Mohandas Gandhi was greatly admired for his non-violent activism which eventually brought about India's independence. As a result of his success, other famous activists, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, used some of the same techniques in their struggle for human rights.
He needed to use Hindus since they were 90% of the population. So he changed his image to look alike a saint. Always sang Hindu songs to influence Hindus to make them think that he is for them. Also he used Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Nehru for his popularity. He also for a short period of time cleaned public restroom for headline in newspaters. This caught people's attention in a big way. He was very sneaky. Even he liked Britts and Muslims, he convinced Hindus that he is doing so for the success of his fight for freedom. Independence movement had been going on since 1856, he just jumped in to and gained control. He became more famous because(1) he was murdered, (2) Gandhi advised Nehru to name his daughter Indira (married to Firroz Khan) his last name Gandhi to fool Hindus. (3) used millions of rupees of Indian taxpayers' money to produce Holliwood film Gandhi with many false info. Movie Gandhi not only made M. K. Gandhi famous but also Indira Gandhi in a big way. Naive Hindus just assume that Indira Gandhi is from the same family of MK Gandhi.
Mahatma Gandhi influenced many people to start believing in Non-violence and push the British Laws using words and Non-violence.PeaceAn ipad
Most people have probably heard about Mohandas Gandhi. 1) He helped to gain independence for one of the populated nations on the Earth, India. 2) His tactic of using nonviolence inspired others such as the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. 3) He was the subject of the 1982 Academy Best Picture award winning film, which featured an incredible acting performance by Sir Ben Kingsley in the title role.
Gandhi lead his people by example. He was their example of humility, passion and doing what is right. His philosophies inspired many the world over.
Loads. When Gandhi was alive he helped people. Even after his death people follow him and have turned good. He is one of my hero and he's inspired me a lot.
Well many people were inspired by Gandhi during the US Civil Rights movement including Malcolm X and MLK, but it was mostly Martin Luther King Jr. who was truly inspired. MLK took Gandhi's methods to heart and followed in his footsteps. The most famous action was that MLK preached non-violence like Gandhi did. They both belived violence was not ever the answer.
Many famous people are not rich. Examples include Charles Manson, MC Hammer, Casey Anthony and Gandhi.
It was Gandhi's' belief that everything should be done in a non-violent manner that made him famous. He led many peaceful protests for equal rights for all people regardless of their religion, race, sex, and other such factors.
he inspired many nobel prize winners but never got a noble prize!
Many, many people joined Gandhi on the Salt march
He was inspired by his parents and many other famous scientists during his time.
Gandhi was a man of values... Believed by so many indians & some people in the world. But the fact remains that Gandhi was a selfish.
