Write a story for a popular magazine about a public figure from the past who had values you admire. Express your feelings about this person, describe some of the values this person use to have and say how this values might be important nowadays. GANDHI
Mathama Gandhi was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism who became famous fighting for civil rights employing no violent and civil disobedience. I feel a deep admiration and respect for him because he was a leader who defended values such as the truth, the no violence and the treatment of others as yourself. In my view, when he stated that everybody could be considered a leader because everybody was an example for other people taught a real philosophy for life. He used to be on hunger strike and appear for justice and compassion as a method of peaceful resistance. By this way, peaceful no cooperation became widespread all the strata on Indian society. He used to campaign for easing poverty, women’s rights and ethnic amity between Indians and Muslims. Nowadays Gandhi’s philosophy might become incredibly influential. For many psychologists, Gandhi may represent one of the models of leadership more effective that has ever existed. Moreover, although Gandhi used to have many psychological fortitude such as courage, humility, hope, goodness, love, justice and self-control among others, he’ll always be remembered for his extraordinary leaderships skills, his ability to communicate and his persuasion to come into agreements. I believe if we had more leaders as Gandhi we might have a better

    Mahatma Gandhi, a lawyer by profession, used his simple philosophy and strong foresight to bring down the 300+ years of British rule, paving the way for India’s independence. His principles of Satyagraha (Fight for truth), Non Violence, Non co-operation and Swadeshi (reject foreign made products) movement, were simple but effective. Gandhiji conceived that a strategic, planned and mass approach was required, rather than muscle power, to oust the British rule. Most of the other freedom fighters were trying to make sacrifices for the mother land, but Gandhiji’s principles and leadership not only brought them together under one roof, but also enabled the common man to participate in the movement. His leadership broke all barriers of faith, class, socio-economic status or geography, and enabled him to identify with the masses. He personifies leadership with uncompromising values, a classic example of how strategy and vision helps in achieving long term goals. Even a short time with such an iconic figure would not be short of an asset lasting a lifetime.…

    Gandhi was the leader of the Indian Independence movement in British ruled India. He resisted the government by using non-violent disobedience. You must keep in mind that the system that he lived in(British ruled India) was very organized and it was very hard to resist the governments laws. He used one of the most effective methods of gathering the people and controlling them to his will. For example when the people made revolts against the British government Gandhi would starve himself to get them to listen because the people really cared about him. This method can only work if the people really care about you. At 5:17 PM on 30 January 1948 Gandhi was assassinated by Nathuram Godse in the garden of the Birla house. In 1930 Mahatma Gandhi challenged the British government by ignoring the salt tax with a 400 km Salt…

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (pronounced [ˈmoːɦənd̪aːs ˈkərəmtʃənd̪ ˈɡaːnd̪ʱi] ( listen); 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India.

    Gandhi was the epitome of peace, non-violence, truth and duty. He practiced everything he preached. The common people appreciated his beliefs and ideals during the struggle for Indian independence, and by the end of it Gandhi had the whole nation following in his footsteps, adopting his beliefs as theirs and spreading his words all through the nation. This love, respect and faith he got from the people of his country got him the title “Father of the Nation”. Till today this title exclusively sticks to him for if it wasn’t for his pure values and methods, India would have never got her freedom from the British rule.…

    GANDHIJI’S EARLY CAREER When Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi called for a nation- wide Satyagraha against the Rowlatt Act in March 1919, his first attempt at leading an all India struggle, he was already in his fiftieth year. To understand the man who was about to take over the reins of the Indian National Movement and guide its destinies through its most climactic years, it is necessary to begin his story at least twenty five years earlier, in 1893, when as a twenty-four old barrier, he began the struggle of Indians against racial discrimination in South Africa. The story of Gandhiji in South Africa is a long one and we present it here in its briefest outline only to highlight the wide experience that Gandhiji had undergone before he came back to India.…
