Biography of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation of India

The life of Mahatma Gandhi took a rather interesting turn in 1897. Just as he was writing the first chapter of his book A Sujay Satya Pradhanman (Protection of the Rights of Man), Mahatma Gandhi was arrested in 1914, while celebrating the birthday of Lord Buddha in Mecca. The police did not believe that Gandhi was a Mahatma, but as time went on, more and more of the protestors signed his petition and asked the British government to review the issue. They had to take back the decision and relive it. 

Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday is on October 2, 1906, of the year that he was born, and as the name suggests, it is celebrated all over the world. Everyone celebrates it in different ways, but Gandhi’s birthday begins with a fast (usually only for ten days) for him at his home and concludes with an award ceremony for the person who has the most appropriate Gandhi quotes for Gandhi and the cause of freedom (or the liberty of the Indian people) in India. Each year, people in India take part in a series of celebrations which culminate on the 16th of December. This is one reason that we know Gandhi more than on a personal level—by day, he is the man who led a people to their freedom from the British.

 Although Gandhi has been a part of our lives for a very long time, he probably lived the most interesting years of his life in 1918. After the firebombings of 1902, the British decided to try and build a barrier along the border of the British territory in India. This was the start of the Free India Act of 1917, which was a provisional constitution for India. The British left their territory to the people, and India became independent. Gandhi called this “The Freedom of Man.” 

That freedom, a right to the Indian people for the body they have been ruled by to date, and freedom for them to talk to anyone about India. That freedom came about because of Gandhi’s personal dreams of his people. 

Gandhi wrote a very similar amount of work in 1918 as he had done in 1915, 1917, and 1928. “The people of India should learn to talk to each other,” he declared. “The Hindus should listen to the Muslims and the Muslims to the Christians. Dialogue and understanding are better than coercion.” Gandhi was convinced that the only way for India to be free is if all the Indians learned to speak to one another, but that soon became problematic, because of the intolerance that he wanted everyone to remember. 

The people’s attitudes were too educated for everyone to understand each other, and this could lead to wars and war would end the mission. 

Gandhi often discussed with his 

colleagues how to make a split to civil war. For many Muslims, Gandhi wrote, “How Is It Possible to Discuss Modern, Provincial Problems with the East Religious Communities without Saying Racial Language?” In 1919, Gandhi sent his own colleague, Moriya Mahatma, who had already not given him the authority to write for himself, to Delhi, and there they had a meeting with Tamils and Muslims. They started talking and discovered that they were one large family (everyone would take his name and combine it with the name of his family). 

The clash for their freedom became a very interesting topic. It ended up with their supporters, the Muslims, merging and arguing about the difference between the Muslims that want their religion and Islam to be protected, and the people that want to vote the Hindus out of power. “The Muslims asked, Why should Indians talk to you?” The rest of the group came up with their own answer and asked Gandhi, who had agreed to the meeting, to give a reason. 

After a discussion of how to solve the religious issues, Moriya and Gandhi were somewhat happy, and then Muhammad Sardar Azam was quickly replaced by Allahangi Khan. We know that today that the question of how can people talk to each other has been applied to the true meaning of religion and that is what Gandhi’s desire was from the very beginning. It is one of the many amazing things about Gandhi that he achieved.
