He was married at the age of thirteen, and lost a son and his father some three years later. As he grew up the cruel treatment from the British supremacists continued. This treatment eventually gave Ghandi the idea to protest against things that appeared wrong to him.…

As discussed in "Indian Home Rule" written in 1909. Born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi but known as Mahatma Gandhi lived from the year 1869 to the year 1948.

Satyagraha remains one of the most potent philosophies in freedom struggles throughout the world today," (bio.com) . Gandhi spent most of his life fighting for Indian Liberation from outside influences and he was assassinated trying to stop a Hindu-Muslim conflict by a Hindu fanatic on January 30, 1948.

During the occupation of India by the British, Mohandas Gandhi was seen as a spiritual leader and a key political figure. When Gandhi first worked in South Africa, he observed that many innocent people faced discrimination and prejudice from the British. When he returned to India, he was determined to help in the struggle to gain independence for India. Gandhi felt that it was his responsibility to fight for his people, but by exercising compromise and non-violence. He lived his life by negotiation and cooperation, while the British government used aggressive forces and racism against him and his followers. He decided to become the organizer of the Indian National Congress, whose goal was to gain India’s freedom from foreign control (Tammita-Delgoda 184-5). Gandhi was a strong believer in finding the truth in everything, and he opposed the efforts of prominent troops trying to control the Indians. When Gandhi applied the principles of nonviolence to foreign dominance, he helped India reclaimed its faith and courage to defy the power and strength of the British. Gandhi was essential to India obtaining independence from Britain.…
Subhas Chandra Bose ( listen (help·info); 23 January 1897 – unknown) also known as Netaji (Bengali/Oriya/Hindi): “Respected Leader”), was one of the most prominent Indian nationalist leaders who attempted to gain India's independence from British rule by force during the waning years of World War II with the help of the Axis powers.…
Less familiar to Westerners is Subhas Chandra Bose, a man of com parable stature who admired Gandhi but despaired at his aims and methods, and who became a bitter rival of Nehru. Bose played a very active and prominent role in India 's political life during most of the 1930s. For example, he was twice (1938 and 1939) elected Pres ident of the Indian National Congress, the country 's most important political force for freedom from the Raj, or British rule.…
Born in a prominent Bengali family, Subhas had dedicated much of his younger years by being actively involved in freedom movements in India, for ridding India of the British Imperialist rule. For this purpose he joined hands with stalwarts such as Nehru and Gandhiji; he expressed his frustration, especially with Gandhijis' slow and painstaking way of trying to win over the enemy with love ('Ahimsa'). For this reason, he decided to leave the Congress Party.…
Towards a revival of the Bose legacy Madhuri Bose "Rose early but found Prabha still suffering. A son was born at midday..." reads a brief entry in Janakinath's diary dated 23 January 1897. The newborn, the ninth child of Janakinath Bose and Prabhabati Devi was named Subhas Janakinath was then practicing law in Cuttack, in the state of Orissa. He headed a large extended family, in which, Subhas was to later recall in his autobiography An Indian Pilgrim, he felt "like a thoroughly insignificant being. My parents awed me to a degree". It is now 111 years since the birth of Subhas Chandra Bose, and sixty-three years since his last known journey out of South East Asia, reportedly to the Soviet Union, in mid-August 1945. On 23 January every year Subhas' birth anniversary is celebrated across India. Speeches extolling Bose's charisma and personality, his unique contributions towards Indian independence continue to be made, and stirring national songs continue to be sung in his honour. On that day, in addition to institutionally sponsored events, spontaneous remembrance ceremonies organized by neighbourhood and citizens' groups also take place. This is a unique feature associated only with Subhas' birth anniversary which reflects the depth of people's veneration for him after more than half a century of his disappearance. This, in a sense, is a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated his life to liberating India from British colonial rule, and had a vision to make Free India one of the leading nations in the world. But. 23 January will pass and Bose will again be relegated to the pages of history. Though deified by many, his ideology and mission are forgotten, or are not even known by the younger generations of Indians. From his entry into the Indian political movement in the early 1920s, throughout his prison years and bouts of serious illnesses, Subhas had developed his thoughts on social, political and economic issues which then formed the basis of his ideology. His…
After studying law in London, England, Mohandas returned to India where he was hired by an Indian Law Firm and subsequently sent to South Africa as a legal representative. Upon arrival, he began to observe the discrimination of Indian immigrants and native Africans in the country and vowed to make a change. During Gandhi’s twenty-year stay, he led an eight-year long campaign of civil disobedience that caused hundreds of Indians living in South Africa, including himself, to be imprisoned. Finally after pressure from the British and Indian governments, the government of South Africa conceded to a compromise negotiated by Mohandas Gandhi along with General Jan Christian Smuts, which included concessions such as the abolition of poll tax for Indians, as well as recognition of Indian marriages. (Mohandas Gandhi. (2010). History.com. Para. 4) Afterwards, Gandhi travelled back to India to lead one of the most notable non-violent protests of its time, the Salt March. This protest weakened British power over the people of India, and would later run Britain out of India entirely, granting independence to the country in 1947.…

Gandhi’s grandson, Mahatma Gandhi, was an amazing speaker and cleared about the conflict between war and peace not only with our surrounding but also within ourselves.

Radioactivity is a phenomenon of spontaneous emission of proton (a-particles), electrons (ß-particles) and ?-rays (short wave electromagnetic waves) due to disintegration of atomic nuclei of some elements. These cause radioactive pollution. Radiations are of two types ionising and non-ionising. Non-ionising radiations affect only those components which absorb them and have low penetrability. Ionising radiations have high penetration power and cause breakage of macro molecules.…
