    GKE1 Task 2

    There have been many individuals throughout history that have left an indelible impact on their people and the world, but few could rival the difference that Mohandas Gandhi made. Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 in the British Common Wealth of India. He spent his youth witnessing the injustices that the English purveyed on the Indian people; something that eventually helped him to decide to become a barrister. Shortly after passing the bar, Gandhi was offered a case in South Africa that would require him to live in that country for about 1 year and he readily accepted. Once arriving in South Africa, he almost immediately experienced the prejudice that Indians living there had been enduring. The turning point for him came when he purchased a first class train ticket but was asked to move to the 3rd class coach, simply because he was Indian. When he quietly refused, he was physically thrown from the train. It was at that point that he decided to stay in South Africa to fight discrimination and what had been planned as a 1 year stay turned into 20 years. During that time he created, taught and practiced the concept of satyagraha, a non-violent way of protesting against injustices. (Rosenberg, n.d.) Gandhi believed that freedom could not be taken but must be given willingly and that this concept helped both the oppressor and the oppressed recognize the humanity in each other. The idea of satyagraha would be used by many great civil rights leaders as a way to advance their causes. Because of this, it remains Gahndhi’s greatest contribution to political change.…

    The practice of Ahimsa is one that Gandhi was most well-known for and is essentially the living by the concept of "non-violence"1. This means that instead of fighting violence with violence, Gandhi argued that exploitation could be overcome by returning love for hatred and respect for contempt, in a determined refusal to give in to injustice2. In explaining his theory Gandhi stated "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent"3. He put his theory into action throughout various campaigns in his fight of social injustice such as the Salt March campaign. Another one of which being the Quit India movement which became the most violent movements in the struggle of India's freedom. The protest resulted in mass arrests and violence on an unprecedented scale4. However Gandhi wanted his disciples to follow the principles of Ahimsa and therefore the violence received was not reciprocated and resulted in the only non-violent liberation of a country. This practice often involved a…

    Gandhi, King and Mandela: What Made Non-Violence Work?

    Mohandas Gandhi’s methods not only led to India’s independence from Britain but also had victories over racial discrimination in South Africa. Gandhi saw, upon his return to India from South Africa, that Britain had run India’s people into poverty and subordination. Indians were not allowed to manufacture or own their own salt. This affected the poor population most because of how often they used salt. Gandhi began by writing to the English Governor in India describing his plan to “convert the British people through nonviolence and [to] make them see the wrong they have done to India” (Document 1). He felt that the “British rule [was] a curse”. Even though Gandhi spent a total of 2.338 days in prison, he “did not feel the slightest hesitation in entering the prisoner’s box” (Doc. 7). People followed Gandhi in his protests and many followed him into jail feeling “firm in [their] resolution of passing [their] terms in jail in perfect happiness and peace” (Doc. 7). While he was in jail, Mme. Naidu, an Indian poetess, filled in his position in leading protests. She encouraged the protesters by reiterating that “[they] must not use any violence… [they would] be beaten but [they] must not resist…not even raise a hand to ward off blows” (Doc. 4). The author felt that “the western mind finds it difficult to grasp the idea of nonresistance”, but…

    How Did Gandhi Contribute To Imperialism

    Mohandas Gandhi and his non-violent acts of defiance had great implications on imperialism during the post colonial area. Known to many as the “Great Souled one”(History) Gandhi was a leading force for India to gain independence from Great Britain. Gandhi’s extensive use of passive resistance which is defined as “refusal to obey the demands or commands of a government or occupying power, without resorting to violence or active measures of opposition” (Pletcher). Is a trademark for Indian independence.…

    Nonviolence Gandhi Movie Analysis

    All it takes is one act of courage and act of caring. There is no important thing in life that people can achieve overnight. Gandhi explains that the force is destructive: “Violence like water, when it has an outlet, rushes forward furiously with an overwhelming force.” Violence leads people to more violence and destroys the moral laws of human beings. Violence leads people to commend the murder, injury, and other crimes which are against humanity. It is also the main cause of conflict within families, societies, and whole nations. Therefore, Gandhi’s writing on non- violence is only the path to change the violent into peaceful and progressive human beings.…

    Mohandas Ghandi's Defending Non Violent Resistance speech and George Orwell's "shooting and elephant"

