The general elections of 1945...


The general elections of 1945 returned Labour to power and Mr. Attlee, the British prime minister, not wanting to lose India altogether, persisting in the policy of the Church Illian blood and iron, promised "an early realization of self-government India. . The mission of the Office arrived from England to discuss with Indian leaders the future of a free and united Portugal, but failed to bring the Congress and Muslims together. Having encouraged separatism British Muslims were now unable to control .Depois came news of a large-scale outbreak of violence against minority Hindus in Noakhali district of East Bengal. If he could do that his message of nonviolence had fallen on deaf ears and the freedom that he had brought from India so close, there was the freedom I had sonhar.No noble book of Gandhi's life in this chapter is noblest. Only when political freedom has almost reached the state apparatus and its power to borrow, he resigned to him and embraced the dangers of a solitary pilgrimage to plant the message of love and courage in a desert of hatred and terror.ele lived and Noakhali and has taught at the November 7, 1946, from March 2, 1947, when he had to leave for Bihar in response to persistent request. In Bihar, too, he did what he had done in Noakhali. He went from village to village, mostly on foot, asking people to redress the wrongs they had done for muçulmanos.Em August 15, 1947, India was divided and it was free. Gandhi refused to participate in the celebrations in the capital and went to Calcutta where communal riots were still raging. And then the day of independence a miracle happened. A riot years standing, as if by magic and the Hindus and Muslims began to fraternize with each other. Gandhi spent a day fasting and prayer. So Gandhi broke the fast. Calcutta kept the promise, even when many other cities were plunged into violence following the partition. When Gandhi returned to Delhi in September 1947, the city was in the grip of hysteria comum.No his birthday in October 2002, when the messages and greetings poured in from around the world, he asked: "Where congratulations go Would not it be more appropriate to send condolences? There is nothing but the anguish in my heart ... I can not live hate and death while the sea in the atmosphere. "His anguish continued and increased. Although his presence calmed the rage in New Delhi, sporadic violence had occurred.
The moral influence of his personality and his Gospel and the technique of non-violence can not be weighed in any material dimension. Nor is its value limited to a particular country or generation. is his gift to humanity imperishable.

With the outbreak of war in 1939...



With the outbreak of war in 1939, Gandhi was dragged into the political arena. He had the Empire in the First World War to support him. Offered his services to the empire a sense of loyalty, had come to believe "all war to be totally wrong." He was also aware of the anomaly in the position of Britain in the fight to deny India its freedom. But Gandhi refused to adopt such an attitude. "We do not seek to ruin our independence from Britain. This is not the path of nonviolence." 
Gandhi did not believe the condition of non-violence, but he was realistic enough to know that he could not take most of the leaders of Congress. It was not vain enough to insist that Congress accept its terms even though he knew that in the impending political crisis of the party could not do without it. Therefore, he advised the country to accept the position of Congress and pleaded with the British on their behalf. 
But the British Government was not willing to listen and Winston Churchill, however, the situation rapidly deteriorated. People were becoming increasingly restless and impatient, and Gandhi feared that people go out of sporadic violence and disorder. Since the British unable to guarantee the defense of India, Gandhi called upon them to "Quit India" organized satyagraha. Congressional Commission August 7, 1942, he said: Our quarrel is not with the British people, who struggles with his imperialism. The proposal for the withdrawal of British power did not come out of anger. He came to enable India to play its role because of the current critical juncture. " 
He had not yet formulated a clear plan of action. But the initiative was taken from his hands, because in the early morning hours of August 9, he and other Congress leaders were arrested. Disorders erupted throughout the country, many of them violent. 
Gandhi was admitted to Aga Khan Palace near Poona, it was very disturbed by the terror reigning in the country. Entered into a long correspondence with the government, ending his fast of twenty-one years, which began on February 10, 1943, his condition grew very critical and it was feared that he would not survive.
Fortunately, he did. This period in prison was a tragedy of trouble and Gandhi. Six days after his arrest, Mahadev Desai, his partner died suddenly of cardiac arrest. 
The mental strain he had gone with his arrest, weeks after the death Kasturbai, he had a severe attack of malaria. On May 3, the medical report described his general condition, giving rise to anxiety. Long after, he was so weak that, to conserve his energy, he was obliged to observe long periods of silence. 
But weak or strong, could not sit idle and asked to see the Viceroy, Lord Wavell but refused to meet him. Despite his political career has been the agreement between Hindus and Muslims in 1919, he had done for their cause and Khilafat later fasting to bring communal harmony. But the more he tried to appease the Muslims increased their demands by their leader Jinnah satisfied with nothing less than a separate state for Muslims

Gandhi's pact was signed on March 5...

