Question

Write few lines on a Indian freedom fighter in english

Answer 1

He was popularly known as Gandhiji. He was the greatest leader of the freedom movement. Although his principles were criticized on practical ground and said to deter the progress of freedom movement, they are remembered even today and consisted of high ideology. He was known as the greatest spiritual leader who inculcated the philosophy of non-violence and self-reliance. He was born in October 2, 1869 in Porbundar to Karamchand Gandhi and Putalibai. Although he studied law he was not very happy with his profession as a barrister because he wanted to contribute to the Indian freedom movement. He revolted against the British legislation in India on behalf of the poor peasants of indigo plantations of the textile mills who complained that they worked in very painful conditions. This movement was known as the Rowlatt Act. He started the non-cooperative movement to curb the economic and political policies implemented by the Britishers in 1922 and was taken for imprisonment for six years. After he was released from the prison he first brought unity among the Indians and inculcated a spirit of patriotism who was blindly following the practices of untouchablity. He said this factor mainly brought barrier to the Indian national movement. He then sent a letter to Lord Irwin that the laws imposed on salt was unfair and they would not obey to such brutal rules. The movement which this great leader practiced to curb the tax on salt was know as the movement of civil disobedience. He actively participated in the freedom movement of 1942 giving a mantra to the Britishers to 'Quit India". He was the leader who shed his energy, efforts and his spirit towards the attainment of freedom but did not expect anything for his contribution.
