    The next ingredient that made non-violence work was each leader accepting jail time. Gandhi spent about six and half years in jail but had no complaints about what would happen to him. In Doc.7 it states, “ I did not feel the slightest hesitation in entering the prisoner’s box.” As for Dr.King he was proud that he had come this far for his, but knew the fight wasn't over yet. In Doc.8 it states, “Those who had previously trembled before the law were now proud to be arrested for the cause of freedom.With this feeling of solidarity around me, I walked with firm steps towards the rear of the jail.” While, Mandela didn’t care what sentence he faced because he knew the people he would leave behind would finish his duties for him. In Doc.9 it states,…

    High speed desert chases are a common sight for agents on the ground. Most of the time, upon the pursuit’s end, human cargo is all that is found and, often, their smugglers are pursued after abandoning them. The cargo, however, is what is important. Not all illegals are willing illegals—meaning that some are forced, by threat of their families being harmed, into weapon, drug, or sex-trafficking. Therefore, Border Patrol agents are not just doing their job for the good of our country, but also for the good of those who are crossing over.…

    Aroused by the massacre of Amritsar in 1919, Gandhi devoted his life to gaining India’s independence from Great Britain. As the dominant figure used his persuasive philosophy of non-violent confrontation, he inspired political activists with many persuasions throughout the world (Andrews 23). Not only was Mahatma Gandhi a great peacemaker, but also his work to achieve freedom and equality for all people was greatly acknowledged. Gandhi’s unconventional style of leadership gained him the love of a country and eventually enabled him to lead the independence movement in India.…

    As a very clear example, that fills most of Nehru’s speech, is the poetics phrases that Nehru is constantly using. This poetry and plans for the future, brings India together by giving them something to stand together about. Nehru goes specifically after this, when he calls India “she” in the sentence “Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of the quest or forgotten the ideals whish gave her strength” Nehru gives India a well-deserved boost of national felling and confidence, which was much needed since India might have lost that feeling after the long years as a colony and the devastating war that had just past. This feeling of nationality sprung from the appeal of pathos. Again notable when Nehru calls his listeners “brothers and sisters”, even if they are now two countries, Pakistan and India. Talking to the emotions of the listeners, which characterizes Nehru’s speech, overshadows the lack of solid…

    The discussion on A Passage to India as a political fiction has for long been dominated by the followers of a mimetic theory of literature, whose quest for empiricism tied to didacticism is achieved when they find the narrative content to be an authentic portrayal of India and a humanist critique of British-Indian relations during the last decades of the Empire. Since the accession of critical methods concerned with representation as an ideological construct, and not a truthful, morally inspired account of reality, however, the politics of the novel have demanded another mode of analysis, where the articulations of the fiction are related to the system of textual practices by which the metropolitan culture exercised its domination over the subordinate periphery; within this theoretical context, A Passage to India can be seen as at once inheriting and interrogating the discourses of the Raj. In common with other writings in the genre, this novel enunciates a strange meeting from a position of political privilege, and it is not difficult to find rhetorical instances where the other is designated within a set of essential and fixed characteristics: `Like most Orientals, Aziz overrated hospitality, mistaking it for intimacy'; `Suspicion in the Oriental is a sort of malignant tumour'; and so on. It is equally possible to demonstrate that while the idiom of Anglo-India is cruelly parodied, the overt criticism of colonialism is phrased in the feeblest of terms: `One touch of…
