Gandhi








 This is a movie which everyone should watch. It is about Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Gandhi was called as Mahatma because of his anti-war thought. He always will prefer non violence. Even though he followed anti-war method he still achieved his goal especially getting India its independence. He was absolute inspiration for lots of people around the world.


 He was always disagree towards prejudice and discrimination towards Indians, He always insisted equality among people to create a peaceful nation. A scene from the movie where he was asked to leave the first class compartment even though he had the ticket. However he was adamant to leave and he was thrown out of the train. This ignited the though in Gandhi to start a Non violent protest campaign because he understood there are discrimination towards Indians. After facing a lot of hurdles Gandhi reached his goal because he made the government to make some changes on rights of Indians.
Gandhi was also a strong men who are persuasive. He always follows the non violent method to persuade people around him. This can be related when there were fight between Hindus and Muslims in India, Gandhi begin fasting. This was a way to indicate his unhappiness towards the issue. It however worked and the fight was stopped. He always wanted an united nation without any differences between the population but however he agreed to separate the parts of India to prevent Civil War as threatened by Muhammad Ali Jinnah. 

I was also astonished with the leadership quality of Mahatma Gandhi which is outstanding. He always apply democratic leadership style where it ,mostly provides a positive outcome. Gandhi always open to feedback and ideas from his friend Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and both of them shares their decision making process. This made Gandhi as a successful leader and he always give importance and respect to others opinion too. He never thought that he is the leader and treated others simply.

 However, towards the end of the movie it was quiet unhappy to see that after a lots of hard work and sacrifices Mahatma Gandhi did there were still rivalry among Indians from different religions such as Hindus and Muslims. It was disturbing to see the rivalry between citizens of India are attacking each other. Gandhi was very unhappy with the issue going on and he started fasting until he the commotion stops. Here I would say that we can achieve something big without being aggressive and violent. We should always choose a nonviolent method to make some difference around us. When we realie this there will be no need to hurt others or take revenge to achieve anything. As the saying goes "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" we must understand this to
 maintain a harmonious country. The messages that Mahatma Gandhi conveyed to us trough
 words and behaviour itself should be practised by all of us.
