On Civil Disobedience By Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant
has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your
neutrality"–Bishop Desmond Tutus. Sometimes being neutral in a situation is good. When two of
your best friends are fighting with each other, do you pick a side? Would you choose one friend over
the other? If so, how would that affect you and the friend you didn't choose relationship? The reason
why it is not important for people to take a stand on issues of justice in society is because a nation
tends to fall because of civil disobedience, pain, suffering, and sometimes death may occur, and

So by doing so, it allows leaders and governments to better understand how the people feel about
certain laws or rules. In Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's speech "On Civil Disobedience" he says,
"No clapping is possible without two hands to do it, and no quarrel without two persons to make it.
Similarly, no State is possible without two entities, the rulers and the ruled. Your are our sovereign,
or Government, only so long as we consider ourselves your subjects. When we are not subjects, you
are not the sovereign either. So long as it is your endeavour to control us with justice and love, we
will let you tod so. But if you wish to strike at us from behind, we cannot permit it." In other words,
in order to have order, there needs to be a strong connection between the "subjects" and
"sovereigns". By not doing so, it could lead to civil disobedience, violence, or even death.
Nevertheless, in Chief Joseph's speech "On Surrender At Bear Paw Mountain, 1877" he says, "Tell
General Howard that I know his heart. What he told me before I have in my heart. I am tired of
fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead, Tu–hul–hil–sote is dead. The old men are all
dead...Hear me, my chiefs, my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no
more forever." Further explained, although Chief Joseph fought for his land, liberty, and people, he

Mohandas Gandhi
Born into a merchant family in 1869, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was under the influence of
powerful people. Members of his family had served as prime ministers of an Indian state for several
generations. His parents were strong in their religion, being devout and earnest Hindus. They were a
part of a Hindu sect that worshipped Vishnu and promoted non–violence.
Apparently, he was most influenced by his mother, a gentle and intelligent person. According to
Hindu custom, he married at an early age and grew to love his wife greatly. Together, they had four
children and adopted a fourth.

After many of his follower's were put into prison and cruelly dealt with, some people engaged in

miscalculation' to have failed to teach the people how to react non–violently before asking them to
protest. As a result of his 'mistake', he called off the entire movement, thinking it had been a failure.
On the contrary, the movement had been a great success, no longer did the Indians fear the British
jails or the British guns. It was evident now, that the British Government in India was inevitably
going to fall. After many failures to reach an agreement with the British Government and after a
short 'Individual Civil Disobedience' movement where many were imprisoned, the British finally
gave the power to the Indians in 1946. But, the question remained as to whether or not the area
should be separated into two on a communal basis. As a result, many riots broke out between the
different interests of the people.
Gandhi himself was opposed to separation and to the violence that had broken out. He went from
village to village trying to get the people to understand the benefits of unity, but it wasn't working.
He was forced to agree with his comrades in the Congress who promoted partition into two areas:
India and Pakistan, which came about in 1947.

The History And Development Of Mohandas Gandhi
Gandhi once said "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Despite the fact young
Gandhi was surrounded by a world of violence, he sought a development of peace among the
people. Mohandas Gandhi possessed a foundation of leadership and strong beliefs that directed his
endeavors, he worked toward the ability to influence the people of India and worldwide with his
perception on nonviolence, and in doing this gained a strength in persevering through hardships. On
October 2nd of 1869, Mohandas Gandhi was born in Porbandar, India. He was a part of a wealthy
family in the Modh Bania subcaste of the Vaisya. Early years of Gandhi's life would be spent at the
Inner Temple of London, training in law. First employed as a nonviolent civil disobedience
expatriate lawyer in South Africa, Gandhi would work for the struggle in civil rights. The origin and
development of Gandhi's beliefs and views on the world came from certain situations and
experiences in his life. "On the train from the port of Pretoria, Gandhi was kicked off for trying to sit
in the first class compartment when a white passenger objected his presence" (Lewis). This was the
catalyst to Gandhi's influence. Only a week after being kicked off the train, Gandhi overcame his
reticence and began public speaking at meetings and would begin organizing his own. Devotion
towards Gandhi's ideas on violence evolved soon after. "The development of Gandhian nonviolence

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
The Importance of Mohandas Gandhi was written by Mary and Mike Furbee. Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi was born in the town of Porbandar located in western India. He grew up in a
very religious and affluent family, which made his social and economic life a bit easier. Instead of
growing up and achieving through his families money, Gandhi wanted to earn his own name. He
was married at the age of thirteen to Kasturibai and also continued his studies. After High School, he
went to University College of London for law school. When he came back to India, he got an offer
to work in South Africa in the colony of Natal as a low level lawyer. There he saw that Indians had
very less rights and were targets of racial discrimination. He then made a Natal Indian Congress to
fight for the rights of Indians. When most problems were solved in South Africa, Gandhi went back
to India and also noticed the same mistreatment given to Indians there. He then decided to make
India independent, not by force, but by peace. Gandhi was quite lucky during his time to attend law
school abroad in London. Some children did not even get a chance to go to school in villages. He
faced challenges during his childhood, such as managing a marriage at the age of education. He
even dealt with loss of children. However, Gandhi did not give up, but instead he work hard to get

Religion : Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
"Religion should pervade every one of our actions" (Gandhi, "My Religion," 7). As one of the most
influential people ever seen, Gandhi lived and loved religion. This love was both a product of his
nature and his environment. Politics and religion has been intertwined in Southeast Asian since the
beginning of settlement; furthermore, the Hindu–Muslim conflict started as soon as Islam entered
the Indian subcontinent. Despite this long history, many people thought nothing of Indian politics
until its independence movement from Britain in the 1900s. During this time, Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi, better known by the respectful name Mahatma Gandhi, began to influence the
world. Gandhi's political stance did not just arise, but was affected by a myriad of religious factors
in India. Organizing countless strikes, the "Quit India movement," fasting, self–purification, and
similar movements, Gandhi constantly strove not only for change, but for improvement through a
peaceful method. Furthermore, even after the separation from Britain, Gandhi always strove to do
what he believed was right. The methods he used to achieve these goals were all influenced by his
unique beliefs. To understand the influence of religion on Gandhi, one must first understand the
nature of religion and spirituality to Gandhi. Speaking on this topic, Gandhi stated, "Spirituality is

Mohandas Mahatma Gandhi
(1809–1849)
Biography
Mohandas K. Gandhi was born in 1869, in Porbandar, India. His mother was illiterate, but her
common sense and religious devotion had a lasting impact on Gandhi's character. As a youngster,
Mohandas was a good student, but he never displayed any signs of leadership. On the death of his
father, Mohandas travelled to England to gain a degree in law. He became involved with the
Vegetarian Society and was once asked to translate the Hindu Bhagavad Gita. This classic of Hindu
literature awakened in Gandhi a sense of pride in the Indian scriptures.
Around this time, he also studied the Bible and was struck by the teachings of Jesus Christ –
especially the emphasis on humility and forgiveness. He remained committed to the Bible and
Bhagavad Gita throughout his life, though he was critical of aspects of both religions.
Gandhi in South Africa
On completing his degree in Law, Gandhi returned to India, where he was soon sent to South Africa
to practise law. In South Africa, Gandhi was struck by the level of racial discrimination and injustice
often experienced by Indians. It was in South Africa that Gandhi first experimented with campaigns
of civil disobedience and protest; he called his non–violent protests satyagraha. Despite being
imprisoned for short periods of time, he also supported the British under certain conditions. He was
decorated by the British for his efforts during the Boer war and Zulu rebellion.

