Mahatma Gandhi Unjust Analysis

Decent Essays
The assassination of Mohandas Gandhi was unjust because he was non- violent, and he fought for people's rights in India, and Gandhi was a feature of help by bringing
Hindus and Muslims together to share power: however some believe that Gandhi had too much power. The society of India hated him also.

First one reason why the killing of Gandhi was unjust because flat out and clearly he was a non violent person. Mohandas Gandhi did not hurt anyone or when he was hurt and beaten he did not attempt to fight back or anything. For example the author in “How did Gandhi- win”stated. “ His disobedience set off a mass compliance of non-violent that swept the country.”

Next another reason was that Gandhi was a source of help to India. If he was helping India why would they want to kill him. For example in this particular article” A Divided Movement”the author states “Gandhi began to bring to bring Hindus and Muslims together to share power. This explains that Gandhi killing was wrong so his assassination was wrong.

The people that believe his killing was justified because what he was doing the government of India thought that was wrong. Although the help Gandhi provided to the society of Gandhi was kind people still wanted to kill him. Gandhi’s assassination is still remained unjustified.

Finally to conclude my argument Mohandas Gandhi assassination was unjust because he was non-violent, and he was a colossal and immense feature of help. Also to go along with the reason why his killing was unjust because he was simply a kind and nice person. There was no reason to kill

    Civil disobedience is defined as members of a community choosing to actively disobey laws in protest of a cause. As proponents of civil disobedience, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi advocated for those following their causes to complete acts disregarding unjust laws put in place to draw attention to their separate causes. This method of fighting for a cause emphasizes understanding of the necessity for change, that people are actively defying the law to draw attention to the unfair systems in place. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. used this to promote his movement of racial equality as compared with Gandhi’s movement for the separation of India from Britain. Both of their similar philosophies resulted in a degree of success, “the peaceful…

    The murder of a famous individual such as a religious leader, politician, famous celebrity or a royal is known as an assassination. Regardless of the reason that provoked the assassinations, they all ended in the death of a public figure known by all and in most cases loved by the general public which is the reason so much attention is brought to their death in the first place. In some cases, the assassinations have caused chaos and even triggered civil wars. Assassinations can be tracked back for as long as governments and tribes have existed and are not bound by borders of a specific country and spread all over the world in history. Most assassinations are backed by clear motives be it religious idealism, politics, jealousy or revenge.…

    The use of victim impact statements as aggravating evidence during the penalty phase of a capital murder trial is in direct conflict with the Eighth Amendment and the Court’s prior precedent. The introduction of this testimony from family members, who are generally not witnesses to the crime, endangers the petitioner’s right to fairly imposed sentencing hearing by risking arbitrary and capricious actions from the jury. In the present case, victim impact statements provide three types of information to the jury. “First,” as Justice Powell explained, “it described the personal characteristics of the victims and the emotional impact of the crimes on the family.” “Secondly,” he continues, “it set forth the family members' opinions and characterizations…

    Violence is visible to our everyday lives with events such as war and fights. These violent events have tragic effects, although some may occur with a short lived prosperity. Mahatma Gandhi sums up this concept as he stated: “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent”. For example, one of the most well known wars in American history, the American Revolution, further proves Gandhi’s point. The British had a well trained army, thus, allowing them to be victorious in multiple battles, although they lost the war.…

    Gandhi is a 1982 biographical film directed by Richard Attenborough. It follows the struggle for Indian Independence through the eyes - and only through the eyes - of eminent leader, Mohandas K. Gandhi. The film is prejudiced. It brings about the idea that Independence was achieved by Gandhi alone, while undermining the roles of others who, it could be argued, played far greater roles in achieving Indian autonomy. The film’s narrow-minded focus on Gandhi and his beliefs also meant that those of others, some of which were entirely different, were lost.…
