Gandhi, The Man Who Changed Everything
Gandhi
The Man Who Changed The Meaning of Peace
By Allie B
Mohandas K. Gandhi, “Who was he?” you may ask. Born on October 2, 1869 in the state of Gujarat, Western India. Gandhi married Kasturbai Makanji at the age of 13. He was sent in 1891 to London, to pursue law. Then he traveled to Southern Africa where he endlessly worked to improve the rights of Indian immigrants. He was frequently jailed because of the protests he led against injustice. After radically changing the life of the immigrants he returned to his wife and children in 1915. Gandhi then took the lead in the struggle to fight for independence from Britain. Gandhi believed to do this in a nonviolent matter. And when the Muslims and Hindus were fighting Gandhi fasted until the fighting ended. Then independence came in 1947, a triumph for Gandhi. Then suddenly after protests against appalling violence, Gandhi was assassinated, at age 79, January 30, 1948. Yet Gandhi still lives with us, with the Hindis the Indian immigrants and people all over the world, Gandhi made a difference. And just think, when you say you don’t have enough time in a day, you have the same amount of time as this one incredible, amazing man, the same amount of time.
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”
-Mohandas K. Gandhi
