Intentionality and determination; these are two qualities that define Gandhi’s life and his message. Everything Gandhi accomplished can be attributed to his commitment to being intentional in his message and actions. Satyagraha was his principle that had the most success, the one that he spent the most time developing and transforming into. His ideas and values can be stated clearly through his assertion that “I am a Christian and a Hindu and a Moslem and a Jew” (Fischer, 2010, p. 141). It…

bureaucrat that he was, was undoubtedly attracted towards socialism and few other Western philosophies, one of them being Secularism. Nehru was also never a religious person, he considered religious activities as naive since there is no science behind. But Gandhi, on the other hand, was a religious person, and one of the few who could link religion with politics.

He was traveling on a train in South Africa when he was thrown off for being an Indian while sitting in first class. After being thrown off a train he then realized that laws were biased against Indians. When he would have protest he would always have non-violent protest because he did not believe in violence.

Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi and their examples of nonviolent protest in order to show how nonviolence prevails over violence. “Dr. King’s entire life was an example of power that nonviolence brings to bear in the real world” (1-2). Chavez alludes to King in order to prove that…

Identity is defined as “the condition of being oneself or itself, and not another” (Dictionary.com Unabridged). Identity is what separates one being from another, creating a sense of individuality. For one’s entire life, they fit within this definition; therefore, a person is born with an identity. As they develop, however, their identity changes based on personal choice. In other words, the identity of a person is not stagnant; it is a fluid description of a person based on various aspects of…

A string of facts behind facts does not register as well as something that can be directly connected to someone. Although both Martin Luther King, author of “Letter From Birmingham City Jail” and a strong advocate for African American rights, and Gandhi, author of the “Dandi March Speech” and leader of the Indian Independence Movement, both use rhetoric to further convey their message of equality and nonviolent direct action to their audience, King’s passion infused diction is ultimately more…
