MOHANDAS GANDHi Satyagraha. Meaning force or

Victoria, Mohandas Gandhi was born to Kaba Gandhi

humanity. Justice had been his last attempt-to do
nothing which was not just. But it had ended in
failure (White, OAFK 634). The he in this passage

King Louis Third Estate

Initially, when it is thought that a change is
needed within a system, an attempt is made for
peaceful reform; this ultimately fails as a result
of people s greed outlasting their patience to
settle things equitably. When both parties are
motivated by self gain, it is the basest of human
nature to fight to the bitter, bloody end for what
they believe in and see as just. During the French
Revolution for example, King Louis XlV brought the
