Indira Gandhi Negative Positive

Mahatma Gandhi changed India’s history forever through disobedience. Even though he disobeyed the law he had a good reason to. India was under the British rule and the people were doing as british were telling them to do because they had no other option. Gandhi was the one who didn’t do as the british said, but instead stood against it because he knew that what they were doing was unfair. As he have said, “A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act”. He disobeyed the british laws to free

Niloufer Bhagwat’s “The Political Relevance and Global Impact of Mahatma Gandhi” conveys her stance on Gandhi’s influence on how different groups of people combated forms of oppression. Bhagwat says “wherever the political, economic, social, and ecological future of humanity and… earth is debated and discussed, Gandhiji with his simple precepts provides a guidance for all generations” (Bhagwat 33). I believe that her argument successfully convinces the reader that the principles Gandhi followed and the strategies he used, non-violent civil disobedience and non-cooperation, not Gandhi himself, left a lasting impact on the world.

Thesis: A true leader, an anti-war activist, and the leader of India’s independence movement, Mohandas Gandhi was a man of great significance.

Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule. He proposed a speech to all of his followers explaining what his resolution was to gain independence, without using violence. Mahatma Gandhi adopts a subtle and affirmative tone while revealing that non violence and the spreading of love is the way to approach this movement for independence. He also portrays his outline for the movement by appealing to the audience's emotions.

She kept reminding people that if they did not have the ability to stand up for their interest, the concessions won would be withdrawn in the future. Indeed, her historical significance rests imperatively on the influence she portended on the youths who changed the nations in 1960s. She is the one who responded to sit-ins through a meeting that led to non-violent coordinating committees of students. She also aided in developing its distinctive anti-hierarchical and democratic ethos as well as its emphasis on developing local leaders and community

The 1984 Sikh riots also known as the Sikh Massacre or the genocide of Sikhs, started after the murder of Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India by her own two Sikh bodyguards. The reason behind this was to take the revenge from Mrs. Gandhi as it was her decision to have an attack on the Golden Temple, one of the biggest holy place of the Sikh community. Her order was named as Operation Blue Star, motivated to take out terrorists who had blocked off themselves inside the temple. (Kundu 2017). As the result of this army attack many of the Sikh buildings of Amritsar were destroyed and some

Out of so many influential individual, the one that I personally admire the most is Mahatma Gandhi. He was the preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. By practicing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for people’s rights across India, or even the world.

Margaret Thatcher became one of the world 's most dominant and well-respected political leaders, as well as one of the most controversial, aggressive, and blunt figure.

Aroused by the massacre of Amritsar in 1919, Gandhi devoted his life to gaining India’s independence from Great Britain. As the dominant figure used his persuasive philosophy of non-violent confrontation, he inspired political activists with many persuasions throughout the world (Andrews 23). Not only was Mahatma Gandhi a great peacemaker, but also his work to achieve freedom and equality for all people was greatly acknowledged. Gandhi’s unconventional style of leadership gained him the love of a country and eventually enabled him to lead the independence movement in India.

There had been a spate of murders by Bhindranwale’s supporters and now they were threatening to disrupt the supply of food throughout the Punjab.” Due to increased political and social tension and a growing sense of disdain amongst people towards her inaction, India’s Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, called out the army to deal with the situation. Between June 3rd and June 8th, 1984 the Indian Military launched Operation Blue Star under the orders of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to regain control of the Harmandir Saheb (Golden Temple) complex and remove Bhindranwale and his armed followers from the complex’s buildings. The Golden Temple is the holiest Sikh gurdwara (place of worship) and is an extremely sacred site in Sikhism. The Indian Army, using tanks, helicopters, armored vehicles and tear gas, successfully defeated the Sikh militants who were surprisingly well-prepared for the attack due to the

Therefore, factors that influenced a countries alignment and choice to pick a side was the economic, political and the security reasons and the benefits that came along with the alignment. For example, at the beginning of the Bandung conference this was the start to the Non-aligned Movement(NAM) to form which gained influence during the Cold war. Thus, the conference stemmed from the idea of the “Third World”, countries which had gained independence prior to the colonialism after world war two. The third world countries wanted to adhere and follow a policy of non-alignment with allies of the First World, the Soviet Union and their allies of

During the interwar era, politicians and governments around the world had self-perceptions of policies, views, and values that would have shaped their states and international interactions. With these politics self-perceptions, it showed to have great instabilities in failing and having issues from their policies and provisions. As with the ‘League of Nations’ international organization formed after world war one. Established a peace-making conference that resulted in

Gandhi back then was a lawyer who was trying to find independence for India. Gaining independence for India wasn’t the only change that Gandhi tried to make but the protest The Salt March also started because 7% of peoples tax went towards salt (#). Unlike the Haitian Revolution, Gandhi refused to tolerate violence among his followers and cancelled demonstrations that resulted in violence (@). The protest was for 24 days and to also ban harvesting salt (#). Gandhi was repeatedly arrested and spent a total of six years in jail, but that only made him more popular (@). You would think someone who got constantly arrested would give up or end up condemning violence, but not Gandhi. His protest was slow but turned out to be very successful because of the results that were made. The results consisted of new constitution approved by Britain, A concession to limited self-government, and finally in 1947 India was declared an independent state (#). Unfortunately later after gaining independence, Gandhi was assassinated for trying to be peaceful and attempt to stop Hindu-Muslim rioting (@). Regardless of the consequences, Gandhi made a huge political transformation that still affects India

“ Here is a task truly of, by and for the world, one that should rally nations. The nature of this task however, must be clearly understood; only then can suitable means for accomplishing it be formulated, only then can the role that the United Nations could and should play be appreciated” ( Wilcox/Haviland, 29). There are many international organizations that have been talked about throughout this semester. One of the most important ones is The United Nations. The United Nations was established October 24, 1945, and has since then been impacting the country. The United Nations main purpose according to the lecture notes is “ to provide a global additional structure through which states can sometimes settle conflicts with less reliance on the use of force , for whole purpose of the United Nations is to provide the globe a forum by which countries may settle disputes through this forum peacefully as opposed to relying on a force which has been the case historically” ( Kopalyan, Module 8). Thus meaning The United Nations was set up to handle problems peacefully rather than going to war to try and solve problems. “Powerful economic as well as political forces are at work to bring about a growing integration of the world community, and the United Nations and its related agencies are uniquely fitted to assist in the task” (Wilcox/Haviland,45). This was some of the reason that the United Nations was created.
