When u ask mirror mirror, who is the greatest leader in the world? it will never give u a direct answer.

. It will give his leadership trait, so let find out who is this great leader. And we will call him the leader G.a hint is that he is a charismatic leader. During the dark night under the domination of British, he is the one who stood up and said enough and also the one who lead Indian to independent day.

That is because of his unique vision for the Indian. That man, At a time when almost the entire colonial peoples of the world were engaged in armed struggle, decided to implement his vision of non-violent, non cooperation struggle to end the war through peace and love. He had broke the tradition and proved that a true leader can fight with no weapons but with his thoughts and beliefs

If someones argument about Hitler is a great leader is based on he had tried to make the best thing for his for his people, his country, so I want to said that the leader G is a great leader because his vision is not only to free his people but also not to harm anybody else even his enemies. (The result was not only the liberation of the Indian people but an increase in the moral resources of mankind.) The leader G also can inspire and make influence on a whole India. Everyone decide to go after him because his love for the people of India was boundless, he wanted nothing more than to serve and help them. He went from village to village and visit more than 8000 farmers , concern for the education of each child, visit, shook hands once old men . His influence power also is came from he practiced what he said, he is the change he wanted to see in the world . For example he urged all Indians to wear khadi (cloth spun at home) as part of boycott of foreign-made products, so he spun his own clothes to wear.

He did not need to buy the affection of his countrymen. They gave it selflessly and without hesitation. In March, 1920, to fight against salt the British Salt Tax policy, he, followed by thousands of people finished the 200 miles journey looking for salt.

U also can see his great influence on Martin Luther King with I have a dream speech or on Nelson Mandela with struggle against antiapartheid oppression in South Africa.

Another great leadership trait is about ironic will and consistency. He was also very brave to fight for his country on his own without any army behind. He dared to sacrifice himself just to get to the final destination. And even though its very challenge, he always is consistent on his belief, his vision. If I beat u, can u just sit and smile to me? Impossible right? Many times he got beaten up by the British people, he had to go to jail , but he did not say one word. He did not execute any type of violent behavior towards them. He believed in his own principles for many years till he died,

Another thing is that when I said that :.. can u see the differences? He is different. He can engages in unconventional behavior to demonstrate courage and convictions about vision. He made the whole India cry when he said that: Dear Friend, I cannot intentionally hurt anything that lives, much less fellow human beings, even though they may do the greatest wrong to me and mine. Whilst, therefore, I hold the British rule to be a curse, I do not intend to harm to a single Englishman or to any legitimate interest he may have in India

Yes the great leader we want to talk about is Mahamat Gandhi - the great leader of the India and also the whole world.

He creatively applied many form of fighting such as the non-payment of taxes, peaceful marches to the sea, even if these actions were met with brutal force by British security forces, he himself several times had to go to jail by protecting his vision

The clearness of vision and objectives, and the creativity of his means of action of pursuit of these goals, were also indispensable factors of his success in leadership. More so, his propensity for personal sacrifice, at the cost of his life and liberty, in pursuit of his goals are very high on the list of his outstanding leadership qualities

He was an honest seeker of truth, a fearless defender of the weak and uncompromising practitioner of non-violence.

"It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us. I know how difficult it is to follow this grand law of love, but are not all great and good things difficult to do? Love of the hater is the most difficult of all. But by the grace of God even this most difficult thing becomes easy to accomplish if we want to."

If I do not obey the law and accept the penalty for its breach, I use soul-force. It involves sacrifice of self.sacrifice of self is infinitely superior to sacrifice of others. Moreover, if this kind of force is used in a cause that is unjust, only the person using it suffers. He does not make others suffer for his mistakes

However, such a type of struggle for Indian independence was essentially difficult in Indian society where a strict and clearly defined caste system was in place. The caste system hindered the creation of unity of Indians as a united people while transcending class divisions. More so, divisions between the ranks of the Indian people became more pronounced as fighting between rightist Hindu fundamentalists and left-wing communists never stopped, with both espousing violent means of securing Indian independence. All of these confused the majority of a people who continued to wallow in poverty and desolation. In all of these, Mahatma Gandhi emerged to present an alternative viewpoint, a seeming middle-ground between the pro-people radicalism of the left and the religious conservatism of the right. It was founded on the principle of non-violent struggle. It dismantled all previous ideas that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Gandhi turned the idea of revolution on its head and succeeded in doing so. While a major factor for their triumph was the waning power of the British empire after World War II, their struggle through non-violent means inspired other civil libertarians the world over to give peace and non-violent struggle a chance prior to the taking of arms. More so, he fully understood that Indian culture was still basically rooted in Hinduism. He believed that the application of foreign theories such as Marxism and nationalism might isolate the independence movement from the vast majority of the people
