Mahatma Gandhi Essay

Life of a Great Man

A man is called great when he contributes something to the cause of human peace, unity, happiness, brotherhood or fellow-feeling. There is no dearth of great men who have contributed to the growth and prosperity of human civilization. But among them, I have chosen Mahatma Gandhi as my ideal great man.

Mahatma Gandhi’s original name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He was born in Rajkot in Gujarat on the 2nd October 1869. His father Karamchand Gandhi was the Prime Minister of Rajkot. His mother Putlibhai was a saintly lady.

He took his early education in Rajkot and after passing the Entrance Examination; he went to England and became a lawyer. Gandhi practised law in the Bombay High Court. Then he went to South Africa and joined the bar.

In 1915 he returned to India and took the leadership of the Indian National Congress and started several movements against the British. At last under his leadership, India got independence from the British on 15th August 1947.

I admire him the most. It is because he sacrificed his life for the cause of our nation. Besides this, he tried his best to unite Hindus and Muslims.

He was a great social worker also. He tried to banish untouchability and communalism from India. He gave much importance to the development of the cottage industry in India. He introduced Basic Education in India. He was a writer also. His autobiography My Experience with Truth is praised by millions of readers. He was assassinated by a fanatic Hindu named Nathuram Godse on 30th January 1948.

We should follow the great ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. 0 0 0
