Gandhi is the issue (or topic) I have decided to investigate.

“I am talking about Gandhi!”
“Hold up! Who he be.”
Well I will tell you. Gandhi was given the name, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi at birth. He was born on October 2, 1869 in India. His family was a very religious they followed a branch of Hinduism that supports nonviolence and tolerance between religious groups. When he is 13 he marries a girl named Kasturba. When he was 18 he went to England to study law in London. In 1893 he joined a firm in India that has interest in helping South Africa.

When Gandhi went to work in South Africa. When he was there he realized the inequality and when he was ridding in the first class of a train and he was kicking out for not being white, he then realized he needed to be a leader for Indians. In South Africa he came up with his theory of satyagraha was a theory of non violent resistance. He was a seeker of the truth which he planed to obtain with nonviolent. Ghandi said “freedom is only freedom when it is indivisible” this means that if you have to say one specific type of people are free then there being singles out and aren’t free. Gandhi went back to India in 1915 and only left it once more in 1931 when he went to Europe.

Gandhi returned to India in 1915 and he supported the British hoping that they would help with Indians freedom. Gandhi led labor reforms that embarrassed the British. In 1919 the Indian nationalist had a nonviolent protest to protest the forced use of Indian soldiers and the war tax forced by Britain. Over 300 protesters were killed by British soldiers. Gandhi had been support Brittan in hope of partial freedom but after the massacre he urged for nothing but full independence. Gandhi then started his first mass civil disobedience against British rule.

In 1921 Gandhi gains complete executive authority, he also quits his civil disobedience. The next year Gandhi is arrested then set free 2 years later in 1924. Over the next couple of years he gets arrested and released. He was assassinated by a Hindu extremist on his way to a prayer meeting. He was shot dead, he was only 78. His death not only affected India but also the whole world.

Britain came to India in 1619 and India got its independence in 1947. This could not have happened without Gandhi and his non violent revolts.

He wasn’t just loved by India. He was loved by many others he influences still show today. His quote” What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?” is one I found that I liked because people don’t care what’s happening if it’s not helping them. His quotes and actions still effect us today. He was really cool too.
