was a major political and spiritual leader of India, and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer[1] and perfector of Satyagraha — the resistance of tyranny through mass civil disobedience strongly founded upon ahimsa (total non-violence), which led India to independence, and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known and addressed in India and across the world as Mahatma Gandhi (from Sanskrit, Mahatma: Great Soul) and as Bapu (in many Indian languages, Father).\n\nAn English-educated lawyer, Gandhi first employed his ideas of peaceful civil disobedience in the Indian community's struggle for civil rights in South Africa. Upon his return to India, Gandhi organized poor farmers and labourers in India to protest oppressive taxation and extensive discrimination, and carried it forward on the national stage to protest oppressive laws made by the British Raj. Becoming the leader of the Indian National Congress, Gandhi led a nationwide campaign for the alleviation of the poor, for the liberation of Indian women, for brotherhood amongst communities of differing religions and ethnicity, for an end to untouchability and caste discrimination, and for the economic self-sufficiency of the nation, but above all for Swaraj — the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led Indians in the disobedience of the salt tax through the 400 kilometer (248 miles) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and in an open call for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years on numerous occasions in South Africa and India.\n\nThroughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in the most extreme situations. Gandhi was a student of Hindu philosophy and lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs. He made his own clothes — the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with a charkha — and lived on a simple vegetarian diet. He used rigorous fasts — abstaining from food and water for long periods — for self-purification as well as a means of protest.\n\nGandhi was recognized as the Father of the Nation by Subhas Bose and later by the whole nation (India). October 2, his birthday, is each year commemorated as Gandhi Jayanti, and is a national holiday. Gandhi's life and teachings inspired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Biko and Aung San Suu Kyi and respectively the American civil rights movement and the freedom struggles in South Africa and Myanmar.

sonia gandhi actually caught herself in her own net. she is holding too msny posts of proffit so have her many of her party members. despite that a congress member reported Jaya. opposition gave similar complaint to president. if she would not have resigned she would have been dissmissedes.\n\n whatever is she saying or those fake resignation her party members are submitting to her is a DRAMA.\n\ni wonder if there are still some mentally challanged people who can not see through it. for it has been repeated by her and her supporters too many times. i am bored with it. \n\nanswer to bungiebabe:\n\nno she is no relative of the Gandhi. though Firoz Gandhi her father-in-law called himself gandhi after the Gandhi. his real name was firoz ferdun. so actually indira gandhi should have been called indira ferdun and sonia is really sonia ferdun.\n\nfiraz ferdun said he is taking the name gandhi as he considered gandhi as bapu(father). i sometime think he was looking for quick recognition in politics. gandhi even made a comment that he thought only 'father's adopt son. now a son is adopting him as a father'. so gandhi and sonia gandhi are not real relatives but there is a connection.\n\nit helped adopted gandhis much in politics. for indira was daughter of nehru who was gandhi's favourite. so it was always a reminder to countrymen of connection between gandhi and nehru. people call it a nehru gandhi dynasty!

Well it would be nice for us to join this century and finally vote in someone who is not male (someone non-white and non-Christian someday would be nice too).\nI am torn about supporting her though, she has moved so far to the right to try to have more appeal that she is losing her support on the left.  I will not vote for someone just because of her gender, I have to believe in her too.\n\nShe does have a good stance on women's issues and education (she's pro-choice, safe access to unbiased counseling and she is working on reducing abortions by making Emergency Contraception more available).\nHowever, she's conservative on Immigration\n\nI've linked to her issues (see below).

