Gandhi

GANDHI

By Robyn S.

Gandhi was born in Porbander,Gujarat, India October 2,1869. He grew up with his parents as slaves. He took school near Rajkot. His father was a prime minister for a local ruler. Gandhi was a great person because he took on ahimsa, that is total non-voilence. Gandhi lead India to an independant world. He led a nation wide campaign for the poor people. Gandhi was assassined on January 30,1948 by Nathuram Godse. Gandhi was walking to a praying meeting right before he got shot. The meeting took place at Birla House in New Delhi. Some called him a leader some probably never even liked him for that matter but hey no one can be liked by everyone. Some that liked him called him Bapu that means father of the nation. Gandhi learned by his own mistakes. Some believe that his last words were “oh god.” Well back to when he was alive he was arrested on March 10th. Gandhi had many principals truth, nonviolence, vegetarianism, brahmacharya,simplicity,and best of all faith.He held campaigns against landlords , he seems very powerful but he’s not. He was an important person though.Gandhi was introduced to Indian issues by Gopal Krishna Gokhale. One of the campaigns were most succsessful it had about 60,000 people there.( now that’s alot of people.)

Well hope this is some help to you.

I learned alot about GANDHI but most of the information was from websites and Mr .Hetherington. This ” project” was supposed to teach kids about Gandhi and maybe it will.

So keep your eyes peeled for more projects so you can learn a thing or two…
