book review 7


Today's book is "GANDHI".
Mohandes Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar, in the west of India. He is Hindus.
His first job took him to South Africa, but it is difficult for Indians to live there because they are not white and Christian. One day, a police man threw Gandhi off a train because of his color. This changed him. He started to fight for the rights of Indians.
And then, he went back to India. He started to fight for independence from Britain. He wanted to change India's rulers but he also wanted to change Indians. He showed them a simple, holy way of life.
He died in 1948 but everyone know his name. People in many countries follow his idea today.