The Struggle Over Kashmir, By Mohandas Gandhi

South Asia. Ever since the partition of India in 1947, when Britain dismantled its Indian empire,
India and Pakistan have been archrivals. What makes this conflict interesting, conversely, is how

and history, but is exemplified by the long–running battle over the control of Jammu and Kashmir.

In just a period of four days over 5,000 people were killed during religious riots in the Indian city of
Calcutta. After the partition of India and Pakistan, to stop Kashmir from being a part of India,
Pakistan invaded them and tried to gain control. The Maharaja of Kashmir at the time fled to India
and offered a deal to let Kashmir be under Indian control if India would defend Kashmir from
further invasion. India agreed and immediately sent out troops to fight off the Pakistani invaders. Per
the agreement, the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir makes up about 45% of Kashmir. Pakistan
controls three areas known as Azad Kashmir, Gilgit and Baltistan, which make up about 35% of
Kashmir. Finally, China controls one area called Aksai Chin equaling to 20% of Kashmir. The
people of Kashmir have the same rights and privileges as any Indian citizen. The government of
India has built schools, hospitals and police stations for the Kashmiri people. But, the people of
Kashmir preferred to be a part of Pakistan due to their Islamic beliefs. Pakistan does not
acknowledge the control of Kashmir by India and still considers it their land.

and other non harmful acts. With these strategies the leaders were able to successfully achieve their
goal. Non–violence comes in many different forms such as, boycotts, freedom rides, sit–ins and
marches. One other form of non–violence is to intentionally disobey the law in a calm and peaceful
manner. Non–violence has attained many leaders goals in different eras. However, three of the most
popular leaders used this strategy to influence the world were: Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King

India deserved to be their own person and have their own personality without the consent of the

they wanted to without the British telling them what to do and how to do it. Nelson Mandela

mother: not to touch meat, alcohol, and women. He had a difficult time. He did not fit in with the
British. He changed himself by wearing more modern clothes and taking classes such as dance. He
found a society that was vegetarian and joined. He also found a vegetarian restaurant and had his
first full meal since he arrived. He finished school and his exams. He then returned to India and
realized that he had studied law, but had not learned how to practice it. He did not have knowledge
about Indian law and worse of all, lacked ability to speak in public. He wasn't able to speak in his
first court case. Gandhi took an offer to work for a firm in South Africa. The firm needed someone
with the knowledge of English language and law to represent them for a year.
He went to South Africa and while he was riding on the train, a white man entered the first–class

Mohandas Gandhi was an Indian pacifist and activist, who is a beacon and an icon for many people.
He has inspired many to pursue non–violence, which is why we can consider him one of the greatest

closer to god. Gandhi was a reformer because he played a large role in India's freedom from Britain,
he is seen as the century's foremost representative of civil rights, and he created a method of moral
activism and non–violence. As stated by Gandhi, "Only if I die for India shall I know that I was fit
to live." Gandhi is the main reason why India freed themselves from Britain's control in the early
1900s. The British wanted to pass a bill to prevent Indians from voting, so Gandhi led a drive that
gathered 10,000 signatures to oppose the bill (Deats 25). Also, Gandhi marched 240 miles to the sea,
where he made salt illegally against the government's monopoly and high tax on salt to help the poor

Mahatma Gandhi : A Short Biography : Mohandas Karamchand...
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, widely known as "Mahatma Gandhi," was popular for his
involvement in the independence movement against the British rule of India, as well as advocating
for the rights of Indians in South Africa. He was born in Porbandar, India, on October 2, 1869.
Gandhi studied law and began organizing boycotts and other peaceful forms of civil disobedience
against British institutions in an effort to reduce British influence on Indian culture, and ultimately,
gain independence. Despite his fame as a peaceful protester, he was killed by a Hindu fanatic on
January 30, 1948. Spending his youth in India, Mahatma was the son of Karamchand Gandhi, a
chief minister in Porbandar and other states in western India, and Putlibai a deeply religious woman
who fasted regularly. As was customary at the time, Mahatma's parents arranged for him to marry
Kasturba Makanji, who later gave birth to four sons. Gandhi grew up following in his mother's
religious footsteps, worshiping the Hindu god Vishnu and following Jainism, a rigorous Indian
religion that promoted fasting, meditation, non–violence and vegetarianism. While he was primarily
interested in becoming a doctor, Gandhi's father wanted him to become involved in the government,
so they compromised and he decided to become a lawyer. In 1888, 18–year–old Gandhi left India

These men were about to have to pay a tax of twenty–five pounds, an amount they couldn't pay.
Gandhi appealed to the Viceroy of India, the Colonial Secretary in London, and to Naoroji, the
Indian member of Parliament (Coolidge 44). He registered as an advocate before Natal's Supreme
Court, wrote articles, gave speeches, and even removed his turban while the court was in session.

the tax but he managed to get it reduced to three pounds, still only some could pay this. More
important than these two achievements was the Natal Indian Congress. This was a permanent
organization with an educational branch and it was available to the poor. Its wide availability

