Mohandas GhandiSatyagraha. Meaning force or resolve of truth, Mohandas Gandhi worked and lived by this word. By peaceful, non-violent demonstrations he little by little took back up of the people of Indias love and honor and freed them from British rule. This is his story On October 2, 1869 in Porbandar, India, a region of Queen Victoria, Mohandas Gandhi was born to Kaba Gandhi and his wife. Although his father, Kaba, was the chief Minister for the maharaja of Porbandar, he and his family lived in a small ho hold and belonged to a Hindoo caste of merchants called banjas. As he grew, Mohandas became a small, shy and skinny boy, aghast(predicate) of others opinions. He never spoke out, but although he was never a clever child, others were surprised by his gentleness. At the age of thirteen, he was married to Kastaurbai, a pretty yet strongwilled girl of the same caste. He would flat live with his wife, instead of his mother and father whom he had cared for for so long. forrader this, Mohandas had told lies, had smoked, and had eaten meat, which was strictly forbidden of Hindus. Now, suddenly, he felt guilty and that he had transgress himself and in few ways those who he cared for. So, in desperation, he told his father, and they cried together. 1 year later Kaba Gandhi died. Mohandas was sixteen. At eighteen he traveled to England to written report law and secretly to see for himself what made the English so powerful. He enrolled in a college of law but end after one term. He felt that he didnt fit in, so he analyze the Standard Elocutionist for use and knowledge of proper ettiquitte. After a spell he quit this also because he saw no use anymore. Quitting became a popular theme in his early life. Sometimes he quit because he was bored with some affaire and just grew out of it, or sometimes when he just couldnt accomplish anything.

Everyone was sad, and the Hindu people were ashamed that it was one of them who had killed him. masses began to worship Gandhi in the ways that he had hated. They knew that if he would own been fit to speak a few words before he died he would have said to the people to have mercy on the misguide Godse, but knowing this, they still hanged his assassin. Gandhi once said I have no strength, save what God gives me. I have no federal agency over my country men, save the purely moral. And he more than anyone knew how loose that authority could be. Over time, Mohandas freed India from the British rule, earning rights and respect for his people and a measure place in history. In my opinion, like everyone elses. he was a undischarged man putting others ahead of himself, but above all else wanting, hoping, and dying for peace. BIBLIOGRAPHY Franda, Marcus and Vonetta J.
