From the Paper
"Both Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. were goal-oriented leaders. Gandhi desired self-rule for India. King wanted first class citizenship for African Americans. Instead of separating religion and politics, both men mixed the two. Both leaders chose nonviolence as their strategy, partly because it was the only practical solution capable of achieving their objectives.
Gandhi's goal for India was swaraj, a self-rule based on complete independence from Great Britain. Gandhi believed that self-rule was only possible if his country was empowered to overthrow the "fourfold disaster" that centuries of British rule had imposed on the economic, political, cultural, and spiritual life of India (Shirer 30). Gandhi realized that only the most practical of weapons would prevail. For this reason, he chose.."

Abstract
This paper explains that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, utilized non-violence as the great "weapon of the strong", which he used to unite the Hindus and Muslim within India to gain independence from the British Empire. The author points out that, in his fight towards separation from the empire, he also fought for the rights of landless farmers and poor farm owners who were forced to grow Indigo or other cash crops, which were exported to the Empire, instead of food, causing mass hunger within these small communities. The paper states that Gandhi's influence within the Indian National Congress was almost indisputable because he was considered the father of India and the leader of the Hindu society.
From the Paper
"In 1893, he was offered a one year contract to practice as an attorney in Natal, South Africa, this experience launched his humanitarian campaign. Mohandas K. Gandhi life changed drastically when he went through many hardships and oppressive experiences through the courts and see the Indian population in South Africa. When he worked on one of his cases in Durban, South Africa, he suffered a great humiliation in court when he was ordered to remove his turban he decided from that day that he would become a catalyst towards the injustice being done to the Indian population."

Abstract
This paper examines how Mohandas Gandhi was the leader of the nationalist movement against British rule and considered to be the father of his country. He is internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest to achieve political and social progress. It looks at how he was the initiator of three of the major types of revolutions of the 20th century: the revolutions against colonialism, racism, and violence.
From the Paper
"Gandhi studied the conditions in which his countrymen lived and tried to educate them on their rights and duties. When Gandhi learned that the Natal Legislative Assembly was considering a bill to deprive Indians of the right to vote, he decided that he could not accept injustice as part of the natural or unnatural order in South Africa. He devoted himself to the struggle for basic rights for Indians. Gandhi remained in South Africa for 20 years, suffering imprisonment many times. He was unable to stop the bill from passing, however; he was successful in getting the attention of the media and shining light on the injustice. In 1894, Gandhi founded a group called the Natal Indian Congress. This special interest group swamped the government, the legislature, and the press with directly reasoned statements of Indian grievances."

Abstract
This paper explains that, indisputably, Gandhi?s role as a freedom and peace fighter made way for India to gain independence from the British Empire. The author points out that Gandhi took on the British empire?s policies of injustice, discrimination, and colonial domination without any violent means, rather choosing to exert the political pressure of mass agitations controlled by truth and non-violence, or ?satagraha?. The paper relates that Gandhi sought to achieve not only political independence, but also social reform; he succeeded in gaining independence for oppressed women and making the mistreatment of the untouchables illegal.
From the Paper
"Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born into an elite family in Porbandar on October 2, 1889, received an education in law at University College, London. In 1891, after being admitted to the British bar, Gandhi returned to India and made an unsuccessful attempt to practice law in Bombay. Shortly after, an Indian firm with interests in South Africa retained him as legal adviser in its office in Durban. Arriving in Durban, Gandhi found himself treated as a member of an inferior race. He was appalled at the widespread denial of civil liberties and political rights to Indian immigrants. After being attacked and beaten by white South Africans, he began to teach the policy of passive resistance against injustice, oppression and wrong."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"In the days of Martin?s theological studies as a monk, he studied the bible rigorously. One passage in the bible stood out in his mind: ?The just shall live by faith.? One of Luther?s first assignments as a monk was to join another monk in a trip to Rome. In Martin Luther?s mind Rome was a sacred place. Instead of a sacred place Luther saw a place of wickedness, greed, crime and corruption (Harper). Luther states: ?Where God builds a church, the Devil puts a chapel next door.? He also stated: ?The closer to Rome,the worse the Christians.? "

"As outlined in Chapter 16, "The Struggles for Asia, 1920-1945" Mohandas Gandhi appears to be an unparalleled leader and inspirer of human political motivation. The book implies that Gandhi was responsible for the transformation of the demand for independence into a nationwide mass movement that mobilized every class of society against the imperialist forces of Britain. As is often the case, the free India that came into being, divided and committed to a program of modernization and industrialization, was not the India of his dreams.
The highlights of his life show a man of action. Born Oct. 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, in 1893 he went to South Africa to battle for the rights of Indians, an event which would influence his initial struggle in 1915 for India's independence. A..."

The Roles of Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli & John Calvin, 2002.

Abstract
This essay discusses how Martin Luther diverged theologically from the Catholic Church, the ways in which Zwingli?s and Calvin?s theology differed from Luther?s, and the long terms effects of the Protestant Reformation movement on European politics and society. Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin were the central figures in the Protestant Reform Movement of the 16th century. Since Luther had initiated the process of religious reform and taken a bold stand against the hitherto all-powerful Roman Church, he is widely considered to be one of the most crucial figures in modern Western history with his influence extending beyond religion into politics, economics, and education.
Zwingli and Calvin also played significant roles in simplifying the Christian theology and in consolidating the Protestant Reform movement in Europe, though they had their theological differences with Luther.
From the Paper
"The Roman Catholic Church and the papacy based in Rome had enjoyed an enormous amount of power in Europe and the rest of Western civilization for over a thousand years until a young German monk named Martin Luther (1483-1546) sparked off the Reformation movement of the 16th century in 1517."

Abstract
This paper looks at the ideas Martin Luther shared in his narrative that is featured in "Martin Luther: Selections From His Writings". The writer maintains that Luther's substance and style made very logical and straightforward the Christian tenets that the Roman Catholic Church had put forth as dogmatic and dreary. The writer claims that for those able to digest Luther's profundity and intellectual vigor, it is shown that the path to understanding the Word of God (through Christ) does not lead through fields of dogma and fear. Rather, one can find peace through Christ simply by believing in the righteous truths Christ and his apostles put forward. The writer explains that salvation is available through faith and truth and righteousness based on Christ's life and doctrine, not through questionable man-made creeds designed to control and manipulate society.
From the Paper
"There are many aspects of his tome which are extremely impressive - beyond the fact of their truthfulness and poignancy. One of those aspects is his passion in regards to fully explaining why he is writing Pope Leo is remarkable. Luther is very vivid and direct in the energy he expends through the written word. In presenting his case, he writes that he is so inflamed with the desire that truth be known, he has no choice but to lash out in the name of a correct interpretation of Christianity. This presentation may sound conceited and arrogant in hindsight (by saying he was above those who challenged him), but Luther really had no alternative, given that his back was against the wall."
