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.

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."

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."

"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..."

Introduction
Mohandas K. Gandhi lived a long and productive life which had many different cycles to it.

Before that, he spent time in London and was a very Anglicized Indian trained in the British law. In the following pages, the intent is to trace Gandhi's intellectual and moral evolution.
The Early Years
Gandhi was a typical child of colonial India. He was born in Porbandar on the west coast of India, the fourth and youngest ..."

"Ghandi
Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948) was the political-spiritual leader whose intense charismatic appeal overcame impossible odds to unite the people of India in driving out the British and establishing self-rule. The definition of charisma in a leader as a unique godly or special quality is especially applicable to Gandhi. Gandhi comprehended that in order to lead it was necessary that a huge mass of very different kinds of people recognize that he understood their experience and identified with it thoroughly. Gandhi's charisma stemmed from the unique inclusiveness of his vision, as the name he was given, Mahatma or great soul, testifies. He developed a political method in Satyagraha (non-violence as a means to power), saw his personal spiritual search for Truth as inseparable from political action, and demonstrated in his own..."

From the Paper
"No Indian since Buddha has so fully captured the imagination, or taught the world as much, as Mohandas Gandhi. As one of the most complex personalities of the 20th century (Rushdie 129), his actions affected the lives of millions of people. His leadership of the movement to end British rule brought about India?s independence and introduced a revolutionary new political method.
Few historical figures seemed as unlikely a candidate for memorable greatness as Gandhi. He was a soft-spoken, frail-looking man who would confer with his British adversaries dressed in the traditional Indian dhoti and sandals. Committed to a life of poverty, he occupied no elected office, held no academic distinction and made no scientific discoveries. And yet, upon hearing of his death in 1948, no less a figure than Albert Einstein.."

Abstract
This paper details the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born in 1869 in Porbandar, India. It looks at how Mahatma Gandhi is known as one of strongest symbols of non-violence in the 20th Century due to his activist role and religious leadership. It examines how he greatly influenced the world in many ways by practicing and teaching throughout his life. Gandhi was a thinker, a philosopher, a wise statesman and a man of action and his teachings remain relevant to a new generation that has been typically been driven to cynicism and despair by the chaos and dishonesty of the politics of our times.
From the Paper
"Gandhi was inspired by his religious mother. She belonged to a branch of Hinduism that taught non-violence and tolerance between religious groups was very important. Gandhi spent his life searching for truth and harmony with nature. He believed truth could be known only through tolerance and concern for others and that finding a truthful way to solutions required constant testing. He even titled his autobiography My Experiments with Truth. Gandhi overcame fear and taught others to master fear. His belief in nonviolence guided his teachings that to be truly nonviolent required courage. He lived a simple life and thought it was wrong to kill animals for food or for clothing. ?Gandhi found materialism to be the main characteristic of modern civilization, in which spirituality seemed to be undervalued? (Ishii, 2001)."

Abstract
Mahatma Gandhi was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a charismatic
leader who brought the cause of India's independence from the British colonial rule to the attention of the world. This paper examines how he was a pacifist, a human rights activist and mental leader of the Indian movement of independence, which, in 1947, introduced the concept of a non-violent resistance to end the British colonial rule of India. It also discusses how Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence, which he termed satyagraha, influenced nationalist and international movements for peaceful change.
From the Paper
"Gandhi's concept or advocacy of nonviolent resistance to authority has proved effective in certain governments, especially in dictatorial governments in Southeast Asia. In 1986 in the Philippines, people in the streets gathered around the military headquarters to protect the rebelling soldiers from the attack of the established government. This was a celebrated event called EDSA People Power 1 known and watched the world over. It led to the eventual surrender of the dictator President Ferdinand Marcos and the installation of Corazon Aquino into the presidency. Henry David Thoreau's civil disobedience method was used in the successful and nearly bloodless popular revolution."

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.

This paper looks at the life and mission of Gandhi. His unique leadership style of peaceful protest and restraint are examined. This paper attempts to trace the development of his concepts of leadership, and examine how such strategies were, and can still be, realistic and effective.
From the Paper
"Gandhi seems at first to have been an unlikely candidate to achieve such fame and earn such devotion. Born in 1869 in the small town of Porbander near Bombay, he was raised in the traditional Hindu way by his family. His father had a Grade Three education; his mother was illiterate. At the age of thirteen, he was married by arrangement to an eleven-year-old girl. His high-school grades were poor, and he was extremely shy."
