Indira Priyadarshini was born on November 19, 1917, she was the only child of Jawaharal Nehru and his wife Kamala in the city of Allahabad in Northern India. The second part of her name Priyadarshini, means"dear to behold." In the Indian tradition, theirs was a joint family, headed by Indira’s grandfather, Motilal Nehru, a man with a powerful personality and an enormous passion for life. Allahabad was an upper class town, and Motilal, a self-made man, was one of the most successful barristers in his time. With success came wealth, and the Nehru family lived in a sprawling whitewashed villa, surrounded by lawns, tennis courts, and a swimming pool, and attended by numerous servants. Being the only child in this huge household, Indira was pampered and was the center of her grandfather’s attention. Then, when Indira was barely three, the Indian freedom movement entered the Nehru house, changing Indira’s life and the course of Indian history (Currimbhoy 25-26).
	Jawaharal Nehru had come into contact with Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who became the leader of India’s freedom struggle. Both Jawaharal and Motilal were drawn to Gandhi. They believed in Gandhi’s nonviolent noncooperation. The family also supported Gandhi’s policy of promoting domestic cottage industries by boycotting all foreign goods(Jayakar 67-68).
	Motilal’s involvement with the Congress made his home the hub of the freedom movement. It became the place where earnest, khadi-clad men came and went at all hours of the day and night; it became a place that rang with drafts, declarations, and debates. Indira absorbed the tension and excitement of those days and became a quiet, serious child, fired by a sense of mission she did not quite understand(Currimbhoy 31).
	Even the games Indira played had to do with politics. Her dolls were divided into freedom fighters. who formed picket lines, and British soldiers, who clubbed them on the head and ragged them to off to jail. Her aunt remembers her out on the porch, eyes burning, arms dramatically outstretched, playing Joan Of Arc leading her people to freedom. By the time she was twelve, Indira was making a strong and real effort to be involved in the struggle. She formed the Monkey Brigade, this was a group of children who acted as messengers for the elders(Sahgal 94).

...ierced her chest and stomach. Although she was rushed immediately to the hospital by shaken aides and relatives, she was dead when she arrived(Currimbhoy 5-6).
	On the day of her death, Indira Gandhi’s dearest wish was fufilled-her son, Rajiv Gandhi, succeeded as her prime minister of India, continuing for the third generation of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty(Currimbhoy 6).
	I thought that Indira Gandhi had many well earned accomplishments in her lifetime. I personally think her greatest accomplishment was becoming the first female prime minister of India. As of today, the United Sates has still not yet to have a female president. I admire how she clung tightly to her power and would even go to jail for a cause that she believed in. She held her country together during very chaotic times. But there were certain circumstances where I felt Indira used poor judgment in her leadership. For example, when her political party was not ready for the scheduled upcoming election, she postponed it until they were organized. In conclusion, she was a strong willed leader devoted to her nation, a warm mother and grandmother, but a calculating politician.
	
	 	
A well-nourished, well-developed Hispanic female named Anna Garcia standing at 65 inches, 165 pounds and in her late thirties was found dead in her house after her concerned neighbor Doug Greene was suspicions as to why she didn't take her dog out like she did normally, and why the dog was barking constantly for two hours. The police received a call from Greene on August 31st at 9:45 am and arrived at the crime scene at 9:56am.The police found Anna lying face down in the hallway. Authorities observed a pool of blood around her head and some vomit beside her. It was 73 degrees inside Anna’s house, while it was 92 degrees outside. Anna was last seen alive by her former husband, Alex Garcia the night before her death. Investigators measured her rectal temperature, and came to a conclusion that she died at 7:00 am in that same morning. A medical examiner was also called to perform an autopsy to see what really caused Anna's death.
Her body had been bathed and thoroughly washed before being placed, it was also completely drained of blood [2]. Two detectives were assigned to the case: Harry Hanson and Finis Brown. When they and the police arrived at the crime scene, it was already swarming with people, gawkers and reporters. The entire situation was out of hand and crowded, everyone trampling all over in hopes of good evidence. One thing they did report finding was a nearby cement block with watery blood on it, tire tracks and a heel print on the ground.
The next victim that shows the same modus operandi is Annie Chapman. On September 8, 1888 Chapman’s body was found on a walkway leading to a stable yard. Chapman was between the ages of 45-47, was a widow, and a prostitute. She was found to have tuberculos...
King also followed in the footsteps of the great Indian leader, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
Gandhi was a well knowledgeable and unique person who found hope in struggles that he never thought would shape who he was. Gandhi was born in a Hindu family, and even though he was the youngest he made a huge impact on others (“Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi” pg 3). He had his older brother who helped him with his education when his father passed away (“Mohandas Gandhi”). Gandhi was very religious even when he was little his brothers tried to make him eat meat (it wasn’t bad to eat meat in Hinduism when you are little), but he refused (“Mohandas Gandhi”). Gandhi respected his religion and was a respectful towards others.

