Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi stood up for his rights, exactly like Nelson Mandela had done. What he had done affected a lot of people in a good way.
Mahatma was born on 2nd of October 1869 and he died on the 30th of January 1948.
Firstly, Mahatma Gandhi was born in Porbandar, India. In India there was a lot of things that weren’t fair and there was racism going around. Mahatma was greatly against it.
Mahatma Gandhi went to South Africa to work for the South African office of an Indian legal firm. This is when Mahatma Gandhi unexpectedly found out there was racism. When he was on a train a white guy wouldn’t sit next to him, he found out that Indians in South Africa were received with the worst jobs.
Secondly, Mahatma Gandhi was really famous for his actions and what he believed. He helped the Indians, by denying to get his finger print scanned and he wanted everyone to do the same. Mahatma thought that he helped the Indians in his country. Then they all started to follow in his lead.
Finally, Mahatma Gandhi went to prison because he denied to the things that the government told him. He protested peacefully against racism and many Indians went to prison. Mahatma said “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” Mahatma meant by saying that fighting is a really bad thing and how it can bring the worse to people. I strongly believe that he should not have gone to prison.
In conclusion, Mahatma Gandhi was a good person and did good things to have equal rights. Mahatma Gandhi went to prison for trying to make equal rights and make it fair. How his actions affected us today, that people of all races are allowed to have any job and many people are inspired by him. I think he was a good guy because he believed in equal rights and he stood up for other people.
