"the light has gone out of our lives There is darkness everywhere." -Jawaharllal Nehru, prime minister of India at the time of Gandhi's death

Gandhi was beaten several times for various reasons including the time wen he burned the passes

Yes they were very poor. I'm just looking up the answer for research. I don't really know the answer. His Father was a doctor and he was a teacher in geometry, mechanics, and astronomy.

He achieved his goals for getting India independence from the British rule by starting non-violent protests and refusing to use British goods such as clothes and salt. He also fasted. As a young man, he used similar methods in seeking civil rights for Asians in South Africa.

Gandhi's father's name was Karamchand Gandhi. His mother's name was Putlibai. His wife's name was Kasturba

there were 78 people in dandi march......

Both Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela were human rights activists for their countries. Mahatma Gandhi protested for India's independence from Britain and Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid in South Africa.

This is a very subjective, purely based upon what you're trying to achieve. From a large-scale historical perspective, a good argument can be made towards the leadership of August Caesar. His leadership helped stabilize the fledgling Roman "Empire," and it blossomed under him.

A strong case can be made for Charlemagne as well with his contribution to the Frank people.

If you're talking from a revolutionary standpoint, Mao Tse Tung should be placed near the top of any list - his ability to unify agrarian China and revolutionize the way the country was ran can be considered remarkable.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt help rescue America from one of the darkest economic disasters in the post-industrial history of the world.

A couple others to think about, in no particular order...

Napoleon Bonaparte

Abraham Lincoln

Winston Churchill

Adolf Hitler (yes, I mention him in this list - it's all subjective, but his economic principles were sound. In fact, Volkswagon is still around today - and that was a work of Hitler!)

Lenin

Cleopatra

Genghis Khan

Richard I

Catherine the Great

Ho Chi Minh

Nelson Mandela

Julius Caesar

Alexander the Great

Cyrus

Peter the Great

Shi Huang Di (Unified China)

I did not mention religious leaders as a rule of thumb. Although they are powerful in their own right, they would not be considered a great "world leader" as they were founders of their respective religions and as such, religion is open to interpretation and will usually be dependant on the religion of the reader.

Carl's Answers(Not including Jesus)

1. Charles Martel:He won the historic battle of Tours in 10 October 732 against the Berbers, therefore saving the world and Christianity for Muslim(Berber) rule.......He was also the grand father of Charles the great(Charlemagne)

2. St. Joan Of Arc: She had visions in which see saw saints and saved France from the English

7. Charlemagne: He was the grandson of the great Charles Martel, he ruled over the biggest empire in Europe since Roman times and was the first emperor to get the title of Holy Roman Emperor

There are many more great people, who were great leaders, However their list is very big it will take more than a lifetime to right about them

Another great leader is Adolf Hilter. Even though his intentions were evil he brought a country that was poor, weak, and owed money to the rest of the world into one of the most feared super powers that history has ever seen. Once this country reached its peak every other nation feared Germany. That is why Adolf Hitler was one of the greatest leaders of all time.

The "Salt March"

Britain abolished its own salt tax in 1825, when the mineral became important to the manufacturing processes emerging in the Industrial Revolution [source: Le Couteur]. Nevertheless, the tax persisted in British colonies like India, where it was illegal to collect even natural deposits of salt.

To understand why the British salt tax was so oppressive to the Indian people, it helps to know a bit about the subcontinent's climate and culture. India's hot weather promotessweating, which drains the human body of its salt supply. And because Indians don't eat much meat -- a natural source of salt -- they rely on supplementary salt to maintain a healthy amount in the body. Taxing the mineral that Indian people relied on for survival was just one way that the British government kept Indians under its thumb.

But on the morning of March 12, 1930, Gandhi set out to change that. He and 78 followers started marching from the Sabarmati Ashram toward Dandi on the Arabian Sea. More people joined the band of protesters along the journey of 240 miles (386.2 kilometers). Covering between 10 to 15 miles (16 to 24 kilometers) a day, Gandhi reached his destination in 24 days [source: Nojeim]. During the march, he stopped in villages to convince government officials to resign in protest and to encourage people to pledge nonviolence. When he got to the sea, Gandhi collected a chunk of salt, which was against the law. The act inspired a crime wave of illegal salt collection and thousands of arrests.

GANDHI has influence many of us today through his authentic deeds, he has though us to prevent war between Hinduism and Islamism and his good deed, today we are inspired not to have war, for WAR won't solve peace but brings on MORE HATRED! We cannot solve war by hatred but by WISDOM, PEACE AND LOVE!

mahatma gandhi condemned the pentangular tournament because that tournament was played on the basis of communities and divided the communities at a time when freedom fighters were trying to create a sense of nationalism in the mind of all the diverse population of india

He rightly believed that India needed to be self sufficient in order to free itself from Colonoal rule.

gandhiji was shot bu nathuram godse......

So he could understand the Indians better to know how to speak to them.

The Salt March was a peace movement in which Gandhi has participated. Indian citizens protested on a salt mill and the British officers stationed at the mill beat the protesters senseless. However, the protester's remained pacifistic and showed no sign of rebellion. All in all, it was a major movement in which the Indian citizen's participated in and it ended up causing nationalistic feelings in other countries.