She is rebelling for the people, especially women, to be able to be educated and well learned to defeat the overruling government; not only advocating for peace and freedom, she is also yearning for educational equality.

Some of the major health risks of tobacco include lung cancer, high cholesterol and chronic bronchitis. Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer by the result of smoking. Cigarette smoke contains chemicals that interfere with the filtration and cleaning out of lungs. Not only does the smoke irritate lungs and lead to overproduction of mucus, it also paralyses the cilia, which is a tiny hair like structure that lines the airways and clean out dust and dirt. The result of paralyzed cilia causes mucus and toxic substances to build up thus resulting in congestion of the lungs. Extra mucus also means that smokers are more likely to suffer from
Lastly, Gandhi continued to struggle with the satyagraha belief and was willing to devote his time on demanding the British to “quit India.” However, despite being imprisoned for this campaign, Gandhi aroused upheaval from the Indians who insisted the British to remove Gandhi from captivity. After the execution of the Salt March, the events that followed supported Gandhi’s philosophy on the satyagraha movement and further brought India closer to its independence from the British colonization.

The atmosphere in Bombay during the time of the novel was a cauldron of emotions. Bombayites were cantankerous, impatient with the municipality’s decision to ignore their complaints. The mood was tense as Indians prepared for the Second Indo-Pakistani War. The atmosphere in the Parsi community was insecure and anxious as ever under the political turmoil. “Gustard identified Shiv Sena and Indira Gandhi's authoritarian politics and anti-minority policies as two major threats that his community had to deal with.” (Sadhath, 5). Shiv Sena is a federal political party, previously a supporter of fascism and anti-minority policies. In the novel, they were portrayed as an over-confident party ignoring the verbal onslaught directed at them by minorities. They were openly racist, bribing Tehmul to hand out pamphlet targeting minorities in Bombay. Meanwhile, Indira...
“The strongest physical force bends before moral force when used in the defense of truth.” - Mahatma Gandhi (Bondurant). Mahatma Gandhi was the main leader in helping India become independent through the principles of non violence, self-rule, and the unity of Hindus and Muslims. His full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, but he was given the name Mahatma later on in his life. He wanted to see an united India without the rule of the British Empire. He accomplished this with passive resistance or resistance by non violence because he wanted to show that violence is not always the best answer.
The teachers come, a large man begins CPR while the girl remains benevolent, in a matronly position, kneeling and cradling Al’s head in the cushion of her palms. Through it all she does not look up, even when spurts of blood from Al’s mouth reach her face and eyes, that blood built up within his orifice gurgling and geysering with each push of the teacher’s fists into his lungs. She does not turn from her grisly heroic task, though her arms shake from restraining and then supporting Al’s head, as she calmly reassures others that it will be all right. After seeing Al safely away with the EMTs, she takes only a few moments to collect herself, then, claiming no credit...

Mahatma Gandhi's Influence and Ideas Mahatma Gandhi was a man of faith and great conviction. He was born into an average Hindu family in India. Like most teenagers he had a rebellious stage when he smoked, spent time with girls and ate meat (forbidden to strict Hindus). The young Gandhi changed as a person while earning a living as a lawyer in South Africa. He came in contact with the apartheid and the future Mahatma began to emerge, one who championed the truth through non-violent resistance.
