Mahatma Gandhi


Mahatma Gandhi

India1869- 1948 India.

--



Trained in law at Londons inner temple

character controversial but gentle.

Pre-eminent leader of Indian nationalism

South Africa his civil rights babtism.



Employing non violent disobedience

avoiding a capital offence.

Eventually back to Indian shores

disembling British tax laws.



Most Muslims support British rule

favoring the parochial school.

Gandhi's religious pluralism

not enjoying favouritism.



Self rule, independence achieved.

In forty seven the British relieved.

The Raj and its demise

enjoyed by most British eyes.



Dont bite off more than you can chew

though religious pluralism is my view.

I think Gandhi was just great

He's my particular au fait.
