    Gandhi Jayanti Story PowerPoint

    1869-1948
    Family Life
    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was
    born on 2nd October 1869. He was born
    in Porbander in Gujarat.

    Gandhi’s family were wealthy, and he


    received a good education.

    His father was the chief minister of


    Porbander. His mother was highly
    religious. She was Hindu, but believed
    in Jain teachings of mutual respect and
    not causing injury to living things.

    Studying

    Gandhi was not very happy at


    college, so when he was offered
    the chance to study law in
    London, he took it.

    He worked hard and began to


    study all religions. Until this
    time, he had never really been
    interested in religion.

    When he returned to India, he


    found it hard to find work, so
    eventually took a job in South
    Africa for a year.

    South Africa

    Racism was a big problem in South


    Africa. Black and Asian people were
    not given the same rights as White
    people. During his time in South
    Africa, Gandhi experienced racism.

    On one occasion, Gandhi was removed


    from a train purely because he was not
    a White person.

    Another time, he was asked to remove


    his turban. He refused and left the
    courtroom.

    Gandhi and Politics

    Gandhi returned to India in 1915 and


    saw how oppressed India was.

    He began to encourage people to stand


    up for themselves and their rights in
    peaceful protests and strikes.

    The people were grateful that


    somebody was interested in their
    situation, and he became known as
    Mahatma, meaning ‘Great Soul’.

    A Famous Leader

    Gandhi’s fame began to spread. Indian people


    saw him as their voice for freedom and
    fairness. He started a boycott of buying
    British goods.

    This meant that he encouraged people not


    to buy things made in Britain.

    Eventually, Gandhi was sent to prison for


    two years, in 1922. He went on many
    hunger strikes to bring attention to the
    unfair treatment of Indian people at the
    hands of the British.

    The Salt March

    When Gandhi was released, he


    began a campaign to end the
    British rule over the Indian
    people.

    In protest against a British tax


    on salt, Gandhi and thousands
    of his followers marched to the
    sea to get their own.

    Thousands of people joined


    him on his march and 60,000
    people were arrested, including
    Gandhi.

    Civil Unrest

    When the Second World War broke out,


    Indian people fought for the British.
    Gandhi did not see why they should when
    they were being treated so unfairly at
    home.

    He was arrested for encouraging


    people to rise up against Indian men
    fighting for the British and spent two
    years in prison.

    Not everyone agreed with his beliefs


    and, because he was so well known,
    there were six attempts to kill him.

    India is Split
    After the war, the British began to realise
    that Gandhi had many followers and a lot
    of influence on those people. As a result,
    they had to allow India to become
    independent.

    Indian Flag
    The Congress Party decided that it would
    be better if they split India into two halves:
    one being Hindu India and the other,
    Muslim Pakistan.

    Gandhi was unhappy about this and was


    worried that the two sides could end up at
    war with each other. Not everyone shared
    Gandhi’s view. Pakistan Flag

    Death

    On 30th January 1948, Gandhi was


    assassinated while on his way to a prayer
    meeting in Delhi.

    Gandhi’s body was cremated. His ashes


    are kept in the Aga Khan’s Palace in Pune,
    where he was once a prisoner.

    His birthday is now a national holiday in


    India.
