    Mahatma Gandhi

    Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was an Indian lawyer, nationalist, and civil rights activist. Born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, he was first given the honorary title of Mahatma—Sanskrit for “great-souled”—in 1914 while living in South Africa. Raised in Gujarat in a prominent Hindu family, he travelled to London and studied law at the Inner Temple. Called to the Bar in 1891, Gandhi returned to India for a brief time before settling in South Africa. There, he started a family while perfecting his style of nonviolent resistance grounded in civil disobedience. In 1915, he returned to his native country to join the fight against British rule, organizing peasants across India to take a stand against taxation, racism, and other forms of colonial oppression. He became the leader of the Indian National Congress in 1921 and increased his involvement with the movements for women’s rights, religious and ethnic equality, and the elimination of India’s caste system, which unjustly effected Dalits deemed untouchable from birth. His central cause, however, was Swaraj, which can be translated as self-governance or democracy. As his popularity increased, he simplified his lifestyle in solidarity with the Indian poor, wearing traditional clothing, eating vegetarian food, and fasting as a matter of personal hygiene and protest. In 1930, he led the twenty-five day Dandi Salt March or Salt Satyagraha, in response to a British salt tax, inspiring millions of Indians to take direct action against British rule. A proponent of religious pluralism, he lamented the interfaith violence between Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims that broke out following independence and the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. At 78 years old, he was assassinated by a Hindu nationalist for his outreach to the Muslim community.

      An amazing insight... we are blessed to have this man on this earth in this century...

      I've just read this on the back of reading another book on American history, 'Savage Kingdom' by Benjamin Woolley. In contrast to that book, Big Chief Elizabeth is more of a popular history. It's ultimately a true story, told as a story. It mentions historical sources and has a fairly comprehensive bibliography at the back but doesn't have the many pages of accompanying notes that some other history books I've read do. It was less concerned with the politics and detail than the general overview of what went on, and the characters that were a part of it. The part on the Jamestown colony was quite rushed, the main part of the book being about Walter Raleigh's attempts at founding an English colony in Virgina, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It was also in part a biography of Sir Walter Raleigh, at least so far as his involvement with America went (which was his major life's work).Overall a great history book, entertaining, easy to read and I learned a lot from it. Leaves me wanting more.

      A highly readable account of the early attempts by Englishmen to colonise the North Eastern part of what is now the United States in the 16th and early 17th centuries. It starts from unfamiliar ground - an attempt by one Richard Hore as early as 1536 to capture a native American and bring him back to England. The attempt at capture failed but Hore did get there, so the first Englishman achieved that distinction a few decades earlier than is perhaps generally realised. The book retraces the landings of the various groups of adventurers and colonists in the Roanoke and Chesapeake Bay areas in the 1570s and 80s, and their often (but not always) bloody history of conflict with the native Americans. The fortunes and fate of the lost colony of 1587 are well covered and the epilogue arrives at a plausible conclusion as to their fate. The instrumental role of Pocahontas in finally achieving peace between the main tribes and the settlers is well covered. A great read, marred only slightly by a lack of reference notes (though the bibliography is fine) and the fact that the provenance of some of the illustrations is not clear and/or they are not positioned at the logical place in the text.
    • 4/5
      The story of the lost colony of Roanoke looms large in this book, and I appreciated the author going into a lot more detail than my middle school history textbook. The story of all the voyages, attempted settlements, and struggles of early colonization are compelling and left me with a lot of respect for the bravery and persistence of early colonists. A good story and one I would now like to read more about.

      Filled in gaps in my knowledge of the Elizabethan era.
