The Journey of Mahatma Gandhi

            The name Mahatma is seen throughout the modern days for the remembrance of former leader, Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi's call for world peace has caused him to be forever thought of as Mahatma; the 'great soul.' Gandhi recognized imperialism as a method to destroy one's peace of mind and their society because of the avarice ways of the human species. Gandhi assumed that a society based on civilization is but a goal for profit ignoring all possible factors of what might result in the country being stolen from. His writings and work ethics were influenced by the years taken from the imperialist era of the British over India. The process of India turning into a westernized civilization in Gandhi's opinion does not fit the definition of a civilization in which is a criteria based on positive acts. As reality opens his eyes, Gandhi's opinion of political overtaking by the British changes throughout his journey which is shown throughout the text of his book the Hind Swaraj.
             Gandhi's education sprawled in London as he strived to become a lawyer to grasp a better understanding of political standards. The irony is looked at as Gandhi receiving educational assistance from the society in which he later feels aversion towards. While Gandhi was in London, he began to perfect his understanding of the ideal western civilization that was common throughout the world. There, he was also introduced to the sacred song God composed and incorporated into the Mahabharata called Bhagavad-Gita. .
             After accomplishing his goal of finishing the degree from the Inner Temple, Gandhi was called to the bar in the year of 1891, and enrolled in the High Court of London. Later that year, he decided to return to India to discover more information on Bhagavad-Gita.
             Gandhi's experience in South Africa led him to create the Indian National Congress in 1894, and his ideological concept of passive resistance evolved and later helped him to establish nonviolence into strength.
