Short Note On Gandhi 's Room

Happy that his mother was able to leave the volatile relationship and wondered when she received the letters if “she laughed and held them over a gas burner” in an expressive gesture of freedom (Komunyakaa n.par.).

There’s no doubt about it, that Gandhi was a great mean, out spoken and very influential but he wasn’t always that way. As I was reading I learned that while Gandhi was away at school studying law, his mother who he dearly loved and called a saint had passed yet his family did not tell him of her condition because they knew he would be

How does one free themselves from the hold of another? More importantly, how does one accomplish this without the use of violence? A revolutionary leader whose name was Mahatma Gandhi discovered and implemented a way of how this should be done and did so successfully. His methods included the use of economics to rebel against the British rule while maintaining he religious position. Although Gandhi’s plan of gaining independence for India and all of its people being united was never truly met. He still managed to help India break away from the British and allowed India to gain independence from them. The main principle of Gandhi’s economics was that it required human rights for all and was not about wealth at all. Although Gandhi was successful

Chapter 4 of the book “Gandhi and Beyond” was pretty interesting and fascinating to read and learn about. One of the sections of the chapter that impacted me the most was the section titled Learning about Gandhi found on page 76. In this section, Chavez began to learn about Gandhi and his principles of nonviolence. Chavez admired Gandhi because of his success, his commitment, and his methods of nonviolence such as boycotting and fasting. In Gandhi Chavez found a leader who inspired him to help the poor defeat the rich. Another interesting fact that I learned on this section was that Chavez began to develop nonviolent ideas and believed that in order to practice nonviolent acts one must be prepared for sacrifice. One of the quotes that I really liked on this section was Chavez’s quote found on page 79 which states “Love is the most important ingredient in nonviolent work… Love the opponent… If were full of hatred we can’t do work” (Cortright 79). Using this word Chavez says that in order to become successful and win one must love the opponent. If people begin to use acts of nonviolence against the opponent’s one must not become successful in the movement being created.

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.

Merlin heard his mother 's gasp resound across the near silent room. He grinned, wondering what she was going to think of the next part.

”-Vikrant Parsai The necessities in life are too a very minimal, but some people never conclude their journey to seek wealth. Resources are scarce, and people take anything that they can get their hands on without a care in the world for others that are more desperate. Our greed makes us acknowledge that we do not have as much as we desire, and therefore, it refocuses our attention to gaining wealth rather than tending for our families and being grateful for what we have.