A Brief Biography of Mahatma Gandhi
Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi was born in the western part of
British–ruled India on October 2, 1869. When the British cracked down on Indian civil liberties after
World War I, Gandhi began to organize nonviolent protests. He enforced the ideas of nonviolence,
passive resistance, and civil disobedience by meeting with politicians, fasting, and launching
campaigns to protest in order to regain rightful ownership of Indian self–government. He was very
successful in using passive resistance and teaching by example. By Gandhi doing all of this, there
was a positive outcome after all the hard work he and Indian people did. The outcome was that
Britain's Parliament passed on July 1947 the Indian Independence Act. Mohandas was the youngest
member out of his siblings. His father was a knowledgeable administrator, and very skillful at
intervening between British officials and the local civilians. "His mother was an [extremely sincere
believer] of Vaishnavism, the worship of Vishnu, and she devoted herself to fasting and prayer. She
taught Mohandas values such as tolerance and ahimsa, or non–injury to living beings" (Szczepanksi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi And The Congress Of Gandhi
On October 2, 1869, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born into a religious Hindu family. His
father, Karamchand Gandhi, already had previous sons and daughters from his four other wives,
with Gandhi marking his last son. As a child, Gandhi showed great interests towards family
devotion and sacrifices. He would often slip away from his overly crowded house and into shops on
the street. Because of Hindu law, Gandhi was wed to Kasturbai Makanji at age 13–14.
Eventually, as Gandhi became older and more mature, he started showing passion towards his
studies. He was offered a one–year contract for working in a South African Indian law firm. On his
way to Pretoria, a white man objected to the fact that Gandhi was traveling first class. Gandhi
refused to move, claiming he had a first–class ticket. He was quickly thrown off the train and was
forced to spend a night on the station platform. After a successful and fulfilling year as a lawyer,
Gandhi's trip to South Africa was almost at an end. At his farewell party, Gandhi spotted a column in
the newspaper stating that the government in Natal was preparing to seize Indian's right to vote.
Disheartened by India's current condition, Gandhi decided to stay longer and gather signatures for a
petition against the discriminatory actions. Within two weeks, the pacifist collected ten thousand
signatures and founded the Indian Congress of Natal. Believing that written words would make a
bigger impact, Gandhi published two pamphlets that spoke out against the new government
movement. Without delay, Gandhi promptly returned to India to fetch his family. In 1906, Gandhi
attempted a mass nonviolent civil disobedience campaign to counteract the South African Transvaal
governments new restrictions and regulations. He dubbed it Satyagraha, meaning "firmness in
truth", but his attempts failed and he was promptly arrested. His actions, however, left a lasting
impact, leading to multiple rebellions and protest. In 1913, Gandhi made a negotiated a compromise
with General Jan Christian Smuts, which ended poll taxes for Indians and recognized non–Christian
marriages. Later on in his life, Gandhi supervised many other nonviolent acts of rebellions, such as
mass marches and boycotts.

looking for justice, equality, and equal opportunities. These human rights activists all fought for
their rights and persisted in trying to make a change in the world around them.
One of the most popular human rights activists who fought for racial equality, Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi would stop at no length to achieve this. "Gandhi developed his philosophy of
"Satyagraha," or resistance through non–violent civil disobedience to defend his rights and the rights
of all Indians and non–whites. Practices of Satyagraha included boycotts, protest marches, and fasts.
He encouraged others to defend their rights in this manner, and to work together to end racial
injustice in South Africa" (Study Synce). One for encouraging people to face their fears,Gandhi
would let people get out of their comfort zones and fight for what is theirs; With this, Gandhi would
also have people who did not agree with him. The author stated that Gandhi was sent to prison for 6
years, Gandhi had been thrown off a train in South America because he was Indian, and had
attempts of assassination against him, the final one being successful from a Buddhist extremist
Nathuram Vinayak Godse (Sivananda). Even though Gandhi had faced obstacles such as these,
nevertheless, people still rallied to him and supported him during troubling times, this would help
Gandhi achieve racial justice."Gandhi's firm and tenacious adherence to the cause of the poor, the
downtrodden Harijans, and the common man of the Indian village, is indeed worthy of emulation.
Through all the vicissitudes of time and power and fame, he kept before the vision of the Indian
Congress the fundamental purpose for which it came into being–the amelioration of the suffering of
the poor. Uncrowned king of the land, he remained a friend of the poor; he lived for them, moved
among them as one of them, and served them with all his heart. He saw God in them, and in their
service wore out his body"(Sivananda). As seen from what Gandhi had done and how people were

Mohandas Gandhi : A Leader Of Gandhi As A Leader
Historically, there were many good leaders. Each of them were unique with their attributes.
However, there were only some leaders that were very effective. One of these leaders was Gandhi.
Gandhi was a leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule by using nonviolent
civil disobedience. Another example was Julius Caesar who was a leader in the Roman Republic and
transformed the republic into an empire. However, Caesar lacked attributes that Gandhi has that
could have made him a more effective leader. Although seen as a person who restrained Britain from
growing, Mohandas Gandhi was an effective leader because of his humility, his persistence, and his
inspiration and motivation to his followers. By being a humble leader, who is secure enough to
recognize his or her weaknesses and to seek the input and talents of others, Gandhi was an effective
leader. Being humble was important for Gandhi because he was able to improve on himself after
learning from his own mistakes by being honest. Likewise, by being able to seek input from others,
it shows that he is able to trust. For example, he was humble enough to give "way to them[younger
leaders] to become leaders of the Indian National Congress. After independence, he did not hold any
post in the government but remained a humble servant who sacrificed his life for the cause of India"
(Barnabas and Clifford). This clearly shows that he was open–minded to new ideas around him that

The beliefs and achievements of Nelson Mandela and Mohandas Gandhi have made positive
impacts on society throughout global history. They both helped people fight the restrictions against
them in order to earn what they deserved; freedom. Mandela never stopped helping people achieve
equal rights. Gandhi saw people were being mistreated so he took action by boycotting. Both men
fought hard to earn the rights that people sill currently have today. In the 1960s, one of Sharpeville's
leaders, Nelson Mandela was put in prison for conspiracy. Despite the fact that he was in jail, he
continued to lead South Africans against the apartheid government for 27 years. They wanted to rid
of passbooks and the fact that if you didn't carry your with you that you would be beaten or killed.
The people of South Africa deserved equal rights; not segregation. Separate facilities was
unnecessary and also unfair. Nelson was imprisoned in October of 1962 for treason. People from all
over the world demanded that he be freed. By the time the 1980s rolled around, the U.S. and the
U.K. were strongly pressuring South Africa to set Nelson free and demolish apartheid government.
To increase the pressure, people started boycotting buying South African goods. In 1989 the new

Biography of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Introduction Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who is more popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi,
was born on October 2nd, 1869 and passed away on January 30th, 1948. He was the most popular
leader of the Indian nationalist movement during the British–rule that lasted for nearly a century in
India. He was the most adamant supporter of the non–violent civil disobedience and was the leader
that inspired the move towards independence and civil rights amongst the Indians. Gandhi was born
on the coastal regions of Gujarat in a Hindu Bania community in the family of a senior government
official Karamchand Gandhi. His mother Putlibai was his father's fourth wife. The first three wives
died during child birth. His mother was a Jain and Gandhi was strongly influenced by Jain traditions
and customs (Erikson, 1969). He studied law abroad in London. His very first effort towards social
change was on return to India in 1915. Prior to his return, he worked in South Africa for the civil
rights of the Muslims and Hindus in the region. This was where he first experimented with the new
techniques of non–violent efforts towards change. While he was in South Africa, he also dedicated
his time towards voicing non–violently against the numerous legislatures that existed against the
Indians. These were the techniques he then also applied when returning to India when supporting
peasants to fight against the extreme land taxes in the region (Erikson, 1969). He was never a

