Gandhi was born on October 2 ,1869. But what his parents did not know is that he would be one of India’s greatest leaders in achieving freedom from England. Infact ,Ghandi had 4 children of his own but he had an arranged marriage,meaning,he and his wife were chosen for each other. He was married to Kastura Gandhi.They were both only thirteen years old. She was a inspiration to everyone.Especially when Gandhi was arrested for protesting English rule. She was a big factor on Gandhi’s campaign around Africa and India .When he decided to go on his journeys his goal was to see the pain and starving and the poverty of the people and try to correct it. What he wanted was to free India from English rule but without violance.He wanted to make every person safe free and peaceful. Well some of you are asking did Gandhi ever get the nobel peace prize? Well no he did not. One day on his journey he got assasinated and he became peacful and free from British power and as you can see Gandhi was a peaceful man and he helped free India by fasting and different protests of non-violence . I got my information at www.mkgandhi.org  and the movie GHANDI.

                                  Reflection

 I have learned that Gandhi was a rich man but not material rich ,but character rich. His goal was not to have civil or aney kind of war. The only thing he wanted was peace and harmoney but some did not like that so India split up muslim and hindu religions into now India and Packistan.The majority of the Muslim people went to the new country Pakistan.The others, the Hindues stayed in India.This happened in 1947.

      (He was called Mahatma. Meaning Great soul or great one.)
