Gandhi Fighter Essay, Research Paper


Without a Sword Gandhi, one of the world?s greatest figures, has already


become a legend. In this book Jeanette Eaton shows him as a human being. While


still a young man, Gandhi adopted the austere way of living that was until the


day he died. He did not want comforts and luxuries when so many of his


countrymen lived in terrible poverty. He ate only the most frugal diet and in


his later years wore a peasant?s costume. But he himself was anything but


austere. Laughter was to him life?s most healing gift, even when it was


directed against himself. When young Indian children become a certain age and


their body is mature enough they are allowed to get married. Gandhi was


described very short and skinny with his dark eyes. He had noticed everything in


his path and along the way. It was very hard for the people in the village to do


anything near early dawn because only oil lamps gave off light. Gandhi had a


younger brother. Before Gandhi had gone to high school he had been used to


putting the jasmine wreaths on the images of Shiva and Krishna and Radha. Now


every day that he has gone to school he snatch?s his breakfast and leaves.


Everyday before he enters the temple him and his brother slip their slippers of


before they enter the temple. In this way the day began in a small town in


western India. Although it was many years ago, the majority of Indian people


live in much the same way now. The climate is so warm that as much work as


possible is done in the early hours. Therefore many schools open soon after


daybreak and, like shops and offices, close in the heat of the day. Gandhi, like


any other Indian boys took being married, and going to school for granted


because ed

ucation was very hard for people to learn and to get a good job to not


work on the fields day and night. Gandhi was very happy for that he was married


to Kasturbai (his wife) because she had changed his life in both work wise and


study wise. Whenever Kasturbai is along she goes to Gandhi?s mother for advice


how to live her life and how she can improve her marriage with Gandhi. The


family would have meetings ever night to discuss how work, and school was. When


Gandhi became the main leader of his land everybody came to him for advice and


leadership to fight many laws. Gandhi was fighting to reduce the taxes on the


families and for men to earn an equal amount as people in America. Gandhi


intended to form an ambulance corps for service in the British army. This was


the announcement that so stunned his followers. He made it in a speech to the


natal Indian congress soon after the outbreak of war. Two sentences explained


his attitude. ?Our one hope of freedom as a people? he said ?is through


development within the British Empire. Therefore we must help defend it?. Some


listeners were convinced by his argument. Others were willing to follow him


blindly. Soon eight hundred indentured workers and three hundred free Indians


were serving under the British flag in camps and hospitals. When Japan conquered


Burma and threatened India on the hand and china on the other, inaction became


intolerable. Even Gandhi began to feel that his pacifism might stand in the way


of India?s future position among the nation?s fighting for freedom. Gandhi


lived happy and comfortable with his wife and 2 kids. My opinion of the book is


that is was exciting in most parts. It covered the details of Gandhi?s life


and how he lived it with his family.
