Abstract
The paper looks at how Wolpert discusses in the introduction to the book specifically what is meant by Gandhi's "passion" (p. vii). The paper relates that Gandhi's "passion", like the passion of Christ, relates to his suffering (Wolpert, 2002, p. vii). The paper discusses how for Gandhi, like Jesus, this was suffering that was supposed to be for the good of man and that allowed man to see how his corruption affected the masses, as Gandhi demonstrated by his own presence. The paper explains that this was because Gandhi's mission was one that called for him to live the life of those that were forced to suffer through starvation, poverty, abuse and neglect - all conditions that were the result of societal evils. The paper explains that by existing as one among these individuals, Gandhi was capable of bringing attention to their lives and forcing some within society toward change.

Abstract
Almost everyone has heard of M. K. Gandhi. His name is still spoken with respect in most parts of the world, and with this respect goes the understanding that he liberated India from the yoke of British colonization. In addition most people are aware that Gandhi utilized peaceful means to achieve this liberation, which of course adds to the mystique of Gandhi as one of the great men of history. This paper questions whether Gandhi's methods were the best that could have been used and whether the outcome was in fact in the best interests of India.

Abstract
This paper examines how the path to combat inter-religious conflict has been the mission of Gandhi's objective mission in the world. This study explores the critical apparatus between modern scholars that often agree, but also disagree in how Gandhi actually viewed religious divisions within politics or without. The paper explains, however, that by understanding the ethical and moral basis for Gandhi's activity to bring religions into a unified world, one can understand why he sought to realize a harmonious world that could live without unnecessary violence and destruction to differing ideological doctrines in theology.

From the Paper
"In this religious study, the inter-religious conflict that existed within Gandhi's time can be analyzed in realizing how religion can divide a society or culture. In this view, one can realize the various barriers that are created that are not really present in relation to how ethics and morals work within the philosophy of Gandhi's teachings. In essence, although there are certain problems of doctrine and belief systems between religions, the modern day view of Gandhi's influence in breaking down religious barriers dissolves inter-religious conflict. These are the positive ways and means in which Gandhi represents a tolerant and inter-religious unity, which can be practiced in today's modern world. The basis for inter-religious conflict has been critically evaluated from the standpoint of a separation of politics with religion."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the basis and nature of Mahatma Gandhi's religious beliefs. The writer maintains that the millions that followed Gandhi were ardent Hindus but he possessed a complex seemingly contradictory set of religious beliefs.

From the Paper

The millions that followed Gandhi were ardent Hindus but he possessed a complex seemingly contradictory set of religious beliefs. Gandhi possessed ambiguous religious beliefs during his youth and went through a formative period abroad in England where he was clearly looking for the right religion to follow Gandhi. Throughout his career Gandhi would ..."

Abstract
This paper examines the Bush Administration's invasion and occupation of Iraq from the perspectives of Bill Clinton and Mohandas Gandhi indicating that neither of them would have initiated a preemptive war under such unjustified circumstances. The paper further discusses that Gandhi's advocacy of non-violence would have precluded him from even considering military action, while President Clinton's energetic advocacy of diplomacy and negotiation in the Middle East confirmed that he considered the use of military force to be a last resort, justified only by an immediate threat to American national security.

Abstract
This paper discusses the colonization of India. It discusses the effect this had on the culture, language, religion and educational system in India due to Britain's attempts to Westernize the colony. The paper discusses Gandhi's role in India at the time and specifically, his role in the liberation of women during the Indian movement for self-rule.

From the Paper
"Gandhi's Role in Liberating Women during the Indian Movement for Self Rule India was colonized by the British in the early 1800s, and India was not able to repel its powerful oppressor until 1947. During that time, the British changed many things within India, as is usual with colonizers. They attempted to impose their Christian religion, their English language, the British educational system, and their Western culture on India. However, as often happens with a strong, ancient culture, India was able to retain much of its distinct Eastern culture, despite almost 150 years of colonization."

Abstract
This paper examines the way in which Louis Fischer, in his book "Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World", points to Gandhi's imperfections, idiosyncrasies and ultimately his mighty effort in kicking out the British rule from India. The author further discusses Gandhi's very human frailties and how he overpowered those frailties. It looks at Gandhi's constant struggle to find the ideal way of living a Bramhachari life and his occasional and baffling inconsistencies. The paper concludes that Gandhi's efforts to incorporate the ideas pertinent to his reformist Hinduism from Shelley, the New Testament and the Kuran, made him deeply involved with the idea of desirelessness and non violence for which he will be remembered for decades to come.

From the Paper
"In the biography Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World, Louis Fischer traces the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi from birth to death in stages. Fischer tells briefly about Gandhi's earliest youth: his insecurities as a young boy, the influence of his mother's devotion to Hinduism on him, his struggle with the religious taboos and customs when he secretly consumes the forbidden goat meat from a Muslim friend, his marriage to Kasturbai at the age of thirteen."

From the Paper
"In 1944 Albert Einstein said, "Generations to come, it may be, will scarcely believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon earth." He was talking about Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi's real name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. His followers called him Mahatma (or Great Soul) as though it were his first name. In India he is also Father of the Nation (Wikipedia, 2006). Because Gandhi was such a complex person, it is difficult to try to capture who he really was."
