to be the first

photo taken of

Gandhi

when Gandhi was alive and still today India

was split into two main kinds of realign, The Muslims and the Hindus. these people have been fighting over land and religion for a long time with countless attacks and protests. Gandhi's dream was for these two people to live in harmony. Unfortunately there was to much tension for them to see this and after his death this only seemed to get worse.

Two sides

Conflict still occurs in India today between the Muslims and Hindus.

“A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he

thinks, he be comes.“ What Gandhi was trying to say when he said this is that if you think and believe that you can do something then that makes you more capable to doing it even though you might not have had the ability before. “An eye for a eye makes the whole world blind” What Gandhi means by saying this is if with try to get revenge then we are taking are eyes off the problem instead of being the stronger person and doing the right thing; forgiving.

Famous quotes

At 5:17 PM on 30 January 1948 Mahatma

Gandhi was shot dead by Nathuram Godse. Gandhi was on his way to address a prayer meeting when he was shot three times. The reason that Godse shot Gandhi was because he had been kind and gentle to Pakistan government and people. So a extremist Hindu group that Godse had contacts with hired him and his co-conspirator Narayan Apte to silence Gandhi. Nathuram Godse and Narayan Apte where executed on November 15, 1949.

Assassination

This is the gun that Gandhi was shot with. It is a M9 9 mm Beretta Pistol

Gandhi was cremated by Hindu tradition.

His ashes were poured into urns that were then sent across India for various different ceremony's. the urns were mostly opened on the Sangam at Allahabad on February 12, 1948. Although some where secretly taken away and spread out across the countries and even the world.

Funeral

This is a Memorial where Gandhi was assassinated

Today despite Gandhi’s lessens India is still

torn in brutal conflict between the Hindis and the Muslims. Also in the neighboring countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh tension builds over the religion beliefs. If you did not know that Pakistan was once part of India but separated due the religion problem.

Modern India

India’s flag Pakistan flag

The country of India is run

by Manmohan Singh and in the ways of a Federal government. This means that it is a government with strong central powers such as Canada. Although efforts had been made by the Country to stop the violence there are still several extremist That believe strongly in the separation and existence of certain religions and groups.

India's government

Manmohan Singh making a speech

Over all Gandhi did not just change his

home country of India. He also changed the worlds perspective on war and peace by making a difference without violence. Next Gandhi gave some of India's people a new look on religion. Although Gandhi’s best efforts to stop violence failed I sometimes wonder what would have happened if he had stayed alive for another 5 or 10 years.

Conclusion

I think that I could defiantly improve on my

time management. When we were first introduced to the project I hardly did a thing so as a consequence I had to work a lot during the winter break. Also I think that I should have done a better job with keeping track of my noodle tools or Bibliography. Although I could have improved in a lot of things I think that I did a good job getting done on time.
