that the practitioners of Satyagrah or the Satyagrihi's would refuse the injustice by resisting to follow the unjust laws and he would never take an advantage of his opponents problems. In his book "Hind Swaraj Enroute- that is a critique of colonialism and western civilization" he has discussed some of his Ideas in form of answers. He explains that the universe is run by two forces that are the 'soul force' and the 'truth force' which can be described in detail as the force of Love.
Gandhi was shattered to see the huge disagreements between Hindus e s and Muslims at the time of independence. Hindus were in majority and this made the Muslims fear their representation in the politics and these differences were even beyond the power of Mahatma to solve.
To stop this massive Violence he again went on a fast which he said would end only when violence stopped. The respect of both the groups towards Mahatma was very strong hence they came to an agreement of peace.

Transcript Below:
1.) “A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.”
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
2.) “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.”
“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”
3.) “Long speeches, the shaking of fists, the banging of tables and strongly worded resolutions out of touch with the objective conditions do not bring about mass action and can do a great deal of harm to the organization and the struggle we serve.”
“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”
4.) “Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people.”
"Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world."
5.) “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”
“Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.”

Introduction:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar, a coastal town in present-day Gujarat, India. His father, Karamchand Gandhi (1822–1885), who belonged to the Hindu Modh community, was the diwan (Prime Minister) of Porbander state, a small princely state in the Kathiawar Agency of British India.
Social Position:
Gandhi was born into the second highest caste in Hindu society – the Ruler-Warrior Caste.
As a youth (about 15-years-old):
He had his schooling in nearby Rajkot, where his father served as the adviser or prime minister to the local ruler. In May 1883, the 13-year old Mohandas was married to 14-year old Kasturbai Makhanji in an arranged child marriage, as was the custom in the region. In 1885, when Gandhi was 15, the couple's first child was born, but survived only a few days;
Later Teen Years:
On 4 September 1888, less than a month shy of his 19th birthday, Gandhi traveled to London, England, to study law at University College London and to train as a barrister. His time in London, the Imperial capital, was influenced by a vow he had made to his mother in the presence of the Jain monk Becharji, upon leaving India, to observe the Hindu precepts of abstinence from meat, alcohol, and promiscuity.
Gandhi in South Africa: 1893- 1914 :
In South Africa, Gandhi faced discrimination directed at Indians. He was thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg after refusing to move from the first class to a third class coach while holding a valid first class ticket. Traveling farther on by stagecoach he was beaten by a driver for refusing to travel on the foot board to make room for a European passenger. These events were a turning point in his life, awakening him to social injustice and influencing his subsequent social activism.
The South Africa Years :
Gandhi served in and lead an Ambulance Corps Unit in both the Boer War 1899-1892 and the Zulu War of 1906. By supporting the British government, Gandhi hoped to gain full citizenship for Indians in South Africa, a goal he did not achieve.
Returning to India in 1915:
In 1915, Gandhi returned from South Africa to live in India. He spoke at the conventions of the Indian National Congress, but was primarily introduced to Indian issues, politics and the Indian people by Gopal Krishna Gokhale, a respected leader of the Congress Party at the time.
Role in World War I :
In April 1918, during the latter part of World War I, Gandhi was invited by the Viceroy to a War Conference in Delhi. Perhaps to show his support for the Empire and help his case for India's independence, Gandhi agreed to actively recruit Indians for the war effort. In contrast to the Zulu War of 1906 and the outbreak of World War I in 1914, when he recruited volunteers for the Ambulance Corps, this time Gandhi attempted to recruit combatants.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve.

He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

2. Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela is one of the world's most revered
statesmen, who led the struggle to replace the
apartheid regime of South Africa with a multi-racial
democracy. Jailed for 27 years, he emerged in 1990
to become the country's first black president four
years later and to play a leading role in the drive for
peace in other spheres of conflict. He won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1993. His charisma, self-deprecating
sense of humor and lack of bitterness over his harsh
treatment, as well as his amazing life story, are few
reasons among many for his extraordinary global
appeal.
3. Mandela against Apartheid
Nelson Mandela was a
leading member of the
African National Congress
(ANC), which opposed South
Africa's white minority
government and its policy of
racial separation, known
as apartheid. The government
outlawed the ANC in 1960.
Mandela was captured and
jailed in 1962.
4. He began serving the sentence
as prisoner number 46664 on
Robben Island, near Cape
Town, but instead of
disappearing from view,
Mandela became a prison-
bound martyr and worldwide
symbol of resistance to
racism.
7. Mandela remained loyal to dictators like Libya’s
Colonel Gadafy and Cuba’s Fidel Castro, owing
to their long-standing support of the
ANC. However, he rather belatedly condemned
“the tragic failure of leadership” in Robert
Mugabe’s Zimbabwe. After remaining silent
during his presidency, Mandela called for
recognizing South Africa’s AIDS epidemic and
prioritizing measures to combat it, Mandela’s
only surviving son (together with his daughter-
in-law) having succumbed to the disease in 2005.

British institutions in peaceful forms of civil
disobedience. He was killed by a fanatic in 1948.
10. Gandhi in South Africa
While traveling by train to Pretoria,
Gandhiji experienced his first taste of
racial discrimination. Inspite of carrying
first class ticket, he was indiscriminately
thrown out of the train by the authorities
on the instigation of a white man.
Instead of fleeing from the scene,
Gandhiji stayed back - for 21 years to
fight for rights of the Indians in South
Africa. It yielded fruit. Under pressure
from the British government the attempt
to disfranchise Indians in South Africa
was abandoned.

11. Gandhi in India
One of the greatest men in the history of India
is unarguably Mahatma Gandhi. The way he
gave shape and character to India's freedom
struggle is worthy of a standing ovation. He
sacrificed his own life for the sake of his
country. The respect that he earned for himself
despite leading a simple lifestyle is much
appreciable. Mahatma Gandhi played a pivotal
role in the freedom struggle of India. His non
violent ways and peaceful methods were the
foundation for gaining independence from the
British.
