 * Mohandas Karamchand "Mahatma" Gandhi**

Have you ever heard of Gandhi? Well, if you haven't, there's some things you should know about him. Gandhi was born in Porbandar, India in a Hindu household on October 2, 1869. Gandhi grew up and like most children, had dreams. He started his life mostly as studying to be a lawyer. He went to London and studied there. He became a lawyer finally, but that didn't mean everything was fine and dandy. One day when he was on the train, and had paid first class to ride, a white british man got on and told him to give up his seat. He remained seated and said he paid for that spot and deserved to stay seated there. The conductor wouldn't tollerate this behavior and told him to move to the third class. Gandhi objected to that still. He kept telling the man and conductor that he had the same right, but they didn't listen. Instead of leaving him alone or sending him back to third class, he was thrown out of the train and forced to sleep in the train station for the rest of the night. After that he thought that that was enough and tried fighting for Indian equality for 20 years in South Africa. Gandhi had objected to his British ruling for far too long. While still protesting, Gandhi moved into a self-sufficient residential community and wove his shawls and dhoti. He fasted as protest to show the British colonial ruling what was going on in life that they didn't have enough pride to swallow. When he wasn't fasting, he was a strict vegetarian. He sheltered the less fortunate, homeless, famished, and all lower classes. He believed in equality and he thought no one special or underclassified.

And that is how much i know about Mohnadas Karamchand Gandhi. Thank You.
