New Delhi. 30 January 1948. During the morning prayer three gunshots fired by Nathuram Godse killed Mahatma Gandhi. Godse was configured as a Hindu extremist who don't fine l’ opening dialectic of Gandhi to the Muslim world. Today the Mahatma Gandhi we find in icons that represented the greats of the past, occasionally appears on his face with one of his phrases real or fake on social networks. But who was Gandhi? Born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar, graduated in law in London, Gandhi was a convinced vegetarian diet and experienced to minimize his power. He had a great respect for animals that he felt like the man as God's creatures. Although he practiced as a lawyer and then had a chance to enjoy some ease I try to live in simplicity from the point of view of clothing. This decision was taken even in respect of the poorest. His purity of mind was also the guiding spirit with which he led his life, feeling his soul more important than its body. He defended the Indian immigrants in South Africa for twenty years, in which fought against apartheid. His political action was unexpected and promoted a new form of protest. The basic idea of his attitude was the Satyagraha. That is the power of truth. It manifested itself through the disobedience of laws deemed unfair, Nonviolent boycott, the non-violent picketing, non-violent strike, the marches and hunger strikes. Disobedience of the law of which he accepted administrative consequences, sometimes manifested through physical violence. This peaceful protest but clear and solemn fascinated people like Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi. Was repeating that conflicts are resolved by relying on the things that unite us with opponents. In 1930 He promoted the salt protest, a March of more than 350 km estrazone salt in violation that led to the actual directives. The dissidents met at a violent crackdown on English. Were arrested 60.000 people and many were even beaten. A year later the viceroy and Gandhi signed an agreement that allowed the Indians collecting salt for domestic use and the release of dissidents of the salt protest. A year before his death the work of Gandhi saw the light of his political objective: the independence of’ India, was the 15 August 1947. All that remains is to affirm its greatness by recalling that it was one of the very few politicians determined and living according to their own values. His biography exudes an unmatched consistency, his public figure adhered perfectly with her private life. Wasn't big on public speaking, Although his phrases remain engraved in history his best weapon was his example.
