Mohandas Gandhi

"Hate the sin and not the sinner is a precept which though easy enough tounderstand is rarely practiced, and that is why the poison of hatred spreads in the world."(http://www.sfheart.com/Gandhi.html)

Mohandas Gandhi was born in Porbandar, Gujarat, in North West India, on 2nd October 1869. Gandhi was an Indian nationalist leader, who established his country's freedom through nonviolent revolution. He became a lawyer and returned to India to establish a law practice in Bombay. He then arrived in Durban and found himself treated as a member of an inferior race. He was shocked at the widespread denial of civil liberties and political rights to Indian immigrants. As a lawyer and a political activist he fought discrimination with his principles of truth, nonviolence and courage. What i found that was very interesting he even traveled after his political years, to different areas and taught them about his ways. His acheivement was of him being a hero to his people and not giving up hope on acheiving his goal. I think Gandhi was a very good, true to the heart Hindu. He believed in something and he wanted to teach and have people hear what he has to say. Things do not get done in this world unless people speak up. He did not care about being in jail a couple of times, that was not stopping him. Missing class i was watching the movie on him because i work for blockbuster it is easy for me, anyways watching the movie left me in a maze. I could not believe what this man did and how he did it. For example going on a starvation strike until the violence ended. That was going to the extreme but a person has to do what he or she is going to do to make a point.
