I have always thought of Gandhi's story to be fascinating. Ever since the first time I ever heard about him or even learned. His story is so amazing and what he went through to help save his country was out of this world. The way he stuck up for non-violence was pretty heroic because now a days people would never think of doing the things Gandhi did. By him fasting and standing up for what he believed in, helped his country and his fellow followers to come to an agreement and get along unlike they were. It took a lot of courage to do what he did and even before he did the fasting, he was not very proud of his life and the way he was living it. He felt like a man who had a lust mindset and never knew how to get rid of it. When his father married him off to his future wife he didn't feel like it was the right thing to do because he was a young man and all he wanted was lust and he didn't like it.
To go through the things Gandhi had to go through would have been very challenging and no one in this day an age would even think about doing something like that. With the way our world and society is going Gandhi today would probably feel like his work meant nothing. Even though his story was famous and many believed to help out his nation, today many people don't even know who he is. I asked my cousin who is in high school if he knew who Gandhi was and what was his purpose and all my cousin told me was, "Was he that guy who was bald?" and I was dumbfounded by his answer because I learned about Gandhi in the fifth grade. I just find it hard to believe that a man with such impact has been forgotten.