    Mohandas Gandhi emphasizes the use of non-violence in his speech and employs the principle of "spiritual leadership...to achieve political goals through non-violent resistance."(Gandhi 975) Gandhi's essay accents the need for Indian freedom. Gandhi's attitude stressed for the British system of government to change. Gandhi states the overall attitude of the essay, "I wanted to avoid violence, I want to avoid violence. Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed." (Gandhi 976) Gandhi writes this to state his belief in nonviolent forms of rebellion. Instead, Gandhi's belief that peaceful measures harvest a greater impact on the people creates a greater outcome. Gandhi decides to go against the government of the land, the British government. Gandhi states, "But I had to make my choice. I had either to submit to a system which I considered had done an irreparable harm to my country, or incur the risk of the mad fury of my people bursting forth, when they understood the truth from my lips" (Gandhi 976). Clearly, Gandhi's attitude towards British rule played into a negative path of rebellion which eventually led to his arrest and future Indian independence.…

    Synthesis Essay King vs. Aung San Suu Kyi

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi once said, “Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.” Gandhi dedicated his life to a role of non-violence amidst times of hate, war, and even bigotry. He was at the forefront on India’s quest for freedom from Britain during the mid 1900’s. Gandhi led hundreds of thousands of Indians into civil disobedience against the British, however; he believed the most important thing was that Indians avoided all types of violence and hatred in their quest for freedom. His belief in a form of non-violence influenced many during and after his life ended in 1948. Two of the individuals it had the biggest impact on were Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Aung San Suu Kyi. King displayed forms of non-violence during the Civil Rights movement in the mid 1900’s, while Aung San Suu Kyi used politics and a belief in democracy to non-violently express her views. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Aung San Suu Kyi each followed Gandhi’s form of non-violence throughout their lives, while King used, “Nonviolent campaigns aimed at ending racial segregation across the South” (King 202), Aung San Suu Kyi peacefully “ Used democracy to reverse the process of decline” (San Suu Kyi 222).…

    Constrast and Comparison of Gandhi, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King on the Topic of Violence

    Mohandas Gandhi was such a pious individual and used only nonviolence (ahimsa) to gain recognition and defeat his usurpers. His first concept was known as the law of love, "the force of nonviolence is infinitely more wonderful and subtle than the material forces of nature, like, for instance, electricity" (Pg. 626, 2nd paragraph on column 2). Gandhi explains that spiritual love runs like electricity. Instead of physically hurting someone, a person can resist and use a nonviolent approach. An individual must be in harmony with his/her mind, body, and speech. His second concept is the law of suffering where an individual should endure great suffering to progress in his nonviolent actions. Gandhi talks about a "pure" suffering and uses Christ as an example, "hence did the sacrifice of Jesus suffice to free a sorrowing world" (Pg. 624, Lines 8-9). The last two concepts of Gandhi intertwine with each other, cycle of violence and means/ends theory. He explains that violence breeds violence and this cycle continues. If two individuals keep using brutal force against each other, the cycle will go on and on until the end when they both go down in defeat. An individual should use good means to get good ends because "the means may be likened to a seed, the end to a tree" (Pg.621, 2nd paragraph of column 1).…

    Non-Violence During the Civil Rights Movement

    Mahatma Gandhi was a wise man and taught multiple lessons to his people about the workings of nonviolence. He called it Satyagraha which translates to “Soul-force” or “Love-force”. Gandhi is renowned not only as the “Father of India” but also as the originator of the modern nonviolence or passive movement (444). During his lifetime (1869-1948) he performed countless acts of nonviolence to help end the struggle for Indian independence from Britain which happened from 1915 to 1947. Gandhi’s writings inspired American civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr.; South Africa’s Nelson Mandela; Czechoslovakia’s Václav Havel, leader of that country’s “Velvet Revolution”; and countless workers for peace and justice around the world (444). His teachings on nonviolence were greatly used in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s.…

    The term 'non-violence' was actually coined in English (about 1920) by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) as a direct translation of ‘ahimsa’, 'avoiding harm to others'. The idea of non-violence was very important to Mahatma Gandhi’s thinking and actions as a Hindu leader during India's approach to independence in 1947. He wrote:…
