Shortly after, negotiations between the British, the Congress Party, and the Muslim League began over the dispute of Indian home rule. Britain would grant India its independence but made it clear that the country would be split into two dominions. Gandhi did not like the idea of splitting India this way, but eventually agreed; hoping this new independence would aid in internal peace for Hindus and Muslims. But, just as he had feared, massive riots broke out. Gandhi pushed for the Hindus and Muslims to live peacefully together which would result in the undertaking of a hunger strike. The strike would continue until the riots would come to a halt in Calcutta. Just a few months later, Gandhi would carry out his last fast in the efforts to bring about peace in the city of Delhi. On January 30th, 1948, twelve days after the fast ended, Mohandas Gandhi would be shot to death on his way to an evening prayer session. The very next day, about one million of Gandhi’s followers would follow his …show more content…
Each led in a way that was commanding and influential. And both were very brave for standing up for what they believed in. While one is remembered for the great amount of peace he brought to the world, the other is remember for the massive amount of distress he placed on our country as well as many others. But, each proved to be strong leaders in our society. The legacy they have left behind continues to shape the way our world operates today. I will leave you with this, “Leadership is not a position or a title, it is an action and an example.” There is a leader somewhere in all of us.

The Cabinet Mission sent by the British government proposed for the bifurcation of India along communal lines which Gandhi vehemently protested.

History has shown many times that a single human being is capable of vast influence among people and/or a society, especially for religious purposes. Generally, when people think about influential leaders tied to a religion, they think of the great leaders that strived for peace and equality for all, such as Mahatma Gandhi. Justly, the big religious figures who were not so great for the world are often not given any credit for being the influential, strong leaders that they were, such as Osama Bin Laden. Obviously no one wants to give props to someone who negatively impacted the world but many times these evil leaders are very similar to their opposites. Morals must be disregarded to make this comparison but it is worth making. As previously mentioned, the comparison going to be made is of polar opposites; Mahatma Gandhi and Osama Bin Laden. They both greatly influenced and affected the world based on actions they took because of their religious beliefs. One practiced Ahimsa, who preached non-violence, and the other one Jihad, who fought a war with non-believers. But which of their two messages was more successful; non-violence or violence? Not successful in regards to humanity or morals, but in influence, leadership, and how long their message resonated. Both religious figures will be evaluated from their beginnings in order to see all their influences and intentions, as well as the situations they were put in that pushed them to make the moves the did.

But they both are good in different ways. Gandhi inspired India to peacefully protest against Great Britain’s rule while Mandela became the first black president of South Africa and stopped segregation there. This will show why Jawaharlal Nehru’s Eulogy For Mahatma Gandhi is better than Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom in persuading the reader that their person is a better supporter of human rights.
Death. A strong topic, frequently but solemnly discussed. However, when I read Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”, I was immediately captivated by the new angle brought to my attention regarding death. While the topic of death is usually associated with either sympathy or horror, Poe succeeded in portraying a feeling caught between the two; and at the same time bringing forth new feelings I would never thought to consider regarding death. These feelings reflect a sorrow so deep into a psychological madness, a feeling that the pain death brings has ruined one forever. After analyzing this poem I came to the conclusion that Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” demonstrates that the sorrow the death of a loved one brings will stay with you forever. Poe communicated this theme through abstract language , tone, and allusion.

Eventually Gandhi helped pave the way for India’s independence however it wasn’t all over. India began to divide between Muslim’s and Hindu’s and it was settled that the North and Eastern parts of India would be given to Muslim’s and called Pakistan and Hindu’s would be left with the rest of India as their homeland.
