Mahatma Gandhi - The Most Famous...

Kelly Mass

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian attorney, anti-colonial patriot, and political ethicist who used nonviolent resistance to lead the triumphant struggle for India's independence from British rule, motivating civil liberties and liberty movements around the globe. The epithet Mahtm (which means "great-souled" or "age-old" in Sanskrit) was at first appointed to him in South Africa in the year 1914 and is now used all across the world.
Gandhi was born into a Hindu family in seaside Gujarat and studied law at the Inner Temple in London.
In the year 1893, he came to South Africa to represent an Indian business owner in a case after 2 years in India, where he was not able to establish a rewarding law practice.
He spent the next 21 years of his life in South Africa. Gandhi raised his family here and was the first to use nonviolent resistance in a civil liberties struggle.
He went back to India in the year 1915, at the age of 45. He started setting in motion peasants, farmers, and city workers to fight oppression and high land taxes. Gandhi led statewide projects to reduce poverty, promote women's rights, build spiritual and ethnic amity, get rid of untouchability, and, above all, accomplish swaraj, or self-rule, after presuming management of the Indian National Congress in the year 1921.
Gandhi has meant much for the peace, the independence, and the culture of India, as well as his acts of non-violent resistance that have influenced the world. Let’s take a look at what else he did.

Geographical Oddities -...

John Harpoon

This book consists of the following titles:
- The Great Escape from the Inescapable Prison: The Inescapable Prison has long stood as a symbol of absolute confinement, a fortress so impenetrable that even the thought of escape seemed futile. Perched on an isolated island, surrounded by treacherous waters and patrolled by an elite cadre of guards, this prison was designed to crush not just the body but also the spirit. Its towering walls, crafted from stone rumored to be unbreakable, and its maze-like interiors presented an overwhelming challenge for anyone bold—or desperate—enough to dream of freedom. Over decades, countless prisoners tried to outwit the prison’s relentless grip, and every attempt ended the same way: failure.
- World's Deadliest Destinations: The world is full of places that, for various reasons, have earned a reputation as deadly destinations. From war zones to natural disasters, some locations are marked by extreme danger, making them almost inhospitable for those who venture too close. This chapter aims to explore the factors that contribute to these perilous places, offering a broader understanding of what makes a destination deadly. At the core of every dangerous place is a unique combination of environmental, political, and social factors that amplify the risks for those who live or travel there. Conflict zones, for instance, are often marked by violence, political instability, and lawlessness, creating environments where human life is under constant threat. In these regions, wars, civil unrest, and insurgent groups create an atmosphere of chaos where survival can be a daily struggle.

Sumerian Gods and Heroes -...

Odessa Nightshade

The mythology of the Sumerians stands as one of the earliest recorded religious traditions, shaping the beliefs of later civilizations in Mesopotamia and beyond. As one of the first urban societies, the Sumerians established a complex pantheon of gods and heroes that explained the forces of nature, human existence, and the divine order of the universe. Their myths, inscribed on clay tablets in cuneiform script, offer a glimpse into a world where deities governed every aspect of life, from the rising sun to the floods of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These stories, rich with symbolism and allegory, not only influenced later cultures but also laid the foundation for many of the myths and legends still told today.  
Sumerian civilization thrived in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now modern-day Iraq, around 3100 BCE. The Sumerians built city-states such as Uruk, Ur, and Nippur, each with its own patron deity. Religion was deeply intertwined with governance, as rulers were seen as intermediaries between the gods and the people. The belief that divine favor determined a city’s prosperity reinforced the importance of rituals, offerings, and temple constructions, particularly the iconic ziggurats that served as sacred centers of worship. The Sumerian gods were not distant, benevolent figures but rather powerful beings with human emotions and rivalries, shaping the world through both harmony and conflict.  
The primary sources of Sumerian mythology come from cuneiform texts, including the Enuma Elish, various temple hymns, and the Epic of Gilgamesh. These texts preserve tales of creation, divine wars, and the struggles of mortal heroes. The myths of Anu, Enlil, and Enki explain the structure of the cosmos and the forces that govern it, while legends of Inanna and Dumuzi reveal the themes of love, fertility, and the cycle of life and death.