Protest Methods Of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a human rights activist who fought for the independence of
India from British Rule. His revolutionary protest methods inspired the likes of Martin Luther King
Jr. and others. However, many despised Gandhi's methods. One night, Gandhi, after shaming the
city of Delhi, was heading to a prayer meeting and it was there that Nathuram Godse fired three
point–blank shots at Gandhi, killing him on the spot. Gandhi's assassination was justified because he
employed controversial protest methods, he defied British Rule, and he combined conflicting
religions which caused confusion in his community. Many may say that Gandhi did many great
things, but those positives are outweighed by the negatives.
To begin with, Gandhi continuously employed controversial and illegal methods to protest the
injustices that his people faced. For example, Gandhi led a satyagraha due to the prohibition of salt
exportation to India from countries other than Britain. According to This Day in History, "Gandhi
set out from Sabarmati with 78 followers on a 241–mile march to the coastal town of Dandi on the
Arabian Sea. There, Gandhi and his supporters were to defy British policy by making salt from
seawater" (paragraph 3). This action was literally illegal. Similarly in 1920, America banned the
production and distribution of alcohol. However, many individuals decided to make and distribute
alcohol or have it imported. They were called bootleggers. Gandhi's actions were comparable

University Mohandas to Mahatma: A Glimpse of Gandhi's Leadership Mohandas K. Gandhi was
born and raised in Porbandar, India on October 2, 1869 into a family of a privileged caste (Gandhi &
Desai, 1927). He was raised by a father who was the Chief Minister of Porbandar and a mother of
great devotion to the Hindu religion, and he was given thorough educational opportunity, which led
to his attainment of a law degree (HISTORY, 2015). While traveling to begin a new position at an
Indian law firm in Natal, South Africa, Gandhi experienced racial bias and color discrimination as
he was thrown from a first–class train carriage (despite having a valid ticket) for refusing to move
(Gandhi & Fischer, 2002). Witnessed injustices and racial discriminations such as this went on to
fuel Gandhi's activism in a fight against segregation and political oppression for the people of India.
As stated by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, we can analyze the effectiveness of Gandhi's leadership
by observing certain practices that he displayed. These practices include: inspire a shared vision,
challenge the process, model the way, enable others to act, and encourage the heart (Northouse,

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi : Just Ghandi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, famously known as just Ghandi, was an Indian lawyer, politician,
social activist and writer. However one of his greater accomplishments would be becoming the
leader of an Indian Independence movement against British rule. Although Gandhi had no locality in
the governmental field he was a significant figure in India's struggle for sovereignty. Gandhi was
raised by his father Karamchand who was prime minister and his deeply religious mother Pultiblai
in Porbandar, a small city in the Kathiawar Peninsula. His mother was so religious to the point
where she visited temples daily and often encouraged Gandhi to do the same. His household
practiced Vaishnavism which was the worship of the Hindu god Vishnu. He was the youngest out of
four other children and the son of his father's last wife. Growing up he was a very tranquil boy.
Although he disliked sports, he was a decent student in the classroom. Porbandar's educational
provisions were extremely limited. Children in his classroom had to write the alphabet in the dirt
with their fingers. His childhood dream was to study medicine but his father persuaded him to study
law instead. At age 13 his unanticipated marriage to teenage wife Kasturba caused him to skip his
last year of school. In september 1888 he went to England to study law but before leaving he
promised his mother to become vegetarian. However Gandhi never adapted to the English lifestyle.
His english colleagues encouraged him to become even more interested in Hindu writings and in
doing so Gandhi came to appreciate Hinduism more and began to explore other religions as well.
Gandhi decided to return to India where he successfully practiced law in Bombay and Rajkot and
excelled as a lawyer for the prince of Porbandar. Soon Gandhi was presented with the opportunity to
go to South Africa. Once he arrived in South Africa he became immediately repulsed by the way
white settlers treated Indians. Gandhi spent 20 years purging South Africa's rebels of their sickly
habits and encouraged them to take steps toward showing they were worthy to be citizens. Finally
the Indians in that country were granted citizenship rights. While in South Africa Gandhi also began

Mohandas Ghandi was the source of many changes throughout, India, Britain, and the world. With
all that Ghandi has done in our world it becomes overwhelming when I think about his life. What
Ghandi did in terms of opening the minds of the people of India is almost analogous to what Christ
did to open the minds of the people around him. With all that can be said about Ghandi, I would like
to focus upon his economic impact in Britain and India.
Britain’s self–glorifying empire building was a great hindrance on the Indian economy.

The Indians were forced to sell their raw cotton to the British, and the British would manufacture it
into clothes that were sold back to the Indians. Ghandi saw how England was able to railroad the
Indian population with its strangle hold on the cotton market. Ghandi hand–spun his own cloth and
inspired others to do as well. By making and using their own cotton the Indian people were
protesting the British way of doing things. Ghandi, and his followers, rejected Western style clothing
because they had strong feelings of nationalism and proclaimed they were not westerners, thus they
would not wear their style of clothing.
The Western style of clothing was just one of many things Ghandi rejected while he was developing
into the man that we remember. Had Ghandi accepted the traditional Western style clothing he
would not have been able to reach all Indians since a large number of Indians could not afford
British clothes.
Ghandi’s policy of non–cooperation and peaceful disobedience is one that would be
very difficult to follow through with. I don’t think I could be able to do what Ghandi
did. I do believe that peaceful protest is a very effective means of getting what you want. When
people see a group protesting in a non–violent fashion and then they see that group beaten to the
ground by police, it tends to build public support for those in protest.

Supportive or crtical of Gandhi's beliefs and political methhods for achieving independence from

Civil disobedience is when the people or citizens oppose to follow certain rules or laws and they
will protest peacefully. People who practice civil disobedience are people who would fight for what
they believe is wrong and unfair through nonviolent actions, like the civil rights movement. Some
people who are known for practicing civil disobedience were Mohandas K. Gandhi and Martin
Luther King Jr., but another person who was also involved with the concept of civil disobedience
was Malcolm X. Malcolm X had different thoughts about civil disobedience. Although he had
different ways to approach problems, he also believed that people should oppose to unjust laws just
like Gandhi and King did. While Gandhi and King believed that those problems should be solved
peacefully no matter how difficult it would be, Malcolm X believed that it would not work if people
fought violence with nonviolence. All three of them, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., and
Malcolm X had shown their thoughts about nonviolent resistance through their speeches or letters.
Although Malcolm X had an argument I agree with, I think Gandhi and King had stronger
arguments. When most people hear the word civil disobedience or the concept of civil disobedience,
many people will think about Mohandas K. Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr.. Mohandas J. Gandhi
was someone who fought for Indians rights. Gandhi led a Satyagraha campaign for Indians. This
Satyagraha campaign was the idea of nonviolence resistance. This shows that he supports the
concept of civil disobedience. Gandhi was a leader who led people to, "hold to the principles of
nonviolent resistance even in the face of violent tactics by those in power" (On Nonviolent
Resistance speech). Here, Gandhi encouraged his followers and supporters to be nonviolent when
they encounter problems. For example, when people threatens them violently, Gandhi wants them to
protest quietly and not harm them. He believed that when you fight them violently, there would not
be a victory because you are harming them, you are becoming like them. Gandhi says how fighting

outcast although he tried to ape the English youth.All his attempts to become a fashionable English
gentleman again proved a misadventure as his attempts to smoke and eating meat had proved earlier
in India. Therefore, he gave up these attempts of becoming a gentleman and decided to follow his
own nature. There he read Barnard Shaw's "Plea for Vegetarianism" and declared, "From the day of
reading this book, I may claim to have become a vegetarian by choice–the spread of which became
my mission."He also set up a vegetarian club there and one day invited Sir Adwin Arnold to become
the club's Vice– president. In 1891, he passed his Bar–at–Law examination and in the summer of the
same year returned to India, to his great relief, and he was called to the Bar at Bombay but again as

If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality"–Bishop Desmond Tutus. Sometimes being neutral in a situation is good. When two of your best friends are fighting with each other, do you pick a side? Would you choose one friend over the other? If so, how would that affect you and the friend you didn't choose relationship? The reason why it is not important for people to take a stand on issues of justice in society is because a nation tends to fall because of civil disobedience, pain, suffering, and sometimes death may occur, and there is a chance of failing and/or suffering the ...

In Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's speech "On Civil Disobedience" he says, "No clapping is possible without two hands to do it, and no quarrel without two persons to make it. Similarly, no State is possible without two entities, the rulers and the ruled. Your are our sovereign, or Government, only so long as we consider ourselves your subjects. When we are not subjects, you are not the sovereign either. So long as it is your endeavour to control us with justice and love, we will let you tod so. But if you wish to strike at us from behind, we cannot permit it." In other words, in order to have order, there needs to be a strong connection between the "subjects" and "sovereigns". By not doing so, it could lead to civil disobedience, violence, or even death. Nevertheless, in Chief Joseph's speech "On Surrender At Bear Paw Mountain, 1877" he says, "Tell General Howard that I know his heart. What he told me before I have in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead, Tu–hul–hil–sote is dead. The old men are all dead...Hear me, my chiefs, my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever." Further explained, although Chief Joseph fought for his land, liberty, and people, he failed. In result of this, many suffered and were killed. Because of this failure, Chief Joseph regrets fighting and decides to quit. Therefore, standing for issues on justice is not ...

Members of his family had served as prime ministers of an Indian state for several generations. His parents were strong in their religion, being devout and earnest Hindus. They were a part of a Hindu sect that worshipped Vishnu and promoted non–violence. Apparently, he was most influenced by his mother, a gentle and intelligent person. According to Hindu custom, he married at an early age and grew to love his wife greatly. Together, they had four children and adopted a fourth.

After many of his follower's were put into prison and cruelly dealt with, some people engaged in violence. Gandhi's distaste for this reaction showed, yet he blamed himself calling it a 'Himalayan miscalculation' to have failed to teach the people how to react non–violently before asking them to protest. As a result of his 'mistake', he called off the entire movement, thinking it had been a failure. On the contrary, the movement had been a great success, no longer did the Indians fear the British jails or the British guns. It was evident now, that the British Government in India was inevitably going to fall. After many failures to reach an agreement with the British Government and after a short 'Individual Civil Disobedience' movement where many were imprisoned, the British finally gave the power to the Indians in 1946. But, the question remained as to whether or not the area should be separated into two on a communal basis. As a result, many riots broke out between the different interests of the people. Gandhi himself was opposed to separation and to the violence that had broken out. He went from village to village trying to get the people to understand the benefits of unity, but it wasn't working. He was forced to agree with his comrades in the Congress who promoted partition into two areas: India and Pakistan, which came about in 1947. In 1948, Gandhi was fatally shot by a Hindu fanatic.

Despite the fact young Gandhi was surrounded by a world of violence, he sought a development of peace among the people. Mohandas Gandhi possessed a foundation of leadership and strong beliefs that directed his endeavors, he worked toward the ability to influence the people of India and worldwide with his perception on nonviolence, and in doing this gained a strength in persevering through hardships. On October 2nd of 1869, Mohandas Gandhi was born in Porbandar, India. He was a part of a wealthy family in the Modh Bania subcaste of the Vaisya. Early years of Gandhi's life would be spent at the Inner Temple of London, training in law. First employed as a nonviolent civil disobedience expatriate lawyer in South Africa, Gandhi would work for the struggle in civil rights. The origin and development of Gandhi's beliefs and views on the world came from certain situations and experiences in his life. "On the train from the port of Pretoria, Gandhi was kicked off for trying to sit in the first class compartment when a white passenger objected his presence" (Lewis). This was the catalyst to Gandhi's influence. Only a week after being kicked off the train, Gandhi overcame his reticence and began public speaking at meetings and would begin organizing his own. Devotion towards Gandhi's ideas on violence evolved soon after. "The development of Gandhian nonviolence was owed to four forms of violence throughout his ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 21. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi The Importance of Mohandas Gandhi was written by Mary and Mike Furbee. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in the town of Porbandar located in western India. He grew up in a very religious and affluent family, which made his social and economic life a bit easier. Instead of growing up and achieving through his families money, Gandhi wanted to earn his own name. He was married at the age of thirteen to Kasturibai and also continued his studies. After High School, he went to University College of London for law school. When he came back to India, he got an offer to work in South Africa in the colony of Natal as a low level lawyer. There he saw that Indians had very less rights and were targets of racial discrimination. He then made a Natal Indian Congress to fight for the rights of Indians. When most problems were solved in South Africa, Gandhi went back to India and also noticed the same mistreatment given to Indians there. He then decided to make India independent, not by force, but by peace. Gandhi was quite lucky during his time to attend law school abroad in London. Some children did not even get a chance to go to school in villages. He faced challenges during his childhood, such as managing a marriage at the age of education. He even dealt with loss of children. However, Gandhi did not give up, but instead he work hard to get good education.

As one of the most influential people ever seen, Gandhi lived and loved religion. This love was both a product of his nature and his environment. Politics and religion has been intertwined in Southeast Asian since the beginning of settlement; furthermore, the Hindu–Muslim conflict started as soon as Islam entered the Indian subcontinent. Despite this long history, many people thought nothing of Indian politics until its independence movement from Britain in the 1900s. During this time, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known by the respectful name Mahatma Gandhi, began to influence the world. Gandhi's political stance did not just arise, but was affected by a myriad of religious factors in India. Organizing countless strikes, the "Quit India movement," fasting, self–purification, and similar movements, Gandhi constantly strove not only for change, but for improvement through a peaceful method. Furthermore, even after the separation from Britain, Gandhi always strove to do what he believed was right. The methods he used to achieve these goals were all influenced by his unique beliefs. To understand the influence of religion on Gandhi, one must first understand the nature of religion and spirituality to Gandhi. Speaking on this topic, Gandhi stated, "Spirituality is not a matter of knowing scriptures and engaging in philosophical discussions. It is a matter of heart culture, of unmeasurable ...

