  3. MAHATMA GANDHI Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in the town of Porbander in the state of what is now Gujarat on 2 October 1869.  He had his schooling in nearby Rajkot, where his father served as the adviser or prime minister to the local ruler. At 13 he was married to a girl named kasturi bai. In 1888, Gandhi travelled to London, England, to study law at University College London. He started many movements and at last made this country free from british rule. We all remember him today even for all his great works although he died on 30 january,1948 but he will never die in our hearts. Chirag

  4. History The Indian classics, especially the stories of Shravanaand king Harishchandra, had a great impact on Gandhi in his childhood. He writes: "It haunted me and I must have acted Harishchandra to myself times without number." Gandhi's early self-identification with truth and love as supreme values is traceable to these epic characters.In May 1883, the 13-year-old Mohandas was married to 14-year-old Kasturbai Makhanji(her first name was usually shortened to "Kasturba") in anarrangedchild marriage, according. " However, as was prevailing tradition, the adolescent bride was to spend much time at her parents' house, and away from her husband. In 1885, when Gandhi was 15, the couple's first child was born, but survived only a few days. Gandhi's father, Karamchand Gandhi, had also died earlier that year.Mohandas and Kasturba had four more children, all sons: Harilal, born in 1888; Manilal, born in 1892; Ramdas, born in 1897; and Devdas, born in1900.

  5. Civil rights movement in south Africa Gandhi spent 21 years in South Africa, where he developed his political views, ethics and political leadership skills. Indians in South Africa were led by wealthy Muslims, who employed Gandhi as a lawyer, and by impoverished Hindu indentured labourers with very limited rights. Gandhi considered them all to be Indians, taking a lifetime view that "Indianness" transcended religion and caste . In South Africa, Gandhi faced the discrimination directed at all coloured people. He was thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg after refusing to move from the first-class. He protested and was allowed on first class the next day. Travelling farther on by stagecoach, he was beaten by a driver for refusing to move to make room for a European passenger. In another incident, the magistrate of a Durban court ordered Gandhi to remove his turban, which he refused to do.These events were a turning point in Gandhi's life and shaped his social activism and awakened him to social injustice. After witnessing racism,prejudice and injustice against Indians in South Africa, Gandhi began to question his place in society and his people's standing in the British Empire Shreya bajaj

  6. SHREYA BHARDWAJ Gandhi led Indians in protesting the national salt tax with the 400 km (250 mi) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and later in demanding the British to immediately Quit India in 1942, during World War II. He was imprisoned for that and for numerous other political offenses over the years. Gandhi sought to practice non-violence and truth in all situations, and advocated that others do the same. He saw the villages as the core of the true India and promoted self sufficiency; he did not support the industrialization programs of his disciple Jawaharlal Nehru. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with yarn he had hand spun on a charkha. His political enemy Winston Churchill ridiculed him as a "half-naked fakir."[4] He was a dedicated vegetarian, and undertook long fasts as means of both self-purification and political mobilization.

  7. Role in world war-1 In April 1918, during the later part of World War I, the Viceroy invited Gandhi to a War Conference in Delhi. Perhaps to show his support for the Empire and help his case for India's independence, Gandhi agreed to actively recruit Indians for the war effort. In a June 1918 leaflet entitled "Appeal for Enlistment", Gandhi wrote. "To bring about such a state of things we should have the ability to defend ourselves, that is, the ability to bear arms and to use them.Gandhi's war recruitment campaign brought into question his consistency on nonviolence as his friend Charlie Andrews confirms, "Personally I have never been able to reconcile this with his own conduct in other respects, and it is one of the points where I have found myself in painful disagreement."Gandhi's private secretary also had acknowledged that "The question of the consistency between his creed of 'Ahimsa' (non-violence) and his recruiting campaign was raised not only then but has been discussed ever since.

  8. Non violence of Gandhi ji He saw the villages as the core of the true India and promoted self sufficiency he did not support the industrialization programs of his disciple Jawaharlal Nehru.He wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with yarn he had hand spun on a charkha.He was a dedicated vegetarian, and undertook long fasts as means of both self-purification and political mobilization.Inhis last year, unhappy. 30 January is observed as Martyrs' Day in India. The honorific Mahatma or "Great Soul", was applied to him by 1914. In India he was also called Bapu or "Father". He is known in India as the Father of the Nation; his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and world-wide as the International Day of Non-Violence. If asked to give a message to the people, he would respond, "My life is my message.“ Abhishekbrennan
