Gandhi

People in India are marking the 150th birthday of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. According to the newspaper article, however, he had different aspects in his character unlike the images that people have for him such as an advocator of equality. For example, when he was in South Africa, he said that the blacks are inferior to Indians. Also, he believed in having a “harmonious social order” that can be treated as an idea of protecting the caste system. Otherwise, people still think of Gandhi as the father of India. I learned that one’s history can be glorified to maintain a good image.
