 Where was Gandhi living when he first read the Vedas? |
- England. He had always been fascinated by religion, and actually learned the scriptures of the Christian religion before the Vedas (although he always considered himself {Hindu);} he was especially inspired by the 'Sermon on the Mount'.
| What does 'Mahatma' mean? |
- Great Soul. It was a title of high respect given to him by his countrymen.
| Which of the following was Gandhi's close friend and became the first Prime-minister of independent India in 1949? |
- Jawaharlal Nehru.
| What does Ahimsa mean? |
- non-violence and love.
| What was the name that Gandhi gave to his method of struggle? |
- Satyagraha. Satyagraha cannot be defined in a few words, but the closest translation I can give in a short definition is 'a forceful but nonviolent search for truth'.
| Where did Gandhi receive his Law Degree? |
- London.
| Which of the following was directly responsible for Gandhi's assassination? |
- A Radical Hindu. Upon gaining India's independence from Britain, Gandhi was struggling for unity between Indian Hindus and Muslims. He repeatedly discouraged any Hindu violence against Muslims. The country had such great respect for him that he held great sway over them, and anti-Muslim (or anti-Hindu) riots were usually short-lived. Unfortunately radicals did not want peace, and this ended Gandhi's life.
| What native 'cottage industry' did Gandhi spend a great deal of time trying to revive in India? |
- Clothing. He wanted to bring some economic independence to India, and the entire market for clothing was tied up by the import of British fabric.
| What was Gandhi's middle initial? |
- K.
| From within prison, Gandhi physically protested against political happenings in the Indian parliament. He used the same method of protest later over the question of Hindu-Muslim unity. What type of protest was it? |
- Fasting.
