Mahatma Gandhi
In the 1930s and 40s Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was one of the most important leaders of the movement that was struggling to free India from British rule and make it an INDEPENDENT country, a goal that was finally achieved in August 1947. However, that isn’t enough to explain why so many people think of Gandhi as one of the greatest political figures of the 20th century. What really made him special was his belief in non-violent REALITY to British economic, political and military power: he believed the way forward for the Indian independence movement – and for all people suffering oppression – was simple ‘non-cooperation’ rather than violence. Non-cooperation included RESISTANCE, boycotts, the refusal to pay taxes, and the willingness to go to prison if necessary – tactics that were effective in putting pressure on the British authorities. Gandhi’s IDEAS certainly influenced the leaders of other 20th-century freedom struggles, such as Martin Luther King in the United States and Nelson Mandela in South Africa. Gandhi was born in the northern Indian state of Gujarat, the son of an important local politician. His parents arranged for him to get married at the extremely young age of thirteen, and he became a father before he was twenty. His family wanted him to become a BARRISTER and sent him to study law at university in London, where his DISLIKE for English food was one of the things that made him become a vegetarian for the rest of his life. In 1893 he went to work as a lawyer in South Africa, where his political beliefs began to develop as he saw the DISCRIMINATION suffered by non-white people, including the country’s large Indian community. He also moved closer to Hindu religious ideas, particularly ahimsa or non-violence. After returning to India he decided to live a life of ‘simplicity’, which meant giving up unnecessary spending and OWNING as few clothes as possible. In 1918 he ENCOURAGE poor farmers in Gujarat to resist a new tax introduced by the British. The authorities put him in prison, but thousands of people protested and soon he was released. The British COMPROMISED with the poor farmers, and Gandhi became famous all over India. Over the next 30 years he devoted himself to the CAUSE of Indian independence. He lived long enough to see his dream become REALITY, but he was sad to see the violence that surrounded the division of the subcontinent into two countries for Hindus and Muslims respectively – India and Pakistan – because he had always believed that the followers of the two religions should be able to live together peacefully.
