Mahatma Gandhi

                   Mahatma Gandhi


In class we have recently been learning about Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi
was from India and born in a city called Porbandar . Mahatma Gandhi did a historic
salt walk that caught the world's attention. Gandhi wanted India to be one country and
wanted people of all religions mainly the two religions Hindu and Muslim to live peacefully.


Mahatma Gandhi was born in India on the second of October 1869. At school Gandhi was
often teased. He also struggled with with his time tables. In 1887 Mahatma Gandhi just
passed his exams and after that he went to college. When he was just 13 he married
Kasturba. His marriage lasted 62 years. Mahatma Gandhi went to England for four years
and then came back to Bombay to become a lawyer.


In 1993 Mahatma Gandhi went to South Africa to fight against racism for the first time,
Gandhi saw that thousands and thousands Indians in South Africa doing the worst jobs
and were living in poor homes. Gandhi wanted to change that so he started working on the
rights for Indians. 14 years after the black act was registering indians to have their fingerprints
taken, Gandhi didn’t want to get his finger print done same with others. Many people followed
Mahatma Gandhi’s lead and keeped on refusing to have their fingerprints done so Gandhi
was sentenced to prison for 6 years same with many others.


In 1930 Mahatma Gandhi did a salt walk that caught the world's attention. He did this
because the government had put a tax on salt and said that Indians couldn’t collect their
own natural salt.  Mahatma Gandhi ignored this and collected his own salt. Lots of people
followed him and hundreds were put in prison. After more protesting the British allowed
self rule in India. 18 years after his historic salt walk Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead by
a hindu.


Mahatma Gandhi was a true leader. He was born in India in 1869. Mahatma Gandhi did
a historic salt walk that caught the world’s attention. Gandhi wanted India to be one
country and wanted people of all religions mainly the two religions Hindu and Muslim to l
ive peacefully. I think that Mahatma Gandhi was a man who never gave up. I think that
Mahatma Gandhi was a brave man because he spoke out against racism and kept fighting
even in prison.