His mother was illiterate, but her common sense and religious devotion had a lasting impact on Gandhi's character. As a youngster, Mohandas was a good student, but he never displayed any signs of leadership. On the death of his father, Mohandas travelled to England to gain a degree in law. He became involved with the Vegetarian Society and was once asked to translate the Hindu Bhagavad Gita. This classic of Hindu literature awakened in Gandhi a sense of pride in the Indian scriptures. Around this time, he also studied the Bible and was struck by the teachings of Jesus Christ – especially the emphasis on humility and forgiveness. He remained committed to the Bible and Bhagavad Gita throughout his life, though he was critical of aspects of both religions. Gandhi in South Africa On completing his degree in Law, Gandhi returned to India, where he was soon sent to South Africa to practise law. In South Africa, Gandhi was struck by the level of racial discrimination and injustice often experienced by Indians. It was in South Africa that Gandhi first experimented with campaigns of civil disobedience and protest; he called his non–violent protests satyagraha. Despite being imprisoned for short periods of time, he also supported the British under certain conditions. He was decorated by the British for his efforts during the Boer war and Zulu rebellion.

Ever since the partition of India in 1947, when Britain dismantled its Indian empire, India and Pakistan have been archrivals. What makes this conflict interesting, conversely, is how much they hate one another. The hostility between these two has been rooted not only in religion and history, but is exemplified by the long–running battle over the control of Jammu and Kashmir. Which has recently intensified into a treacherous nuclear arms race. How the conflict arose?

In just a period of four days over 5,000 people were killed during religious riots in the Indian city of Calcutta. After the partition of India and Pakistan, to stop Kashmir from being a part of India, Pakistan invaded them and tried to gain control. The Maharaja of Kashmir at the time fled to India and offered a deal to let Kashmir be under Indian control if India would defend Kashmir from further invasion. India agreed and immediately sent out troops to fight off the Pakistani invaders. Per the agreement, the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir makes up about 45% of Kashmir. Pakistan controls three areas known as Azad Kashmir, Gilgit and Baltistan, which make up about 35% of Kashmir. Finally, China controls one area called Aksai Chin equaling to 20% of Kashmir. The people of Kashmir have the same rights and privileges as any Indian citizen. The government of India has built schools, hospitals and police stations for the Kashmiri people. But, the people of Kashmir preferred to be a part of Pakistan due to their Islamic beliefs. Pakistan does not acknowledge the control of Kashmir by India and still considers it their land.

Gandhi was the first man to use this strategy in his birthplace of India when they went in a battle with the British to fight for Indian independence. Gandhi believed that the people of India deserved to be their own person and have their own personality without the consent of the British. He believed that they should be able to make their own political choices and dress the way they wanted to without the British telling them what to do and how to do it.

Many people have struggled for independence. They have fought bloody battles or used terrorism in an attempt to achieve their goals. Gandhi's revolution was different. He succeeded as an independence leader with the use of nonviolent methods. The young Mohandas Gandhi did not seem as a boy that would become a great leader. He changed as he studied in Britain and practiced in South Africa. He fought for the rights of Indians in both South Africa and India.

This made Mohandas realize that truth and love had power. After his father passed away, he went to England to study law. He went under three conditions of his mother: not to touch meat, alcohol, and women. He had a difficult time. He did not fit in with the British. He changed himself by wearing more modern clothes and taking classes such as dance. He found a society that was vegetarian and joined. He also found a vegetarian restaurant and had his first full meal since he arrived. He finished school and his exams. He then returned to India and realized that he had studied law, but had not learned how to practice it. He did not have knowledge about Indian law and worse of all, lacked ability to speak in public. He wasn't able to speak in his first court case. Gandhi took an offer to work for a firm in South Africa. The firm needed someone with the knowledge of English language and law to represent them for a year. He went to South Africa and while he was riding on the train, a white man entered the first–class compartment in which Gandhi was sitting in and looked at him then left.

  • 53. Mohandas Gandhi was One of India's Pacifist and Activist Mohandas Gandhi Gandhi once said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mohandas Gandhi was an Indian pacifist and activist, who is a beacon and an icon for many people. He has inspired many to pursue non–violence, which is why we can consider him one of the greatest of his time. Everything he has done was either for the good of others, or to bring himself spiritually closer to god. Gandhi was a reformer because he played a large role in India's freedom from Britain, he is seen as the century's foremost representative of civil rights, and he created a method of moral activism and non–violence. As stated by Gandhi, "Only if I die for India shall I know that I was fit to live." Gandhi is the main reason why India freed themselves from Britain's control in the early 1900s. The British wanted to pass a bill to prevent Indians from voting, so Gandhi led a drive that gathered 10,000 signatures to oppose the bill (Deats 25). Also, Gandhi marched 240 miles to the sea, where he made salt illegally against the government's monopoly and high tax on salt to help the poor (History Study Centre, "Mohandas K. Gandhi."). Once in control of the Indian National Congress, he led the Non–Co–Operation Movement, in which Indians stopped supporting British Colonial Institutions (Hardiman 2). And to finally ignite the spark for their freedom from Britain, Gandhi led the "Quit India" campaign. Independence was declared five years later in 1947 (History Study Centre, "Mohandas ...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, widely known as "Mahatma Gandhi," was popular for his involvement in the independence movement against the British rule of India, as well as advocating for the rights of Indians in South Africa. He was born in Porbandar, India, on October 2, 1869. Gandhi studied law and began organizing boycotts and other peaceful forms of civil disobedience against British institutions in an effort to reduce British influence on Indian culture, and ultimately, gain independence. Despite his fame as a peaceful protester, he was killed by a Hindu fanatic on January 30, 1948. Spending his youth in India, Mahatma was the son of Karamchand Gandhi, a chief minister in Porbandar and other states in western India, and Putlibai a deeply religious woman who fasted regularly. As was customary at the time, Mahatma's parents arranged for him to marry Kasturba Makanji, who later gave birth to four sons. Gandhi grew up following in his mother's religious footsteps, worshiping the Hindu god Vishnu and following Jainism, a rigorous Indian religion that promoted fasting, meditation, non–violence and vegetarianism. While he was primarily interested in becoming a doctor, Gandhi's father wanted him to become involved in the government, so they compromised and he decided to become a lawyer. In 1888, 18–year–old Gandhi left India for London, England, to pursue his education in law.

The petition was presented to the Assembly after only one month. This cause became obvious that it wasn't only for the Indian's right to vote but for their survival as a community in Natal. The majority of Indians had just stayed in South Africa after their time as slaves on plantations or in mines ended. These men were about to have to pay a tax of twenty–five pounds, an amount they couldn't pay. Gandhi appealed to the Viceroy of India, the Colonial Secretary in London, and to Naoroji, the Indian member of Parliament (Coolidge 44). He registered as an advocate before Natal's Supreme Court, wrote articles, gave speeches, and even removed his turban while the court was in session. Though he could not win voting privileges for immigrants from India, he did retain the power to vote for those Indians already on the voting lists. Unfortunately, Gandhi's hard work did not abolish the tax but he managed to get it reduced to three pounds, still only some could pay this. More important than these two achievements was the Natal Indian Congress. This was a permanent organization with an educational branch and it was available to the poor. Its wide availability exposed the organization to the masses. After his accomplishments in South Africa Gandhi returned to India.

