Mahatma_Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi Without question, Mahatma Gandhi is the quintessence of peaceful protest and humanity. He led India to independence from Great Britain and in his 79 years on this planet, he achieved so much more than he could have possibly anticipated. In his Hind Swaraj, or the Indian Home Rule written in 1909, Gandhi explains his concepts of self rule. Gandhi was a firm believer of many things. He gave up practically all of his belongings and clothes, despite coming from a rather wealthy back round. Some of his beliefs are ¡§ahimsa¡¨, or non-violence, truth=god, to be fearless, chastity, character, not fighting injustice is cowardice, fight the system not the people, do not judge others, practice what you preach, and fasting. He practiced all of these beliefs and incorporated all of them in his book in which he wrote on board of a ship during his trip from England to South Africa after a mission. His writings, actions, and presence alone affected the lives of millions. Gandhi used his peaceful, anti-war attitude in a positive way.
