QUOTES

“An eye for an eye only ends upmakin the whole world Blind”.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgivness is the attribute of the Strong”.

I have chosen him as my role model because I feel that he was an extremely ambitious man who had
decided to help many people to escape the clutches of the British, at his own free will. He had a great
personality as he was a friendly person and was easy to converse with. Instead of relying on violence to
support his country, he developed a means of non-violence which had increased his support by his
countrymen. He inspired me by using non-violence to resolve conflicts and his longing to free his
country.
