    Mohandas Karamchand Ghandi, known as Mahatma , or ‘Great Soul’ was a successful leader who managed to cause major political change in countries that experienced an abundance of racial discrimination and cultural inferiority .The two most significantly effected countries that experienced direct positive empowerment because of Mahatma Ghandi were South Africa and India. Reason for Ghandi’s immense success with each goal he set was his strong self belief, resilience, persistence and determination. Apart from these characteristics allowing Ghandi to achieve his goals, they made him an exceptional example of an effective leader. In South Africa Mahatma Ghandi fought for Indian civil rights, his success resulted in the reformation of the anti- Indian Legislation, by South African Officials. Throughout the history of South Africa racial discrimination was always prevalent among society. Native Africans, Indians and Asians were constantly subject to racial injustices, particularly from the 1800’s to 1959. Examples of this are evident throughout the legislations and laws that were directed at Indians; Indians; -Could only freely migrate to South Africa as indentured Labourers (labourers on contract) - They had none of the rights of full citizenship - Were not allowed to own property or land - Were only granted temporary residence -Forced to pay of sum of £3 if they were ex-indentured Indians that failed to reindenture or chose to return to India after their labour contracts were completed . - Had to live in government allocated areas for ‘sanitation’ purposes - Were the only race that had to complete a educational, health, age and means test in order to gain admission into the country with the exclusion of Indian indentured labourers.

    WINGS OF FIRE is the narration of a journey Abdul Kalam took as a small village child overcoming all the odds and hurdles and became the first citizen of India. The book contains antidotes from life of Abdul Kalam. Especially the incident from the childhood when Abdul Kalam was invited to have lunch with his Hindu school teacher and transformation in behaviour of the teacher’s orthodox wife towards the little Kalam is very moving. Similarly in an incident when defence minister arranged helicopter for scientist Kalam to attend his niece’s marriage at a village in Tamil nadu is very touching. It also inspires the reader of the book to excel in their own field to get recognition. The book also reveals the Abdul kalam’s as a leader and his capability of working as a team member which otherwise would not have been known. The narration is simple and technical terms and their meanings are explained for understanding of common reader. The book besides autobiography is a chronologue of development of India’s space mission. His description of the people, who shaped his life, interweaving religion and education, is a charming part of the book that almost nobody would miss reading. The part which I didn’t like in the story is that when he was in primary school, in class he was sitting on the first bench beside the son of a Pandit waiting for his teacher to arrive. As soon as the teacher arrived he made…

    India freedom struggle is enriched with numerous heroes and great leaders. Most of the freedom fighters sacrificed their family, comfort, jobs and ultimately lives to make India an independent nation. We can only salute to such heroes who made it possible for us to breathe in a free air. One such legendary freedom fighter and an imminently knowledgeable person was the first prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru. Also known as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, he was one of the foremost leaders of Indian freedom struggle. The Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi had realised the infinite potential of his favourite disciple at an early age. Jawaharlal Nehru literally shaped the destiny of free India. No wonder, he is also called as the architect of modern India. Let’s have a look at Jawaharlal Nehru biography. Jawaharlal Nehru was born on November 14, 1889. Pandit Ji was the son of famous barrister and freedom fighter Motilal Nehru. His mother’s name was Swaroop Rani. He had three sisters. His family background helped him in receiving best possible education. Jawaharlal Nehru did his schooling from Harrow and further on, completed his law degree from Trinity College, Cambridge. Because of his upbringing and solid education, he managed to acquire a rational outlook and rich understanding of political concepts. His patriotic dedication received further boost with his incomparable understanding of socialism and nationalism. He returned to India in 1912 and got married to kamala Kaul from whom he had a daughter named Indira Gandhi. Nehruji was an intellectual in true sense of the word. He believed in the concepts of patriotism, unity and liberty. He was hugely influenced by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and decided to join Indian freedom struggle. A strong mass leader, Pandit Nehru was imprisoned several times in his life. He spent no less than 14 years in prisons. Once the country got independence, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was unanimously elected as the first Prime Minister…
