Recommended: Non violent method for Mahatma Gandhi

If I had the opportunity to have lunch with an important person I would choose Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was definitely an admirable person who fought for Indian liberation through peaceful forms of disobedience. Gandhi showed to the world that there were more important things to fight or worry about than material things. He was very committed to his policy of non-violent non-cooperation to achieve the independence of India. His main goal was to alleviate poverty, liberate woman, put an end to discrimination, and achieve self-rule. As a very catholic person, sometimes I feel that if Jesus would reincarnate in earth, Gandhi will be, doubtless, the best figure to represent Him. Jesus and Gandhi shared so many virtues that the similarities in between …show more content…

On my personal opinion, Gandhi and Jesus are so similar on their nature that sometimes it is hard to ignore. Gandhi had the fortune to be born in a high caste, which allowed him to receive the private education he had. However, he was one of the humblest people in the world. Even born in a high caste, Gandhi believed that he had to live in the same conditions that the people he represented in order to gain respect. How could he talk about the difficulties of poverty if he had not experienced it? This is the reason why he decided to give everything away, including his law practice. One of Gandhi’s first fights was to allow women with brown skin to be treated the same way as everybody …show more content…

I would love to learn things like the patience he had to fight, with non-violent disobedience, for what he believed. Also, his ability to feel and give people peace just by looking at him. His wisdom, motivation, and inspiration to always look forward. Most importantly, the mainstay of the persuasiveness that led him to be who we was. Comparatively, I like the idea of having lunch with Gandhi because I feel that it could be as interesting as having a long conversation with my dad. I am sure that the opportunity to have lunch with Gandhi would leave me with lots of positive thoughts that will certainly change my

    Some more similarities between Chris and Gandhi are the fact that they didn’t respect authority especially if authority got in the way of what they wanted. Like when Chris went to the “no trespassing” area in the desert with his Datsun. Gandhi on the other hand burned passport cards of all the people that followed him in England and almost got beaten to death because of what he had done. Both men also would not let anything stand in their way not even family. Chris lied to his family and left everything behind him to go travel and adventure. Gandhi

  • Comparing the Journeys of Hesse's Siddhartha and Gandhi

    2051 Words  | 5 Pages

    Siddhartha and Gandhi strove for different goals during their lives. Siddhartha's goal was very personal, while Gandhi's goal encompassed the world. This was shown by their spiritual development throughout their journeys. Siddhartha evolved from an inexperienced spiritual being to a man, returned to spirituality, and ended with nirvana. Gandhi traveled a much straighter path, originally being a worldly man merely seeking his correct place in life, when his spiritual development unexpectedly produced a great world leader; in Gandhi's own words, a politician trying to be a saint. Siddhartha and Gandhi's main goals were always different, but they traveled similar paths at times.

  • Mohandas Gandhi: A Greek Tragic Hero

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...Because of Gandhi’s power, his flaw, and his catastrophe, one would say that Gandhi fits the model of a Greek tragic hero. Gandhi’s power was his heightened goodness, proven by his innumerable civil disobedience acts, where he continued to fight even while he was regularly jailed. His flaw was his tolerance and acceptance of everyone which led to his catastrophic assassination by Nathuram Godse. Gandhi’s teachings of nonviolence and peace still live on today, as they have inspired many other human rights leaders, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. Gandhi’s teachings are responsible for the successes of civil rights movements in other countries. He not only helped free India from British rule, but also gave people new thoughts about violence and imperialism around the world. Even today, India continues to live and remember the tutelage of Gandhi.

  • Analysis Of The Movie Gandhi

    980 Words  | 2 Pages

    After the British empire separated itself from India, inner-country religious problems began to arise. The Muslims and Hindus of the liberated India released their pent up anger on each other and combusted into civil war right after they won the peaceful war against Great Britain. This war distressed Gandhi, who has insight into the unity of mankind, and encouraged him to go on a hunger strike until the brutality ceased. While on his near-death bed, he is approached by a Hindu who “killed a child” because the Muslims “killed [his] son,” and in response, Gandhi said that the way out of his “Hell is to “Find a [Muslim] child, a child whose mother and father have been killed and raise him as your own,” therefore the man would be able to see the equality in all religions. Throughout his entire life, Gandhi, though a Hindu, never prosecuted anyone for their religion and was able to see through everyone’s eyes as fellow brother’s and sisters, not enemies. This ability to empathize and recognize the general unity of the human population allowed Gandhi insight into the human
