He was a pioneer in Satyagraha, a philosophy that is largely concerned with truth and ‘resistance to evil through active, non-violent resistance’, wich led India to independence and inspired civil-rights and freedom movements around the world. As a product of his work, he even spent a number of years in jail in South Africa and India.
Following his philosophy, Gandhi swore to speak the truth and advocated that others do the same. He lived modestly in a community and wore the traditional Indian shawl, woven from yarn that he had spun by hand. He ate vegetarian food and undertook long fasts for self-purification and social protest.
I admire him because he was really brave, he believed in some principles and fought all his life for these.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869. He was a major political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. At school, Gandhi was an avarage student. But, he passed the WF matriculation exam for Samaldas College, however he was unhappy, in part because his family wanted him to become a barrister. On 4 September 1888, Gandhi travelled to London, England, to study law at Univesrity College London.

I think that through his fight, many people felt stronger for fighting for their rights, that is to say, he was and he is an example for all who believe in freedom and human rights.

When Gandhi made the whole community that followed him they sat and stayed calm to any threat, it was a radical change in the conception of humanity of itself. What else could have made it an armed soldier if not lay down their weapons?
