At the end of the Second World War, they saw the writing on the wall, and initiated a number of constitutional moves to effect the transfer of power to the sovereign State of India. For the first and perhaps the only time in history, the power of a mighty global empire 'on which the sun never set', had been challenged and overcome by the moral might of a people armed only with ideals and courage.

In Jawaharlal Nehru: Marxism, Capitalism and India’s Future (1941) the prime minister talks about how he grew addicted to political matters of india and western countries.

The general cause of the Indian Independence Movement was India’s desire for independence from British, French and Portuguese Rule. The aim of the movement was “Swaraj, a self-governing India” (Sharma, 2005, p. 22). One, more specific, cause of the Indian Independence Movement took place in 1905 when the province of Bengal was divided into two provinces,

Another example of his unique actions were that he was able to counqer Florida withour provoking any type of fight or war even tho he invaded Spanish Florida in his fight against the seminols. He also wanted to encourage men of the United States to vote becuase most of them did want or didnt care about voting. When he lost his election he decided to make the Democratic Party wich made him so unqie, he aslo fought aginst the " corrupt bargain" the John Quincy Adams Made with Henry clay to win the

When he thought something should be changed he would boycott and start strikes go fix what was wrong. Many people didn't like him and they would tell him hurtful things but he never stopped believing in what was right. He changed the ways of immigrant farm workers and helped them have a better life many people would go to his house and thank him everyday. My hero wanted latinos to have better working conditions in the field and he also wanted them to have better by getting better pay. He wanted them to have better supplies for working and they started a boycott so that workers could get a raise at their work.

His ideology pronounced anti-intellectualism in regards to the qualifications of the average person because he had high hopes for them and did not think they needed specialized training to acquire jobs. (Gienapp 17). He was descended from the frontier as a common man, himself, and he was not exactly elite. He was not educated, he had a poor childhood, and he was also a self-taught lawyer. As president, he wished to preserve the liberties of the people and limit the government's power.

He had a humble beginning and that's what drew people to him. Common man voted for him and he won the elections by popular demand. Sam Patch and his loyal followers called Jacksonians, which were the working class whom were people humble and of the land with simple taste. Nothing like the Whig- the elite “superior” class. The Whig had their own leader by the name Henry Clay who believed America should become “richer, wiser, and more technologically advanced.” The two groups took stand for different reasons but only did the Jacksonians actually shed light to the laws being broken by big factory

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Ho Chi Minh are the leaders of national independent movements from late 19th to early 20th century. Both of them defeated the colonial rulers and won national independence.

Throughout his public life, he embodied for many people an ideal of persistence, tolerance and personal strength. In my opinion, it is the combination of these qualities that made him an outstanding person and a globally recognized leader. Neither persistence without strength, nor strength without tolerance would suffice to turn around the life of

This essay will focus on the decolonisation of India by the British Empire and the problems they encountered. It will also aim to bring recognition to the struggle decolonisation brought upon the world after World War II. Pierce states that “after the War concluded, a worldwide process of decolonisation commenced in which Britain granted independence to all of its major colonies, beginning notably in India” (Pierce, 2009). India had struggled with uprisings and conflicts for the many years of British occupation but when Gandhi began sharing his social efforts; the perceptions of colonialism began to change leading to the collapse of the British colonial Empire. Gandhi began changing the lives of regular Indian’s with his popular visions, he also advocated for the people of India in a non-violent

He entered life as one who would live in the privileged class all of his life, but he never seemed to consider himself privileged or above the people. His father was a member of the House of Lords, so he was indoctrinated into politics at an early age. But, he seemed to have an innate knack to understand the inner workings of the political and diplomatic system also. Because of this understanding he would prepare himself for the

Many of these challenges stemmed from Prabhupada’s death in 1977, which “left a young ISKCON shaken”. Although the movement was growing rapidly, it still relied heavily on the charismatic authority of Prabhupada, and his death created deep uncertainties within the organization’s leadership. As the organization scrambled to fill the void in institutional power left by its founder, there was a significant “movement of Indians into local positions of power, which had a [stabilizing influence on] many of the temple-level conflicts and also encouraged a greater degree of Indian participation”. As Indian-Americans continued to take on leadership roles in ISKCON, they began to draw spiritual legitimacy and authenticity from their status as

“The mightier they are, the harder they fall”. This idiom rings true to the core in the case of K M Mani, the doyen of Kerala politics. One of the most powerful figures in contemporary Kerala politics, he was admired across the political spectrum. In fact even hardened political opponents used to call him “Mani sir” in an apparent show of respect. Grapevine goes that even the former President, K R Narayanan addressed him by that name. It will be difficult to believe that the man who had to resign after being in the eye of a storm over a bar bribery scandal had the highest political stock in the state barely a year ago, political parties of various hues, from the left, right, and center of the political spectrum were fighting each other to court him. Everyone was seeing him as a CM prospect. While CPM saw him as the
