lieved that all humans were equal and that no one should have privileges. One of his ideas to counter this was to develop small self-sufficient villages all across India, but this was never achieved. Although he wanted to get rid of the British authorities, the little man was not really hostile to them. He saw the British as equal human beings and, even after an Independent India, he wished to remain friends with them.Mohandas Gandhi also reinvented the way to fight against oppression and injustices. He believed in the power of non-violence; as he said : An eye for an eye and the world will go blind. Instead of using violence to achieve his goal, he formed non-violence and non-cooperation movements. Furthermore, in contrast with his party colleagues, he lived and dressed like the poor majority of Indian villagers. He thought that in this way he would bring more people on his side for the struggle because they would see him as equal to them. In fact, Gandhi not only made his own clothes to be closer to the Indian people, but also to obtain economic independence by not buying British goods from the cotton mills of Lancashire. Thus, when all these actions were not working or if there was some sort of violence raising among his people, he was starting a strain. It was working most of the time.Even if he did achieve a lot, the great soul was not sure that he had succeeded, because after all the non-violence he preached, his people, the Muslims and the Hindus, were fighting against each other. Then, mostly because of this conflict and how he positioned himself with regard to it, in 1948, he was assassinated. That day, the world lost a significant leader. After all, Gandhi will always be remembered for his non-violent actions and he is still a model for people who suffer injustices in the world. Now and forever, Monhandas K. Gandhi will be synonym of Peace.Monhandas K. Gandhi1869-1948...
