India Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), courtesy name Mahatma Gandhi, was the leader of the Indian National Liberation Movement and the leader of the National Congress Party of India.
Gandhi was the founding father of India and the founder of Gandhiism, a modern political doctrine that advocated nonviolent resistance. His spiritual ideas led the country towards independence, free from British colonial rule. His philosophy of "non-violence" influenced nationalists around the world and international movements for peaceful change.
【Character Experience】Born on October 2, 1869 in India under the shackles of British colonialism, he grew up in a Hindu family that believed in benevolence, non-killing, vegetarianism and asceticism. He was shy, shy, and conformist from an early age. At the age of 13, he married an illiterate girl of the same age according to his parents' orders.
In 1888, Gandhi was expelled from the caste and traveled far and wide to london to study law at University College London. The exotic civilization had caused Gandhi to feel deeply inferior and fall at his feet, and the constraints of religious stereotypes had left him at a loss in a whole new environment. After a short period of confusion and exploration, he finally gave up the blind imitation of Western civilization, adhered to the original religious beliefs and eclectic other religious doctrines, received an education in British legal thought, obtained a law degree from University College London, and obtained a lawyer qualification.
After returning home from his studies, he began practicing law in Mumbai, but suffered setbacks. The first time he fought a lawsuit for someone, he smashed the pot because of the stage fright. Half a year later, he returned home and maintained his legal career in his hometown of Rachcourt with the financial support of his brother and relatives and friends. The dullness of his lawyer's business and the suffocating environment made him feel depressed and depressed. When he had a case from an Indian in South Africa to deal with, he embarked on a journey to South Africa without hesitation.
In 1915, Gandhi returned to India. In the early years of his return to China, he traveled around India in a third-class car to gain an insight into his long-lost homeland. A year later, he began to give speeches, propagate his ideas, engage in nonviolent struggle, and experiment and develop the doctrine of nonviolence. He supported the war that was underway at the time, hoping to exchange british favors and grant Indian autonomy. The actions of the colonial authorities after World War I transformed Gandhi from a loyal follower of the British Empire into a non-collaborator.
In April 1942, under the situation of the rising anti-British sentiment of the broad masses in India and the imminent approach of the Japanese invaders to India, Gandhi put forward the slogan of Britain's "withdrawal from India", and successively launched the third non-cooperation movement from 1940 to 1941 and the fourth non-cooperation movement, both of which were suppressed by the British.
Gandhi was imprisoned until May 1944. After the war, the British government, which was in internal and external difficulties, was under pressure from the resurgence of the Indian national liberation movement and agreed to India's demand for independence. However, due to the long-standing differences and antagonisms between the Indian and Muslim religions, coupled with the influence of the British policy of divide and rule, the partition of India and Pakistan has become a foregone conclusion. Gandhi worked tirelessly to maintain the unity of India, but he had no power to return to heaven and had to accept partition.
After independence, Gandhi gained great respect from the People of India and the Congress Party. On January 30, 1948, Gandhi was assassinated by Hindu diehards.
[Political] Under Gandhi's leadership, the Indian Congress Party jumped from a weak political party to the leader of the mass movement, and India's anti-British independence movement quickly expanded to the whole people. Through his perseverance, India eventually won independence. However, the significance is not only this, his contribution to India, but also the strong spiritual power he showed, he influenced almost an entire generation of Indians, and the unique ideological system he created deeply affected all aspects of Indian politics, economy, literature and so on.
