Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 in Probander India. Gandhi’s real name is Mohandas. He is called Mahatma because Mahatma means “Great Soul” and was called this for his mind on the matter of Indian rights. He was devoted to helping the

Indian people. His early child hood was that of interest. As a normal young boy he was a shy but serious. He spent his time playing with a few of his close friends. Gandhi’s parents class of Hindu was called the “Vaisya” the merchant class. I searched and searched but it is still unknown to me whether Gandhi had any brothers and sisters.

Gandhi got married at the age of 13 to a woman named Kasturba. Now like all the weddings of this time and in India it was an arranged marriage and that just means that his parents chose who and when he would marry. Usually the woman that is being married her family gives a “ dowry” as payme

. . .

This type of relationships was a primitive but an effective barter economy where you trade goods and services for other goods and services. However, as his life proceeded, he fixed every one of these problems. Gandhi was shot and killed in 1948 by a Hindu fanatic that opposed everything Gandhi had done and stood for. He had a very pacifist personality and nothing swayed him. ” It was the movement that attempted to give the Indians rights like everyone else especially in Africa. Finally after much bloodshed, Gandhi's fast worked and he began to eat again.

One of the most important things about Gandhi, especially early in his life was that he fought materialism and egotistic behavior since he was a lawyer with stature who was fairly well to do. A dowry can be anything from cows to whole farms and huge businesses. He then went to South Africa and lived there for twenty one years from 1893 to 1914. He worked on achieving the Indian rights bill. They grew their own food, made their own clothes, and had a totally independent little community were all that was needed to survive was provided. He turned all his weaknesses into strengths that boosted his character. At that time Indians were ridiculed everywhere and could not even walk down the street.
