Gandhi
To be measured as one of the most influential men that have graced the planet with his presence is one of the most crowning achievements a person’s memory can have. Gandhi left such a legacy in which he can be considered one of these chosen few. Gandhi was a simple man, a man of God, a man of himself, and most importantly a man of the people. His sole purpose in his latter part of life was to achieve what every person on the planet deserves and must demand, self rule. Though Gandhi’s messages were very clear and clean cut, the way he went about coming to the conclusions he did was quite intriguing and at times confusing to the average person I imagine. Throughout his life, Gandhi surrounded himself with religious people, Christians, Hindus, and Muslims alike, and he was capable of doing something a vast majority of the world has not been able to do for thousands of years; see all religions and people as equal no matter what. His purpose of life can be best described as a lifelong mission to bring about change in society, a change in government, social order, and religious toleration. The reason I believe that Gandhi was so proficient in getting Indian and just people to follow his teachings were that he was not out to

In a sense, Gandhi’s life as a whole was a response to evil powers at be and suffrage. In South Africa Indians suffered the humiliation of having to carry a pass everywhere and not being able to share the pavement with the British. So Gandhi led his people to equality. He gained the respect for all Indians in the eyes of the British government in Africa. Gandhi understood religious ideals of nonviolence to mean that one’s hatred and ignorance of another would eventually turn into respect, and he was absolutely correct. In India Gandhi identified the poverty in which Indians lived in due to their oppression in commerce. Garments worn by Indians were sold by the British, so Gandhi suggested to everyone to produce one’s own clothes. This would not only save money and hurt the British Empire’s control, but it would also give someone a feeling of accomplishment in which so many subjugated Indians needed. Gandhi’s most profound response to suffering was that of the march to the Indian Ocean for salt. India’s chief export was salt, for it was the main purpose of the British being there. If Indians were to manufacture and disperse their own salt, a huge sum of money was taken out of the British treasury, not to mention their power over the people was limited. His main reason to do all of this was that every one person is a child of God. Under God, in all reli
