Mental Illness-Personal Narrative

Gandhi is a biopic produced by Richard Attenborough whose lifelong dream was to make the story of the national independence leader’s life into a movie. The movie starts with Mohandas K. Gandhi, played by actor Ben Kingsley, rejecting all material possessions in pursuit of India’s independence. The storyline plays out to highlight important aspect of Gandhi’s life and ends with his assassination, where he utters the famous lines “Oh god.” Critics claim the movie is over exaggerated, however Attenborough does a fine job of bringing a visual of Gandhi’s life into Western eyes. In addition, what could be a bad thing ends up being a good thing for the layman who watches this movie. Attenborough oversimplifies Gandhi’s perspectives and ideas on social justice and religion, which leads to a very simple explanation of Gandhi’s philosophy.

Sometimes she’d come to my regional finals. During the season, Sunday was soup day- she’d make it while we were with dad, zipping up and down the sidelines, and heated it up in that well-scrubbed, large silver pot when we came in from soccer. Some days it was kind of a proper soup, a bit like those Penelope had in her mansion near town, from a real recipe- cream of mushroom, minestrone, or French onion. Never cream of chicken though… the place up in town was quite pricey. Other times it’d just be a Mum’s Mix just the way I liked it, made from whatever scraps and bits and pieces needed to be used up. The ultimate rule to good cooking, she’d say, if you put nice things in it, it can’t possibly turn out nasty. In went the leftover bits of ham, corn cobs, softened tomatoes, the stalk of chives sitting at the back of the fridge, left over herbs from the garden, and a tiny cube of chicken stock. Dad would stomp in, the floor boards creaking as he limped into the kitchen. Grey eyed, and growling with hunger, he’d slurp down the whole without even picking up his spoon, bits and pieces sticking to his unruly black moustache. It was true too, I’ve lived with Mum’s philosophy to this day cooking in the front kitchen overlooking the harbour…it’s still loved by

A few minutes later Mum had ushered me off of her bed and out of her

Gandhi, in the story showed how if people can come together, how strong we could be together.

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

Moreover not only the characters in movies but also real world heroes have risked their lives to save other’s lives. Mahatma Gandhi’s opposition towards the British

Mahatma Gandhi was the primary leader of India’s independence movement and he was the architect of non-violent civil disobedience that influenced the world. Gandhi grew up worshiping the houdini god. He was a shy and unremarkable student. At the age of 18 Gandhi moved to London, England to study law. He returned to India in 1891. Gandhi decided to go to South Africa in 1893. He was quickly appalled by the discrimination and racial segregation. Gandhi was a spiritual leader in protesting. Gandhi would do his protest by doing a fast for 3 or more weeks. I think Madeleine L’engle choose Mahatma Gandhi because he fought for what he believed.

Lets not forget he helped get all Indian women rights. He suffered nights in jail for them. Therefor Gandhi never showed bias, but hoped for a better life for Indians. Gandhi had a grand funeral. His family and the Indian community all gathered and prayed for him.

Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi. The brave idol that embraced nonviolent means of fighting for civil liberties. He was a role model to many and gave millions of citizens their basic rights to life and liberty. The problem is how we are only aware of this story: the story portrayed through Ben Kingsley's enactment of Gandhi for only his accomplishments. This narrative excludes the uncomfortable accounts of Gandhi sexually assaulting women and being a convict of political corruption. Ramesh Rai, a professor at Longwood University, published in the Guardian that “Gandhi took part in

Born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Mr. Gandhi was and is one of the greatest examples of a servant leader. Being a servant leader does not mean a leader becomes a servant. A servant leader thinks of the needs of others when they are leading. So loved was Mr. Gandhi that he became known as Mahatma Ghandi. According to Google, Mahatma is defined as “a person regarded with reverence or loving respect; a holy person or a sage” (Unknown, Definition of Mahatma). Mahatma Gandhi tried to unify his native India strictly by using non-violent methods. His birthday, October 2nd, is a national holiday in India and,

Gandhi," Ghosh himself turns into a piece of the activity. Portraying the outcome of Indira Gandhi's death and the resulting slaughter of Sikhs by Hindu swarms, Ghosh expounds on his little part in guaranteeing the wellbeing of a Sikh couple, who, until it was past the point of no return, declined to trust that they could be the objectives of a crowd's wrath. Be that as it may, in spite of the dramatization of that entry, the heart of the paper lies in the little demonstrations of resistance mounted by standard natives insulted by the gore. His expositions spell out little truth from huge

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism and the prophet of nonviolence in the 20th century, was born, the youngest child of his father's fourth wife, on Oct. 2, 1869, at Porbandar, the capital of a small principality in Gujarat in western India under British suzerainty. His father, Karamchand Gandhi, who was the dewan (chief minister) of Porbandar, did not have much in the way of a formal education but was an able administrator who knew how to steer his way between the capricious princes, their long-suffering subjects, and the headstrong British political officers in power.

This paper posits to discuss in detail the impact of Gandhi and his style of mobilization on the policies and culture of the Indian Subcontinent. Mahatma Gandhi, (1869-1948), was born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in Porbandar, Gujarat, in North West India. His father was an administrator in Porbandar, while his mother was a devout religious personality. Mahatma Gandhi is generally regarded to be the Father of the modern Indian nation, on account of his role in shaping its modern history. Gandhi, an accomplished lawyer and human rights campaigner, initially in South Africa, made his debut into the Indian political scene in 1915. As the foremost leader in the Indian independence movement, Gandhi acquired international repute, and his policy of peaceful civil resistance has over the decades offered inspiration for political movements, and civil rights campaigns across the globe. In addition to developing non-violent strategies for political struggle, he influenced the Indian regeneration program that spearheaded the struggle for Indian independence.

Gandhiji was the greatest man not only of India but to the world. He was the Father of the Nation and we called him “Bapu”.. His