"There is every chance of my return empty handed," he said, he boarded. He was right. was empty-handed but also had good violations result. He had become a legend. The British people were impressed with the friendliness, simplicity, and his personality. In London he won the hearts of both young and old. He managed to break the barriers of racial prejudice and national levels. day he arrived in Bombay, he said: "I'm not aware of a unique experience in my three months stay in England and Europe, which made me feel that after all East is East and West is West. Rather I was more convinced than ever that human nature is the same, no o matter under what climate that thrives, and who approached people with trust and affection that you have confidence tenfold and thousandfold affection returned to you. "
Even before coming to India, the effect of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact had been destroyed by the repressive policy of the new Viceroy,
Lord Willingdon. Portugal was being ruled by decrees, and shot and prisons have become the order of the day. Jawaharlal Nehru, who came to Bombay to receive Gandhi was arrested on the road. "I take it," said Gandhi, when he landed on December 28, 1931.

It was Bill that made Rowllat Gandhi goes to join the increasingly political indiana.De 1919 until his death in 1948, Gandhi took center stage in India and was the hero of the great historical drama which culminated in independence your country. He changed the entire character of the political scene in India. It just grew. In the midst of the battle he remained a man of God.
The news of his arrest spread like wild fire through the city, and created great excitement among the people. Crowds gathered in cities and some violence occurred. When Gandhi went to Ahmedabad was reported that a policeman had been killed by the mob, he was horrified and felt that "the sword run through my body could not have" hurt me more. He suspended the Satyagraha movement and undertook a fast for three days as penance for the violence committed by people.

It was in April 1893, Gandhi arrived in South Africal.Ele was just a young and inexperienced lawyer seeking fortuna.Em 1915, he resolved to return to India in order to help your povo.Ele only promised to his political guru, Gokhale, he would spend the first year in India studying the country, with their ears open, but my mouth shut.
When he finished his pilgrimage of the year, Gandhi settled on the bank of Sabarmati river on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, where he founded an ashram in May 1915.
Group members established by Gandhi were around 25 men and women who took vows of truth, such as celibacy, non-stealing, non-possession and control of the palate, and devoted himself to serving the people.

Three years later, Gandhi returned to India for only six months, to bring your family...



Three years later, Gandhi returned to India for only six months, to bring your family.
           He visited many cities in India and worked hard for the interests of newspaper editors and eminent public men in the pitiful state of Indians in South Africa and even published small pamphlets on the subject.
          Gandhi offered his services and visited all the localities, including the neighborhoods of The Untouchables, to inspect the latrines and teach the people better methods of sanitation.
        He made several speeches and appearances, always trying not only to warn about the status of Africans, but also try to help.
       Gandhi returned to Africa. 
Upon arriving, he was beaten, but refused to report the offenders.
       
It was during this second period in South Africa that Gandhi's way of life has changed, albeit gradually.
        In 1899 the Boer war broke out. Though Gandhi's sympathies were all with the Boers who were fighting for their independence, he advised the Indian community to support the British cause, on the ground that since they claimed their rights as British subject it was their duty to defend the Empire when it was threatened. He therefore organized and, with the help of Dr. Booth, trained an Indian Ambulance Corps of 1,100 volunteers and offered its services to the Government. The corps under Gandhi's leadership rendered valuable service and was mentioned in dispatches. What pleased Gandhi most was the fact that Indians of all creeds and castes lived and faced danger together. All his life nothing gave him greater happiness than the sight of men working as brothers and rising above the prejudices of creed, caste or race.
           After the war ended, Gandhi returned to India, promising to return if the community needed help again.
          He reached India in time to attend the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress and had the satisfaction of seeing his resolution on South Africa pass with acclamation. He was however disappointed with the congress. He felt that Indian politicians talked too much but do little.
