School assignment: Mahatma Gandhi

There are certain things I like about Mahatma Gandhi. Firstly, his non-violence approach to every situation. I read about once in 1921 when Prince Edward of Great Britain visited India, a riot started and Gandhi tried to adopt a peaceful protest. However, the situation got out of control and a policeman was even killed by the mob. Secondly, the fighting spirit in him. Once, when his request for the taxes for salt and land was rejected, he solved the problem by making salt from the seawater with a group of devotees.
However, nobody is perfect and there is one thing that I do not like about him. Firstly, the way he tends to put his life in danger on purpose to try and resolve the problem. Once when he called for the British to leave India while speaking to the people, protesting loudly, he landed in jail. He did not give up but the way he tried to get the British to leave was wrong. What he did was to go on a hunger strike for twenty-one days, putting his life at risk.
He is unique as he did not fight back when attacked, did not give up when he failed and the fact that he is very humble. How many people can you find on the street that leave you alone, do not give you weird looks or harbour bad feelings against you if you attack them? How many people can you find that keep trying till the end? How many people are there that, despite having a celebrity status, calls his enemies his brothers? Very little.
Mahatma Gandhi is a great leader, a great person and we should all learn from him.
