Chapter 23

Chapter 23 talks all about the Global South and seeking independence and seeking freedom and all of the sort. But what I read that caught my attention the most was that of Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi is like the Martin Luther King, Jr. of the other side of the world. He practiced civil protests in order to fight for injustice. The actions he took were inspiring because I know a lot of people would never have the guts to do everything he did. People know protests as a lot of people being beaten or hurt or killed in the process, but Gandhi did the opposite. Gandhi did everything in his power to make sure that no one had to die to stand up for what they believed him and by following his leadership. He hated violence and everything to do with it. He dedicated the rest of his life to showing people that yes, they can stand up for what they believe in and fight for what they know is right without actually fighting. Civil disobedience. I've learned about Gandhi in a lot of my history classes and his story is definitely one of those that I will never forget. He just made such a difference in the world and he never gave less than 100% and didn't stop until he knew he could do no more. What he did was very admirable and his story should definitely stay as one of the most well known in the world and in history.
