Hello again, how much time!

Now I think it was interesting to talk about someone that we admire. And the first person that I imagine when we said admiration is Mahatma Ghandi. I'm sure that you has hear about this man.

He born in India, in 1869 in the small city of Porbandar, and was a lawyer, thinker and a politician.
He study law in London, and when he finish, he return to India
Since 1919 he be prominent against the Indian nacional movement. He establish a new way to social struggle like the hunger strike, in general he dislikes the war and the armed fight, even he prefer the civil desobedience. This lawyer defend the return to the old tradition, and the Indian culture.
The writer Tolstoi influence a lot the Ghandi thought, and help in his concept of no force resistance that means protest but in the peaceful way, to change the culture and the society. This ideas were really important during the Indian independence.

In my opinion this man was amazing because fight for his country and even  was in jail many times because his ideas. For India Mahatma Ghandi was a great example of courage, and not only for India, to the world too.

That's all for today,
I hope see you next week!
