Lokmanya Tilak was born at Chummakachu Lane (Ranjani Aaleea) in Chikhalgaon, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra to a Chitpavan Brahmin family. His father, Mr.Gangadhar Tilak was a famous schoolteacher and a Sanskrit scholar. Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a bright child and very good at mathematics. The problems the teacher gave to work our on paper, Bal would do them mentally and give the answer. He also had a sense of fairness and justice from very early age. He was very independent minded and did not falter at expressing his opinions. One day the teacher came to class and found peanut shells on the ground. “Who ate peanuts in the class and create this mess?” asked the teacher. No one came forward. “Well, if no one wants to come forward, the whole class …show more content…
Tilak wrote a scathing article in his newspaper and quoted Gita “no blame could be attached to anyone who killed an oppressor without any thought of reward”. Following this, on 22 June, Rand and another British officer Lt. Ayerst were shot and killed by the Chapekar brothers and their other associates. Tilak was charged with incitement to murder and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. When he emerged from prison, he was revered as a martyr and a national hero and adopted a new slogan, "Swaraj (Self-Rule) is my birth right and I shall have it" with which he roused a sleeping nation to action, making Indian people aware of their plight under a foreign rule. Eventually Tilak was jailed by the British for his “seditious” writings. This imprisonment did not dampen Tilak’s enthusiasm and the fire of patriotism kindled by him began to burn more and more fiercely. By that time he was the unquestioned leader of the Indians — the uncrowned king. Thus he was known as the Tilak Maharaj and his many admirers also named him Lokmanya, which means “admired by the people.” But it’s important to note that Lokmanya Tilak was not just a revolutionary, he was a great scholar as well. Besides his radical political activities, Tilak was very much interested in Indian history and culture. Because he was an Indian nationalist, Tilak was particularly interested in the ancient sacred literature — The Vedas — as the earliest document of the Aryan Hindus and the oldest writings in the
Once upon a time there was a hero named Dustin Pellerin and his job was to make people happy and unangry all the time. Everybody thanked him for it except one person. Captain Buttface and he made all the people angry and mad and sad, but Dustin would always make it alright. Now one day it was the perfect summer day and all the kids were having fun, but Captain Buttface was not having it.

So he ask them what was wrong and they said captain Buttface made them upset. Dustin said “i'm sorry ill buy you an ice cream cone how about that”? The kids said “yes please” and Dustin said
He was considered the beacon of hope for the oppressed and is to thank for India’s freedom today
Throughout modern history, Britain’s exponential growth inevitably affected the future of many nations in the contemporary world- in particular, the culturally intertwined state of India. Even in the initial stages of colonisation, India was forcefully occupied by the British East India Company; however, it was not until 1858 that a dictatorship was officially announced and the nation was forced to regard England as 'the true homeland'. Amidst societal unease and a growing discontent with the British rulers by the poor peasants, India's emancipation seemed inevitable in order for the nation to truly progress. In effect, a revolutionary leader spawned; Mohandas Gandhi. His great philosophical mind held innovative ideas which were instrumental in the achievement of Indian Independence- with his thoughtful ideologies and beliefs paving the way for oppressed Indians to ultimately unite against British imperialism. Consequently, this resulted in the monumental Satyagraha campaign that triumphed successfully against the British authorities.
Mrs. Collins addressed the 6th grade Science class with the most uplifting positive attitude that anyone could have. Every day she came to class she always had candy and snacks sitting on her desk for students to enjoy when they were on their best behavior or if students participated. Everyone insisted on behaving and participating just so they could get a treat. One day Mrs. Collins called on a young boy whose name is Mark, but everyone else addressed him by meanie mark. Mrs. Collins asked Mark if he would like to come to the front of the class and demonstrate the Mentos and coca cola project. Mark did not say anything the first time. The second time she asked he murmured something, no one could not hear what he said. He set in the far back left corner of the classroom by himself. No one wanted to sit next to Mark for he intimidated everyone that he came across. He always wore black and he never spoke to anyone no matter how nice they were and he always had his head down. Mark was a loner. Furthermore
Furthermore, Gandhi spent years in London as a student of law, where he further explored vegetarianism and began his “intellectual awakening, his moral maturation and the opening of his mind to spiritual questions” (34) and concerned himself with politics. Gandhi then went on to South Africa from 1893 to 1914 where many Indians were residing. Arnold recounts his various anti-racism strategies, and reveals how Gandhi acquired his title as the mahatma or “great soul”. South Africa is also where he began his non-violent methods of dealing with racial discrimination laws and Hind Swaraj, which is “Indian self rule”, against the British. He fought for the rights of Indians in Africa, especially against General Smuts’ plans “of stopping their immigration to South Africa”(60) using satyagraha, “truth force or struggle for truth”, campaigns. But these campaigns did not work to the full degree, as there was still “anti-Indian prejudice” (60).
