Leaders

Animal Farm, a popular book that is known to many people, has leaders leading the animals. Like the animals, there are many great and good leaders in the world who have changed the fate of their countries and one of them is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi, the great soul who led India to independence and aspired movement for civils rights and freedom around the world.
A great leader is one who is intellectual, has foresight, able to make quick decisions or decisions that have a great impact on the country. He should also think of the people welfare and selfless, and charisma all of which Mahatma Gandhi possess. When India was ruled by the British, they were left in extreme poverty as the British kept on leving a tax on them. This great leader spent time, suffering and money to to help his fellow villages in many ways, for eample, building facilities for them. He managed to gain independence for India without the use of violence but through non-cooperation, non-violence and peaceful resistance as his "weapons" in the struggle against British. Imagine how hard it is to struggle for independence but without the use of war and violnce, I find it an impossible act to carry out.
In conclusion, I feel that Gandhi is a very aspiring person that can commit to what he do. His selflessness, charisma and peacefulness gained independence for India and has inspired many to fight for their own rights without the use of violence.
