    Mahatma Gandhi, Indian nationalist, and the man credited with liberating India from British rule led a campaign of non-violent, civil disobedience that made the continued stay in the country by the British colonizers politically and morally untenable. Imprisoned by the British for fomenting unrest, Gandhi confronted the colonizers’ force of arms with the power of his ideas, and the rightness of his cause, and by his act of courageous disobedience prevailed gloriously over the British in the end. Today, India is a vibrant democracy of 1.2 billion people, free because of the disobedience of one frail, unprepossessing man, Mahatma Gandhi.…

    After 200 years of being control by an island thousands of mile away, it was time to break free. Circa 1500, England and other European countries began to colonize India. It is believed that the Independence Movement there began in the 1850’s, although India didn’t become a fully self-governing country until the 1940’s. This movement is an example of peaceful revolution, and in large part was led by activist Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi. Gandhi, born in 1869, led some the movement and was assassinated in 1948. India fought for many years for independence, but was able to win with the help of Gandhi, who influenced not only his country, but many others including other civil leaders as well.…

    The 2002 Gujarat violence was a series of incidents including the Godhra train burning and Naroda Patiya massacre and the subsequent communal violence between Hindus and Muslims in the Indian state of Gujarat. On 27 February 2002, the Sabarmati Express train was attacked at Godhra by a Muslim mob as per a preplanned conspiracy. 58 Hindu pilgrims, including 25 women and 15 children, returning from Ayodhya, were killed in the attack. This in turn prompted retaliatory attacks against Muslims and general communal riots on a large scale across the state, in which 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were ultimately killed and 223 more people were reported missing. 523 places of worship were damaged: 298 dargahs, 205 mosques, 17 temples, and 3 churches.