Before all of his, Gandhi was born on October 2nd 1869, in Porbandar, Kathiawar, India which was at the time apart of the British empire. He had what seemed to be a short childhood, marrying at thirteen years old in an arranged marriage with Kasturba Makanji. This soon caused his early rebel-teen years which was, “smoking, eating meat, and stealing change from household servants.” (Biography.com Editors 1). He had little interest in school, but kept average grades due to his father’s expectations in his academics. He went on to study western culture in London, England for three years and struggled through his studies. While staying there he started reading a variety of sacred texts about different religions, learning about the different cultures and beliefs of the world. Although he had a hard and difficult early life, he still came through to only break through bigger barriers in his future.
Gandhi, in the story showed how if people can come together, how strong we could be together.
Today in cafeteria we had cheez-its and when we were eating someone through a cheezit at the teacher. When that teacher turned around it was no other than Mr.L he was the most meanest teacher in the entire school.
Once upon a time there was a school. It was SO boring. The teacher was also not that smart. “What is 65+5 again.” But there was a student that could not stand it so he made a plan to escape. His name is Phil Eggtree. Since the teacher was so puzzled by the problem he went right out without the teacher knowing. In the hallway there was Richy the hall pass guy. Richy asked Phil “Do you have a hall pass? If you don’t, scaddle”. So Phil went back to the other hallway whispering to himself “Whatever.” and thought of another plan. But all he could think of is looking inside all of the lockers he can open. He didn’t know why that was the first thing that pop in his head but it worked. He found the hall pass in a yellow locker. So he went back to Richy.He
“Generations to come, it may be”, Einstein once said about Gandhi, “will scarcely believe that such one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon earth.” Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, more commonly known as “Mahatma” (meaning “Great Soul”) was a spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement, who was born on 2 October 1869. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha – resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total nonviolence – which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is known as the Bapu (Father) and also referred as the father of nation in India.
Gandhi, a peaceful protester in the early twentieth century, was protesting the unethical governing of India by the British, similar to the natives of the Congo who were controlled by the Belgians; the singular difference being Gandhi was educated enough to revolt, unlike the Congolese. Gandhi also put the needs of others before his own, congeneric to Paul Farmer. His eventual assassination mirrors Kurtz’s death, not in the manner of how it happened, but rather what they died for. Both died for their passion; Kurtz’s being wealth and power and Gandhi’s being peace and equality. These two books aided the realization of why Gandhi did what he did- passion. The passion needed to fast for twenty-one days, own less than ten things, endure level headed when aggressively attacked, and to go to jail a multitude of times for nonviolent protests must be immense. The actions of Farmer and Kurtz exhibit that passion will drive a person to perform seemingly irrational things; whether it is becoming the god of native savages or pouring millions of dollars into a war-torn, disease-ridden country passion is the driving
Chingis Khan’s name is widely regarded to be synonymous with bloodshed and conquest. His legacy is widely regarded as one of barbarism and cruelty, with little in the way of redeeming qualities. While there is no doubt that the great khan was often brutal, that is not the sum total of the man in any way. Since history gets most of its information from those he conquered, the true story of the man is much more nuanced and complex then what is generally known. We will endeavor to explore the totality of the man to determine his true character. Not only did the laws he established (called the Yassa) mandate absolute freedom of religion and religious tolerance, but also equality of women. Something that was widely unknown in his time. It is for these reason that I have chosen to write about him. Next, we will study a person who is widely considered to be the greatest modern leader of the Indian people, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, know more commonly as Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi conceived and led a campaign of civil disobedience expressed in nonviolent resistance to what he regarded as unjust laws, that eventually led to the end of the British colonial
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (also know as Mahatma, meaning “Great Soul”) is celebrated as the father of the Indian independence movement, and the
Mohandas Karmchand Gandhi was born during the British rule in India on October 2, 1869. Gandhi in the year of 1888 was sent to England to pursue law, where he developed interest in the philosophy of nonviolence as expressed in the holy Bhagawad Gita, a scared text of Hindu scriptures. However after passing the bar, he found little accomplishment in his attempt to practice law in India, which is when he accepted a position in South Africa, where he assisted on a lawsuit. (Mohandas Gandhi, 2015)
The researcher understood the specific theme chosen and was a bit au-fait with the topic, because she had a keen interest in Gandhi and all his work. In an age where violence is on the increase Gandhi’s message of non-violence is needed. It is the researchers hope that this IA will reach a wide cross section of people and will effect a change. Gandhi’s views on issues like untouchability are deeply dealt with. Never anywhere Gandhi’s views about untouchability were effectively heard. But, in this book they were dealt in detail with lots of arguments and convincing proofs of why untouchability is sin. Even his co-living with the untouchables and the resistance he faced for that is discussed. His views on religion, nationality, his movements like civil-disobedience, are also clearly shown. Even his opinions on many religions were discussed in deep; a striking
