The Prime Minister
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today exhorted people to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi`s vision of Clean India. Launching the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan at Rajpath in New Delhi, the Prime Minister paid homage to two great sons of Mother India, Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, on their birth anniversary.

He recalled how the nation`s farmers had responded to Shri Shastri`s call of “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan,” and made India self-sufficient in food security. He said that out of Gandhiji`s two dreams – Quit India, and Clean India, the people had helped to ensure that the first became a reality. However, the second dream – Clean India – still remained unfulfilled.

    Gandhi wanted to create a change in his country so he and many others marched through the city towards the sea to protest British taxes on salt. The people of India would then extract the salt from the seawater instead. He wanted people to become unified in their action, and to see their interests as interlinked with others. In his speech, Gandhi argues that his task” shall be done if I perish, and so do my colleagues” (Gandhi 235). Gandhi envisions social reform as individuals sacrificing themselves for a greater benefit. Gandhi repeatedly speaks about how he, as an individual is not as important as the cause of challenging an unjust authority. “The stream of civil resisters will flow unbroken” when people take action together only when people yield to a larger cause that encompasses more than their own interests (Gandhi…

    In conclusion, Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi was a social and political reformer whose career was marked by non-violence, compassion and tolerance. His role in India’s independence struggle provides more evidence of his saintliness. His non-violent movements during Satyagraha protests and willingness to fast the death and to end violence mark him out as somebody important due to his sacrifices and also his disobediences against the government. He would use only moral means to achieve his aims, and he was a nationalist person that did everything for his…

    One of India's most important men in history was Mahatma Gandhi. In this interpretation I wish to discuss Mahatma Gandhi's writing's on India's Independence. 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. He was the primary leader for India's independence and one of the most successful users of civil disobedience in history. He was a spiritual and political leader in India, and he used his position and voice to make his country better. Mahatma Gandhi believed in satyagraha or " resistance through mass non-violent civil disobedience. Satyagraha remains one of the most potent philosophies in freedom struggles throughout the world today," (bio.com) .

    “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” This quote was divulged from Mahatma Gandhi, perhaps one of the greatest and most infamous humanitarians the earth fostered. He believed in the independence and beauty of individualism; only protesting in the tell-tale, nonviolent manner Martin Luther King Jr. would later culture. Gandhi was one of the first anti-war activists publicized worldwide. His works heartened other civil rights leaders such as Nelson Mandela, James Lawson, and James Bevel to apply nonviolent civil disobedience in their endeavors of human rights (“Mahatma Gandhi” 1). His subsequent assassination, however, introduced polluted drops…

    Does Gandhi Matter?

    A prediction that has surely proved true in the present age. For us, what Gandhiji achieved was something no mortal could have dreamt of doing. So, was he immortal? A god sent down to free the disillusioned Indians? This belief was tragically proved wrong by the bullets of Nathuram Godse on the 30th of January 1948. An apostle of peace falling prey to violence, an angel of secularism gunned down by the bullets of intolerance that had infested the minds of a few. An irony of fate, or a cruel twist of destiny? Godse was sentenced to death, an eye for an eye. But, the question staring India in the face today is, "Does the message of Gandhi matter today?”…

As one of the founders of the Non-aligned Movement, he was also an important figure in the international politics of the post-war era. He is frequently referred to as Pandit Nehru ("pandit" being a Sanskrit and Hindi honorific meaning "scholar" or "teacher") and, specifically in India, as Panditji (with "-ji" being a honorific suffix).Nehru was a charismatic and radical leader, advocating complete independence from the British Empire.…
