immensely grateful to Mahatmaji for inducing, by his wonder working inspiration, freedom from fear and feebleness in the minds of his countrymen, feel profoundly hurt when any words from his mouth may emphasize the elements of unreason in those very minds — unreason, which is a fundamental source of all the blind powers that drive us against freedom and self-respect." Nehru during that time was in prison and was on the same page with Tagore and was also shocked by this unscientific statement of Gandhi. He wondered to rely on Gandhi anymore and hence wrote, "Of many hard lessons that I had learnt, the hardest and most painful now faced me; that it is not possible in any vital matter to rely on any one. One must journey through life alone; to rely on others is to invite heartbreak." But undaunted Gandhi stood by what he said and wrote that though they seem to have physical origins, somehow are connected with man 's morals. He confessed though that he could not prove the existence of God and hence the connection between the sins of untouchability and Bihar, but these are the instincts felt by him. These two men though differ in temperament and ideology, represented diverse aspects of multi-faceted culture of …show more content…
He said "when I first heard that an atom bomb had wiped out Hiroshima, he said to himself, unless now the world adopts nonviolence, it will spell certain suicide for mankind." For him nonviolence is the only thing that an atom bomb cannot destroy. Gandhi asked for life pattern to be based on three principles- simplicity, slowness and smallness. Modernity makes life complex and this complexity cannot lead to happy and peaceful life. Science and scientific research is another area on which Gandhi 's views are fascinating. In an article published in the magazine current science in 1988, the editor asked to imagine a scientist who is a follower of Mahatma Gandhi. What

Gandhi wanted an equal society where no race or religion was superior to another. Despite the harsh treatment Gandhi faced on the train, he was still motivated to strive for equality of all. Gandhi expressed this by adopting some ethics from the Bible, such as loving the people near you just as much as you love yourself. Also, Gandhi lived his life in-line with the principle, ‘Battle
Gandhi once said, “An eye-for-an-eye makes the whole world blind.” What he meant is that fighting violence with violence helped no one. During his lifetime, Gandhi fought against oppressive British rule in India, and his journey was known throughout the world. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela both shared Gandhi’s thirst for freedom, basing their respective movements for peace on Gandhi’s. All three men fought peacefully for equality, whether it was for India’s freedom from the British empire, emancipation from apartheid laws that prohibited black Africans from being truly free, or liberation from Jim Crow laws to keep black Americans inferior to whites.
Two Men one title In life rather one defines themselves as atheist, agnostic, or commits to certain sect of religion, all, even the most dullest person at one time in their life questions the world they behold inside of himself or the world that surrounds them. Some even utilize their inward worlds to change the world surrounding them. Even though the worlds appearance deems silent to most; it screams to humanity that it is indeed in need of change. Leaders like Gandhi and Malcolm x heard this wail of urgency and acted upon it.
Though both men were family men and stood strongly by their families and principles, Mahatma Gandhi and Osama Bin Laden were polar opposites. Osama Bin Laden and Mahatma Gandhi each had a polar opposite outlook and purpose for their respective lives. Gandhi was for the non-violent society. Meanwhile, Bin Laden insisted for Muslims to unleash violent jihad amongst everyone and anyone who did not believe in the Muslim faith. Even with extreme differences, these two men were both politically driven, religious, and relentless in their missions; one of them being extremely violent and the other, a gentle, shy activist who thought the world would do better without war and violence.
Gandhi people manage their anger and have peace against the British. He did this by creating a philosophy and encouraging people to follow that philosophy. Gandhi also used peace instead of violence against the British. Gandhi did this because he believed that he can achieve peace among everybody. Gandhi’s philosophy didn't work on everyone.
He said all of his teaching and speeches about the coarse British power of the Indians fall under section 12-A, to which Gandhi happily accepted the charge because that law was “perhaps the prince among the political sections of the Indian Penal Code designed to suppress the liberty of the citizen.”
Both Civil Disobedience and the Gandhi article are alike based on the fact they both discuss civil disobedience, attending prison, and standing for one’s beliefs. Civil disobedience can be seen as a good thing and a bad thing depending on to what extent one is breaking the laws. Some people may break the law because they feel that it is unfair to them but others break the for the simple fact of doing what they want in order for it to benefit themselves. Laws are meant for the majority which means even if they are not pertaining to certain citizens. Thoreau targeted laws that pertained to him, Gandhi went on strike for the better of his country and people.
The first quote referring to Gandhi’s beliefs states, “My religion is based on truth and nonviolence. Truth is my God. Nonviolence is the means of realizing Him. “Document A: Mohandas Gandhi on Religion”. In this quote, Gandhi claimed that his religion, or beliefs, were truth and non-violence.
Cesar Chavez and Gandhi are both two different people that defended other people. They both wanted to accomplish an important goal that would change the future for other people to have their rights. Cesar wanted to get paid more money for what they were working for by protesting to the owner of the company and not eat the food the company distributed.

They were fighting for different beliefs. However they both had the same believes about civil disobedience and they both end in the same place, jail. In the first place Gandhi believed that the only way to confronted injustice was with non-violent methods.
Due to the race inequality along with the economic regulations among the Indian people, Gandhi’s ambition from the beginning of simply just wanting equality between the Indian and British transition to wanting India to become Independence. He wanted to give the Indian citizen a voice in the government and a chance to define their own nation. The Indian people lose their political power in terms of how the British authorities were exercising their power over them, implementing policies according to their own rules and administrating over the Indian’s resources. Gandhi throughout the film had the desire to help gain back India’s political power and it revolves around his method of passive resistance and self-sacrifice. He belief in “an eye for an eye only makes people blind” is what helped him achieve freedom for India without any violence involve.

Mahatma Gandhi, a leader in India’s independence movement from the British, weakened British rule through civil resistance. While Malcolm X and Gandhi both fought for their people’s freedom, their religion, beliefs, and methods for achieving independence differ in certain aspects but also have similar elements.