When the British cracked down on Indian civil liberties after World War I, Gandhi began to organize nonviolent protests. He enforced the ideas of nonviolence, passive resistance, and civil disobedience by meeting with politicians, fasting, and launching campaigns to protest in order to regain rightful ownership of Indian self–government. He was very successful in using passive resistance and teaching by example. By Gandhi doing all of this, there was a positive outcome after all the hard work he and Indian people did. The outcome was that Britain's Parliament passed on July 1947 the Indian Independence Act. Mohandas was the youngest member out of his siblings. His father was a knowledgeable administrator, and very skillful at intervening between British officials and the local civilians. "His mother was an [extremely sincere believer] of Vaishnavism, the worship of Vishnu, and she devoted herself to fasting and prayer. She taught Mohandas values such as tolerance and ahimsa, or non–injury to living beings" (Szczepanksi 1). "In 1883, the Gandhi's arranged a marriage between 13 year old Mohandas and a 14 year old girl named Kasturba Makhanji.

  • 73. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi And The Congress Of Gandhi On October 2, 1869, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born into a religious Hindu family. His father, Karamchand Gandhi, already had previous sons and daughters from his four other wives, with Gandhi marking his last son. As a child, Gandhi showed great interests towards family devotion and sacrifices. He would often slip away from his overly crowded house and into shops on the street. Because of Hindu law, Gandhi was wed to Kasturbai Makanji at age 13–14. Eventually, as Gandhi became older and more mature, he started showing passion towards his studies. He was offered a one–year contract for working in a South African Indian law firm. On his way to Pretoria, a white man objected to the fact that Gandhi was traveling first class. Gandhi refused to move, claiming he had a first–class ticket. He was quickly thrown off the train and was forced to spend a night on the station platform. After a successful and fulfilling year as a lawyer, Gandhi's trip to South Africa was almost at an end. At his farewell party, Gandhi spotted a column in the newspaper stating that the government in Natal was preparing to seize Indian's right to vote. Disheartened by India's current condition, Gandhi decided to stay longer and gather signatures for a petition against the discriminatory actions. Within two weeks, the pacifist collected ten thousand signatures and founded the Indian Congress of Natal. Believing that written words would make a bigger impact, Gandhi published two pamphlets that spoke out against the new government movement. Without delay, Gandhi promptly returned to India to fetch his family. In 1906, Gandhi attempted a mass nonviolent civil disobedience campaign to counteract the South African Transvaal governments new restrictions and regulations. He dubbed it Satyagraha, meaning "firmness in truth", but his attempts failed and he was promptly arrested. His actions, however, left a lasting impact, leading to multiple rebellions and protest. In 1913, Gandhi made a negotiated a compromise with General Jan Christian Smuts, which ended poll taxes for Indians and recognized non–Christian marriages. Later on in his life, Gandhi supervised many other nonviolent acts of rebellions, such as mass marches and boycotts. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, and Wangari Maathai are some of the type who were looking for justice, equality, and equal opportunities. These human rights activists all fought for their rights and persisted in trying to make a change in the world around them. One of the most popular human rights activists who fought for racial equality, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi would stop at no length to achieve this. "Gandhi developed his philosophy of "Satyagraha," or resistance through non–violent civil disobedience to defend his rights and the rights of all Indians and non–whites. Practices of Satyagraha included boycotts, protest marches, and fasts. He encouraged others to defend their rights in this manner, and to work together to end racial injustice in South Africa" (Study Synce). One for encouraging people to face their fears,Gandhi would let people get out of their comfort zones and fight for what is theirs; With this, Gandhi would also have people who did not agree with him. The author stated that Gandhi was sent to prison for 6 years, Gandhi had been thrown off a train in South America because he was Indian, and had attempts of assassination against him, the final one being successful from a Buddhist extremist Nathuram Vinayak Godse (Sivananda). Even though Gandhi had faced obstacles such as these, nevertheless, people still rallied to him and supported him during troubling times, this would help Gandhi achieve racial justice."Gandhi's firm and tenacious adherence to the cause of the poor, the downtrodden Harijans, and the common man of the Indian village, is indeed worthy of emulation. Through all the vicissitudes of time and power and fame, he kept before the vision of the Indian Congress the fundamental purpose for which it came into being–the amelioration of the suffering of the poor. Uncrowned king of the land, he remained a friend of the poor; he lived for them, moved among them as one of them, and served them with all his heart. He saw God in them, and in their service wore out his body"(Sivananda). As seen from what Gandhi had done and how people were inspired by him, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

However, there were only some leaders that were very effective. One of these leaders was Gandhi. Gandhi was a leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule by using nonviolent civil disobedience. Another example was Julius Caesar who was a leader in the Roman Republic and transformed the republic into an empire. However, Caesar lacked attributes that Gandhi has that could have made him a more effective leader. Although seen as a person who restrained Britain from growing, Mohandas Gandhi was an effective leader because of his humility, his persistence, and his inspiration and motivation to his followers. By being a humble leader, who is secure enough to recognize his or her weaknesses and to seek the input and talents of others, Gandhi was an effective leader. Being humble was important for Gandhi because he was able to improve on himself after learning from his own mistakes by being honest. Likewise, by being able to seek input from others, it shows that he is able to trust. For example, he was humble enough to give "way to them[younger leaders] to become leaders of the Indian National Congress. After independence, he did not hold any post in the government but remained a humble servant who sacrificed his life for the cause of India" (Barnabas and Clifford).

They both helped people fight the restrictions against them in order to earn what they deserved; freedom. Mandela never stopped helping people achieve equal rights. Gandhi saw people were being mistreated so he took action by boycotting. Both men fought hard to earn the rights that people sill currently have today. In the 1960s, one of Sharpeville's leaders, Nelson Mandela was put in prison for conspiracy. Despite the fact that he was in jail, he continued to lead South Africans against the apartheid government for 27 years. They wanted to rid of passbooks and the fact that if you didn't carry your with you that you would be beaten or killed. The people of South Africa deserved equal rights; not segregation. Separate facilities was unnecessary and also unfair. Nelson was imprisoned in October of 1962 for treason. People from all over the world demanded that he be freed. By the time the 1980s rolled around, the U.S. and the U.K. were strongly pressuring South Africa to set Nelson free and demolish apartheid government. To increase the pressure, people started boycotting buying South African goods. In 1989 the new president of South Africa, known as F.W. de Klerk, rid of the racial segregation.

