Gandhi's arrival in India in 1914 led to observations which would further plant his views on the bitter taste of Imperialism and motivate him to change the harsh conditions for Indians. There was considerable opposition to the increasing colonial rule and widespread demand for representative institutions. Methods of the Indian National Congress— which was dominated by the middle class and thus failed to acknowledge those stricken by poverty— proved ineffective, which urged him to take action. Furthermore, he took over families and used their members to reinforce each other’s commitment to is cause and even became their honorary senior member. In order to require funds, he cultivated and managed India’s half a dozen richest industrialists. Notably, Gandhi was convinced that human actions were derived their energy from emotions. As a result, he picked culturally evocative symbols to win over the masses: the spinning wheel, the khadi, the cow and the ‘Gandhi cap’. The spinning wheel, for example, which Gandhi asked everyone to use, served as
“ A table, two chairs, a Lambretta scooter and Rs. 2000 in pocket”. Many entrepreneurs may have similar beginnings, but none of them would match the person about whom we are going to discuss. The man, who formed India’s biggest family namely “Sahara Parivar”. A man, who did not care about the road blocks, who always had faith in himself and moved forward to show that roadblocks are nothing before determination and even demonstrated how they help in success. We are talking about Subrata Roy “Saharasree”. A smiley face and traditional moustache are the most common look of Saharesree. A man born in Bihar, where rarely any businessmen have been born, did the traditional “Lala-business” money-interest calculation, done by almost all the wealthy people in Indian villages and small town. Despite all odds against him, he still got success.

During the 16th and 17th centuries,it was a bad time. During the sixteenth century England was being called a backward country. But on the other hand, India was the richest countries on earth. They had a estimated $33,750 million. Later, in 1500 CE, it was $60,500 million. During 1700 CE, it grew even higher to $90,750 million. They we very high wealth because India was one of the major trading nations. To show how big it was it also has a monopoly on textiles and spices. Because the growth rates of both the countries show the vast gap between their economic growths. The hostile financial policies of the British like ruthless taxation, discouraging Indian industries like textile and ship building, trade restrictions, etc. significantly contributed to the downfall of the Indian economy. Such was the loot conducted by the British for most of their period in India. This, however, does not capture the exact picture of the sufferings of the then people. We can only imagine the poor conditions of the people for generations after

Truthfully, one becomes speechless and unsure of where to begin when conversing about Bapu. What can be said for a mentor, leader, politician, and human being like Mahatma Gandhi? Words are vulnerable to describe such a god-like figure. His life is his message from which people around the world have inspired their own lives from. He was from a middle class family, an average student in school, shy, nervous, could not muster courage to speak in public, nor was a good writer. Despite these facts, Gandhi went on to become the “Father of the Nation”. When hearing such things, certain questions would cross the mind such as how did he do all of this? What made people follow him to such an extent that they would stake their own lives for him? Why did people follow him? Such questions intrigues and puts oneself in wonderment of how India’s independence and present-day India’s modern nationalism came to existence. Nevertheless, the dedication, non-violence, and the faith of Satyagra enforced by Gandhi led to the independence of India, hence creating a modern nationalism for present-day India. This outcome came due to two major reasons, patriotism and satyagra. Without the relevance and balance of both of these reasons, India would have never gained the freedom and nationalism it has today.

Mohandas Gandhi, also known as Mahatma “Great Soul” or Bapu “father”, was the leader of Indian nationalism in the early 20th century. Born October 2nd, 1869, Gandhi serves as a driving symbol of India’s independence from Britain as well the father of civil disobedience. Moreover, with his pious background, Gandhi advocated for religious tolerance and used religion as a guiding force in his principles. During the 20th century, Indians living in South Africa and India faced racial discrimination. With unlawful acts against Indians being passed by the British government, Gandhi had a political reawakening that changed his life to dedicate his life in reforming India. Gandhi pushed for Indian’s, as well as many who were oppressed, to question their deepest prejudices about caste, religion, and violence. This allowed people to stand by him and follow him through his acts of protest and civil disobedience. Gandhi demonstrated to officials, countries, and oppressors that he is a man that will not back down--even after times and times of jail. In addition to Gandhi championing discrimination in race and democracy, Gandhi fought for women's rights, education, and religion. Anybody who came in contact with him were deeply influenced by his personality and morals. Mahatma Gandhi continues to be a revered symbol in American culture with his adherence to high moral values, his promotion of nonviolent resistance, and equality for all races that inspires society to create change.
