Mohandas Gandhi was an influential leader for India’s independence, whose acts to gain Indian rights, led to him getting assassinated by Hindus that were against his ideas and motives. As Gandhi moved to South Africa to study law, he experienced racism and South African laws that restricted the rights of Indian laborers. He was removed from a first class railway compartment and thrown off of a train. This was the “moment of truth” that made Gandhi decide to defend his rights as an Indian man and fight injustice. Gandhi formed the Natal Indian Congress (NIC), which drew attention world wide to the struggle Indians were facing in India.

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

Before leading the salt march in India and becoming one of the most well known Indian civil rights activists, Gandhi studied law in London and left for twenty years to pursue being a lawyer in South Africa. While there, Gandhi experienced racism because Indians were looked down upon in South Africa. Once becoming involved in the law, he began to involve himself in helping to reduce racial injustices and became the largest advocate in South Africa for Indian rights. Gandhi’s experiences in South Africa prepared him for and allowed him to become the political influence he was for his people when he returned to India.

Events in South Africa had made Gandhi a very well-known man in India and in 1915 he along with family in tow, arrives in Bombay, India which is where the following scene takes place. I immediately noticed that he was no longer wearing a suit, but instead the traditional clothing of the Indian people. Upon returning to India, the film depicts Gandhi taking on the English once again with the backing of millions of Indian supporters seeking independence from Great Britain. This done by once again forming a non-violent protesting organization. From here the film goes on to show violence brought to Gandhi’s followers, supporters, and the non-violent protestors by officials using force with gunfire, batons, etc. Afterwards, Gandhi was again imprisoned several times in India with one occurrence resulting in a six year sentence.

Bordering India, Tibet has a rich history of religion and the different faiths that developed. However, in the year 779, the Tibetan people adopted Buddhism as the state religion, and worshiped it to the fullest extent. As they developed their system of spirituality, Buddhist ornaments would be used to decorate grand sculptures of Buddha or reverend monks. Each specific ornament was created with careful symbolism and dexterity, each holding its own specific meaning. Circular forms were to represent lotus flowers, a symbol of purity. Abstract lion faces with human hands above the lotuses were symbolic to supernatural powers, and turquoise colors via the stone itself symbolized wisdom of the natural blue sky and the opacity of the earth. These decorations in itself, when seen on a sculpture of a Buddhist leader, symbolized the submission of the natural and the supernatural to that leader.

When we hear the word ‘India’, the first thing that comes to mind is Mahatma Gandhi. The word ‘Mahatma’ is a literal translation to: great sage, a saint, a person to be considered as a messiah (Gandhi, 2011, P4). Descriptions such as freedom fighter, warrior for justice and activist are just three popular terms that describe Mohandas Gandhi today. But are all these descriptions true? Mahatma Gandhi is revered by mainstream opinion as a Jesus like figure. The media and in particular, Richard Attenborough (Gandhi 1982), portray Mohandas as the epitome of perseverance, peace and courage. On the contrary, the film Gandhi, is a shockingly one-sided depiction of the Indian independence movement, which fails to accurately depict history and correctly acknowledge the unnecessary loss of life caused in the process. Evidence today emphatically refute claims of Gandhi’s ‘egalitarian’ and ‘pious’ persona with several historical sources and texts detailing his hypocrisy, stubbornness and blatant perversions of equality.

Gandhi was a civil rights leader in India who began a revolution through non-violent protests, boycotts, and hunger strikes. According to “Satyagraha: Gandhi’s Legacy”, “Gandhi’s work inspired large-scale global change. Resistance to British involvement in South Africa and in India helped to inspire a movement of decolonization all over the world”. This triggered a string of civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr, Cesar Chavez, Malala Yousafzai, and Nelson Mandela. Additionally, the author of “Mahatma Gandhi: Father Of The Nation” states, “Mahatma Gandhi is revered in India as the Father of the Nation” (Singh). In light of this, the Constitution of Free India conferred the title of Father of the Nation upon Gandhi. Moreover, the author of “Mahatma Gandhi: Father of the Nation” asserts, “Mahatma Gandhi crystallized about him the living forces of the soil” (Singh). Gandhi had such a big impact on the Indian revolution and Free India that his soul is “embedded” in the land and he is seen as the father Free India and cemented peaceful protest as a mean for political change.

Gandhi’s Hindu ethnic background greatly influenced the man that he became in many different ways. He was once a lawyer that would use what he had learned to judge right from wrong. Once he looked deeper into his faith, he had realized that the decisions that he made were a reflection of his inner self. When he returned to India, he had abandoned his sense of English fashion and stuck to the dress of his home country. He did not oppose English clothes, he just saw them as unnecessary, and prefered the garments of his homeland.

The period of India’s British occupation has often been stereotyped as one of perpetual luxury, wealth and pleasure. Extravagant living, expensive commodities and elaborate dwellings with servants permeate the image of the British Raj. Even though these may be the cases in many instances, it should not distract from the periods of political confusion, the strains put on family life and extreme racism towards both the British and Indian; concepts that have been masked by the façade of Imperialist wealth and grander living in comparison to the ‘grey’ atmosphere of Britain. This report aims to reveal a sense of living within the Raj after the Mutiny of 1857 and thus convey an idea as to the turmoil and pressures of administrators and their families,

Clothing Gandhi is a book describing not only Gandhi’s influence on India, but a vast array of topics relating to khadi cloth. It is only a coincidence that Gandhi’s connection to khadi is one which became a turning point in Indian Symbolism. Lisa Trivedi’s book, written in 2007, discusses the influence of a single industrial material to walk the reader through her narrative. In her introduction she provides us a map of the book’s lay out and describes how each chapter builds off the previous chapter and she continues to evaluate India’s personal connection to khadi. The book helps to connect the people’s identity to the national fabric that bound political organizing, social protesting and solidarity to the Indian people and way of life free of British dominion.

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
