India’s history of events start at 2000 B.C. and keeps going. India is a very historical place. India was also home to a great leader Gandhi. Gandhi’s family was very inportant also. His daughter was the first woman prime minister in India. Also his wife Kasturbaitried to help the poor in India and died in gandhis arms.

Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869. When I first studied Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi. well he was just another person. Then I realized as I kept reading about him that he was a very good leader and I understood what was so special about him. The thing that made him so special was that he was a loyal and great leader. Also he believed in indian freedom. Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi wanted all of india to be ruled by the indians’. mohandas died on January 30, 1948 when he was illegidly shot 3 times in the knee. After he died everyone went into pain and shock.let’s just say he ment alot to his people.

Just recently a young woman of only 28 years old at the time of her death was killed in Iraq. People say she was far better known in iraq because of her establishment in being fearless and to succeed on her task to draw attention to civilians who have been killed or wounded in Afghanastan and Iraq. about two years ago she set up a organization called the campaign for ” victims of conflict”. Patrick leahy a D-VT as a result of her lobbying pursuaded congress to approve a $20 million compensation to help wounded civilians of this conflict. it was very painful for many people in both countries to think back to the tragic road bomb that took her out of their lives. the us military refuses to tally any deaths and most go unnamed. Yet almost everyday there are one or more people killed assassinated, or kidnaped . these are rarley reported yet they affect the lives of the victims families.
