Introduction
Mahatma Gandhi was a patriot, a statesman (not just a politician), a rebuilder of his country, and a huge moral force. His teachings have been used around the world, from the United States, to the former Soviet Union, to South Africa.
In many ways, Gandhi was a contradiction. He was a poor student, yet he traveled to a foreign university, and graduated. Although he was a shy person, he became used to, and was able to use publicity, and to talk in public. He believed in compromise, but he was able to develop an iron will. He stood like a rock in the middle of many conflicts, forcing the correct decision, even at the risk of his own life.
Gandhi is known by his ideas- simplicity, equality, rights with responsibilities, non-violence, compromise when possible, but always standing up for the right conclusion. His ways of peaceful non-violent protest have been used all over the world. He wanted to improve the life of everyone, and believed in education and hygiene to help.
History will be written on the next page, as I think the pictures have pushed the text out of the page- (just guessing, as this is only my third posting on this blog)-