Woman's participation in India's freedom struggle began as early as 1817 when Bhima Bai Holkar fought bravely against the British colonel Malcolm and defeated him in guerilla warfare. In 1824 Rani Channama of Kittur resisted ate armed might of the East Indian Company. \n\n1 Rani of Jhansi \nRani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi whose heroism and superb leadership laid an outstanding example for all future generations of women freedom fighters. Married to Gangadhar Rao head of the state of Jhansi. She was not allowed to adopt a successor after his death by the British, and Jhansi was annexed. \nWith the outbreak of the Revolt she became determined to fight back. She used to go into the battlefield dressed as a man. Holding the reins of there horse in her mouth she used the sword with both hands. Under her leadership the Rani's troops showed undaunted courage and returned shot for shot. Considered by the British as the best and bravest military leader of rebels this sparkling epitome of courage died a hero's death in the battlefield. \nThe first name that comes to mind is that of the famous Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi. Dressed in men’s clothes, she led her soldiers to war against the British. Even her enemies admired her courage and daring. She fought valiantly and although beaten she refused to surrender and fell as a warrior should, fighting the enemy to the last. Her remarkable courage inspired many men and women in India to rise against the alien rule. \n\n2.  SAROJINI NAIDU \nThe other remarkable woman elected to the presidentship Indian National Congress was Sarojini Naidu. She became its president.dramatic meeting with another respected leader of time, Gokhle, in 1906 was to change her life forever. His response to her fiery speech brought into her life the impact of a visionary who saw in her oratory and brilliance a leader of the future. \n\nThe period from 1917 to 1919 was the most dynamic phase of Sarojini's career. During this time, she campaigned for the Montagu Chelmsford Reforms, the Khilafat issue, the draconian Rowlett Act and the Satyagraha. When Gandhi launched the Civil Disobedience Movement ,she proved a faithful lieutenant. With great courage she quelled the rioters, sold proscribed literature, addressed frenzied meetings on the carnage at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar.In 1930 when Mahatma Gandhi chose her to lead the Salt Satyagraha the stories of her courage became legion. After Gandhi's arrest she had prepared 2,000 volunteers under the scorching sun to raid the Dahrsana Salt Works, while the police faced them half a mile up the road with rifle, lathis (canes) are steel tipped clubs. The volunteers wildly cheered when she shook off the arm of the British police officer who came to arrest her and marched proudly to the barbed wire stockade where she was interned before being imprisoned. Freedom struggle was in full force and she came under the influence of Gopalakrishna Gokhale  and Gandhi. Gokhale advised her to spare all her energy and talents for nation's cause. She gave up writing poetry and fully devoted herself to emancipation of women, education, Hindu-Muslim unity etc. She became a follower of Gandhiji and accompanied him to England. Whenever in England, she openly criticized British rule in India which caught the attention of scholars and intellectuals. \n  \n3.KASTURBA GANDHI \nKasturba Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's wife joined her husband while he was in South Africa and worked with him for many years there. She was a leader of Women's Satyagraha for which she was imprisoned. She helped her husband in the cause of Indigo workers in Champaran, Bihar and the No Tax Campaign in Kaira, Gujarat. She was arrested twice for picketing liquor and foreign cloth shops, and in 1939 for participating in the Rajkot Satyagraha. \n  \n4.ARUN ASAF ALI \nArun Asaf Ali, a radical nationalist played an outstanding role in the historic Quit India Movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi on August 9, 194

Like America once, India was part of the British Empire.  Gandhi was instrumental in helping India achieve independence in 1945, nonviolently.  Shortly thereafter, he was assassinated.

Well Buddy, a very nice and serious question. I really don't think Dr. Manmohan Singh has got that guts. If you want a PM to deal with Kashmir issue and Agni 3 missiles POK giving to Pakistan then it is only ATAL BIHARI VAJPAYEE OR A REBEL MAN LIKE BALASAHEB THAKARE can do these jobs. We require totally daring and versatile men like LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI, BHAGAT SINGH. When it comes to dealing with sacking ministers like Chidambaram etc. Sonia Gandhi can handle it well as PM while maintaining peace in nation.\n\n\nI think A. B. VAJPAYEE should be made the next PM. He is extremely intelligent, is innovative despite being old and has got guts to teach Pakistan a tough lesson and tame the whole world that India has got its unique identity. He is man extremely respected in US.
