Questions to consider for a follow up Round Table Discussion on the Leaders of the 20th^ Century. We have already looked at the evil of Hitler & Stalin, we now compare the ability to change using non- violence.
Gandhi was born in India during the reign of Queen Victoria when Great Britain was the strongest power in the world, and it controlled a vast overseas empire that included India, South Africa, Australia, Canada and other countries. Overcoming his painful shyness as a young man, Gandhi grew to become an inspiring leader and one of the most respected men in world history. After many years of struggle, he led India to independence from Great Britain in 1947. Gandhi never resorted to violence in his quest for India’s freedom; throughout his life he taught peace and the ideals of Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.
