Mahatma Gandh1

1) Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869 in western India and went to London to study law, but had an unremarkable early career. 2) Two incidents of discrimination against Gandhi while traveling, being removed from a train and beaten by a conductor, prompted him to begin advocating for nonviolence and civil rights in India. 3) Through peaceful protests and civil disobedience, Gandhi helped lead India to independence from British rule in 1947, but was assassinated by a Hindu extremist in 1948 at the age of 78.

MAHATMA GANDHI: But His man instead.
Teaching can’t Die from Three Bullets
By Josphine Conny Anak Rabong

Have you ever across your mind that what is the difference among
the weapons of Mahatma Gandhi and Hitler? What did you think?
Are they being different by the use of technology or military? For
me, Mahatma Gandhi is being different by justice and peace. He
lies on his rule ‘I never lie’ or ‘walk on the line of truth’ making him
slightly different from the other well-known world leaders.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, is the youngest son of Karamchand


Gandhi and Putlibai. He was born on October 2, 1869 in Porbander,
a small seaside town in the Kathiawar peninsula of western India.

The life of Mohandas was not extraordinary and constructive.

is significantly overwhelmed with Gandhi’s pop idol.

I like one of his famous quotes which are ‘whenever you confront
with an opponent, conquer him with love’ and ‘if enemy gives you
harm then give him a smile’. His quotes have make sense in my
life. I still remember when my boss scolding me which I do not
know what mistake that I have makes that I nearly loss my temper.
But then, I suddenly remember his above quotes and I said ‘thank
you’ to my boss with a smile. He stares at me for a minute than my

Although Mahatma Gandhi has done many things to his people and
nation, still there are somebody out there wanted him to die. Soon
after Gandhiji won freedom for India he was shot at three times at
point-blank range by Nathuram Vinayak Godse, a Hindu extremist.
On Gandhiji’s lips, just before he gave up his last breath, were the
words "Hey Ram!" which means ‘oh god!’.
