Summary:

In the bbc.co.uk article,"Mohandas Gandhi (1869 - 1948)," the author writes about Gandhi’s history from his birth in 1869 until he was assassinated in1948 in Delhi by a Hindu fanatic. He was learning to be a barrister in London. Next, he came back to India in 1891 and in 1893 worked an Indian law company in Durban, South Africa. After that, he returned to India to face violence against British rule. He was imprisoned for six years but he was released after two years and he was continuing to work hard to improve Hindu-Muslim relations. He and people who agree with him were striking against British products. He was the sole representative of the Indian National Congress in London.

In my opinion, I like to write about the most famous people's history so I was interested in reading about them, especially, the people who are similar to Mohandas Gandhi. He was educated, brave, and an adventurous man, so his life had a lot of adventures until his assassination. Although he faced many troubles in his life to prevent violence, he had not given up until a Hindu fanatic assassinated him. In addition, I agree with what he had done in his fight against violence, because there is no doctrine or religions support for any kind of segregation. I wish we had people like Mohandas Gandhi now; also it is very hard to find people like him now.
