Mohandas K. Gandhi

Mohandas K. Gandhi, a man who stood at the forefront in the movement for Indian independence, and only from the point of this reason alone many people who suggested that she put into the main part of this book. Nevertheless, patutlah remember, India's independence from England would come with "itself" sooner or later. Because, in fact a particular strength of the impulse of history tend toward
decolonization. This we can see now that the independence of India was certainly done in a few years after the year 1947 even if Gandhi had never lived in this world.

That's right, the way Gandhi run social disobedience without violence finally managed to "persuade the British moved out" of the country. However, Even if street violence that followed, could not help she's going free spirit, too, sooner or later. Because of difficulty also conclude whether Gandhi's overall slow or speed up the freedom of India, it seems we can berkongklusi that effects the core of the steps are (at least in terms of it) is not how much. Also can be shown, Gandhi is not the founder of India's freedom movement (Indian National Congress was founded in 1885), nor is he the most important political figure at the time it gained independence.

(Of course, this idea is not entirely original; specifically Gandhi himself said the idea came in part from reading the writings of Thoreau, Tolstoy and the New Testament and also the various writings of the Hindu religious leaders). No doubt, Gandhi's politics, if acceptable to the international scale, can change the world. Unfortunately, not all can accept, even in India itself.

That's right, the years between 1945-1955 the technique used to try to persuade the Portuguese to lift the leg from Goa, this suggestion does not meet the target for a few years later the Indian government to subdue by force of arms. Moreover, in the last thirty years, India involved in war with Pakistan three times and the border war with China. Other countries are also reluctant to accept the teachings of Gandhi, the following technique. Roughly, seventy years counted from Gandhi introduced the technique of "without violence", the world is full of scuffles gelimang blood. Greatest fistfight in history.

Should we conclude that as a philosopher Gandhi clearly obvious failure? At present it seems that's the way, but, worth remembering that thirty years after the absence of the Prophet Jesus, a Roman intelligent and full information can not be concluded that the Prophet Jesus of Nazareth was a "failure" if he really listened and follow the Prophet Isa as a whole! And also no one could imagine in the year 450 BC how will influential Kong Hu-Cu in the end. Assessing the extent of what had happened, Gandhi seems feasible only included in the "respectable people." Michael H. Hart,One hundred most influential figures in the history.