Biography of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Introduction Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who is more popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi, was born on October 2nd, 1869 and passed away on January 30th, 1948. He was the most popular leader of the Indian nationalist movement during the British–rule that lasted for nearly a century in India. He was the most adamant supporter of the non–violent civil disobedience and was the leader that inspired the move towards independence and civil rights amongst the Indians. Gandhi was born on the coastal regions of Gujarat in a Hindu Bania community in the family of a senior government official Karamchand Gandhi. His mother Putlibai was his father's fourth wife. The first three wives died during child birth. His mother was a Jain and Gandhi was strongly influenced by Jain traditions and customs (Erikson, 1969). He studied law abroad in London. His very first effort towards social change was on return to India in 1915. Prior to his return, he worked in South Africa for the civil rights of the Muslims and Hindus in the region. This was where he first experimented with the new techniques of non–violent efforts towards change. While he was in South Africa, he also dedicated his time towards voicing non–violently against the numerous legislatures that existed against the Indians. These were the techniques he then also applied when returning to India when supporting peasants to fight against the extreme land taxes in the region (Erikson, 1969).

His revolutionary protest methods inspired the likes of Martin Luther King Jr. and others. However, many despised Gandhi's methods. One night, Gandhi, after shaming the city of Delhi, was heading to a prayer meeting and it was there that Nathuram Godse fired three point–blank shots at Gandhi, killing him on the spot. Gandhi's assassination was justified because he employed controversial protest methods, he defied British Rule, and he combined conflicting religions which caused confusion in his community. Many may say that Gandhi did many great things, but those positives are outweighed by the negatives. To begin with, Gandhi continuously employed controversial and illegal methods to protest the injustices that his people faced. For example, Gandhi led a satyagraha due to the prohibition of salt exportation to India from countries other than Britain. According to This Day in History, "Gandhi set out from Sabarmati with 78 followers on a 241–mile march to the coastal town of Dandi on the Arabian Sea. There, Gandhi and his supporters were to defy British policy by making salt from seawater" (paragraph 3). This action was literally illegal. Similarly in 1920, America banned the production and distribution of alcohol. However, many individuals decided to make and distribute alcohol or have it imported. They were called bootleggers.

Gandhi was born and raised in Porbandar, India on October 2, 1869 into a family of a privileged caste (Gandhi & Desai, 1927). He was raised by a father who was the Chief Minister of Porbandar and a mother of great devotion to the Hindu religion, and he was given thorough educational opportunity, which led to his attainment of a law degree (HISTORY, 2015). While traveling to begin a new position at an Indian law firm in Natal, South Africa, Gandhi experienced racial bias and color discrimination as he was thrown from a first–class train carriage (despite having a valid ticket) for refusing to move (Gandhi & Fischer, 2002). Witnessed injustices and racial discriminations such as this went on to fuel Gandhi's activism in a fight against segregation and political oppression for the people of India. As stated by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, we can analyze the effectiveness of Gandhi's leadership by observing certain practices that he displayed. These practices include: inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, model the way, enable others to act, and encourage the heart (Northouse, 2013).

However one of his greater accomplishments would be becoming the leader of an Indian Independence movement against British rule. Although Gandhi had no locality in the governmental field he was a significant figure in India's struggle for sovereignty. Gandhi was raised by his father Karamchand who was prime minister and his deeply religious mother Pultiblai in Porbandar, a small city in the Kathiawar Peninsula. His mother was so religious to the point where she visited temples daily and often encouraged Gandhi to do the same. His household practiced Vaishnavism which was the worship of the Hindu god Vishnu. He was the youngest out of four other children and the son of his father's last wife. Growing up he was a very tranquil boy. Although he disliked sports, he was a decent student in the classroom. Porbandar's educational provisions were extremely limited. Children in his classroom had to write the alphabet in the dirt with their fingers. His childhood dream was to study medicine but his father persuaded him to study law instead. At age 13 his unanticipated marriage to teenage wife Kasturba caused him to skip his last year of school. In september 1888 he went to England to study law but before leaving he promised his mother to become vegetarian. However Gandhi never adapted to the English lifestyle. His english colleagues encouraged him to become even more interested in Hindu writings and in doing so Gandhi came to appreciate Hinduism more and began to explore other religions as well. Gandhi decided to return to India where he successfully practiced law in Bombay and Rajkot and excelled as a lawyer for the prince of Porbandar. Soon Gandhi was presented with the opportunity to go to South Africa. Once he arrived in South Africa he became immediately repulsed by the way white settlers treated Indians. Gandhi spent 20 years purging South Africa's rebels of their sickly habits and encouraged them to take steps toward showing they were worthy to be citizens. Finally the Indians in that country were granted citizenship rights. While in South Africa Gandhi also began to study religion even more ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

What Ghandi did in terms of opening the minds of the people of India is almost analogous to what Christ did to open the minds of the people around him. With all that can be said about Ghandi, I would like to focus upon his economic impact in Britain and India. Britain’s self–glorifying empire building was a great hindrance on the Indian economy.

Ghandi saw how England was able to railroad the Indian population with its strangle hold on the cotton market. Ghandi hand–spun his own cloth and inspired others to do as well. By making and using their own cotton the Indian people were protesting the British way of doing things. Ghandi, and his followers, rejected Western style clothing because they had strong feelings of nationalism and proclaimed they were not westerners, thus they would not wear their style of clothing. The Western style of clothing was just one of many things Ghandi rejected while he was developing into the man that we remember. Had Ghandi accepted the traditional Western style clothing he would not have been able to reach all Indians since a large number of Indians could not afford British clothes. Ghandi’s policy of non–cooperation and peaceful disobedience is one that would be very difficult to follow through with. I don’t think I could be able to do what Ghandi did. I do believe that peaceful protest is a very effective means of getting what you want. When people see a group protesting in a non–violent fashion and then they see that group beaten to the ground by police, it tends to build public support for those in protest.

People who practice civil disobedience are people who would fight for what they believe is wrong and unfair through nonviolent actions, like the civil rights movement. Some people who are known for practicing civil disobedience were Mohandas K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., but another person who was also involved with the concept of civil disobedience was Malcolm X. Malcolm X had different thoughts about civil disobedience. Although he had different ways to approach problems, he also believed that people should oppose to unjust laws just like Gandhi and King did. While Gandhi and King believed that those problems should be solved peacefully no matter how difficult it would be, Malcolm X believed that it would not work if people fought violence with nonviolence. All three of them, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X had shown their thoughts about nonviolent resistance through their speeches or letters. Although Malcolm X had an argument I agree with, I think Gandhi and King had stronger arguments. When most people hear the word civil disobedience or the concept of civil disobedience, many people will think about Mohandas K. Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr.. Mohandas J. Gandhi was someone who fought for Indians rights. Gandhi led a Satyagraha campaign for Indians. This Satyagraha campaign was the idea of nonviolence resistance. This shows that he supports the concept of civil disobedience. Gandhi was a leader who led people to, "hold to the principles of nonviolent resistance even in the face of violent tactics by those in power" (On Nonviolent Resistance speech). Here, Gandhi encouraged his followers and supporters to be nonviolent when they encounter problems. For example, when people threatens them violently, Gandhi wants them to protest quietly and not harm them. He believed that when you fight them violently, there would not be a victory because you are harming them, you are becoming like them.
