In modern society is a necessity for us to follow those in charge; it allows society to operate smoothly. There are notable leaders and forgettable ones. The differences between the notable ones and forgettable ones are how they rise to power and what they do with it. Some do great things and are revered even after they pass on, other are examples of what terrible power a leader can have. Throughout history there has been both types of leaders, ones who help people, and one who hurt people. There power over their followers are the same, both good and bad leaders are able to convince their followers to do as they say. They are able to persuade their followers to fight, take beatings, go to jail, kill other, and even kill themselves for them. This is the power a leader can hold over their followers. This paper will explore the history of four prominent leaders, their leadership styles, analysis of their followers and the impact of these leaders on their followers and society in general.

...ld note that all three religions, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, have been the dominant, prevailing religious trends in India for many centuries, and they clearly reflect the culture, history, and spirituality of the country.
