Question

A write up on and then Gandhi came

Answer 1

"And then gandhi came"is an extract from Nehru's "Discovery of india". In this lesson, he writes about the timely arrival of gandhiji to indian politics. Nehru describes the troubles and difficulties india had to suffer during the "second world war". The war brought more troubles than any relief. People were more disappointed. Many peoples lost their jobs. It was really a critical period. It was at this time, gandhiji came to indian politics. It was like a powerful current of fresh air. It pierced the darkness. He encouraged them to act with courage. Gandhiji was an ordinary man. He was not a superman to do the miracles on all a sudden. But he exhorted people to stop their exploitation. He wanted to avoid poverty and misery from the lives of indians. His teaching instilled fearlessness and truth. His personality was like a magnet which attracted many persons. He concludes the lesson with a compliment on Gandhi that he attracted even his opponents and many neutrals for a great cause
