Not only did Gandhi’s lack of abandoning the Hindu caste system all together lead to few, if any, results his actions also lead many Untouchables to believe his efforts failed even farther. India’s “one true Untouchable hero” is a man name Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar and he came into play during Gandhi’s “greatest perceived sin”. (O'Neil, p. 5).
At this time, Gandhi began to seek employment as a lawyer in India. But his London education gave him little knowledge of Hindu and Indian law, making work very hard to find in India. He considered going to an Indian university, but at the time it was not economically feasible. Eventually he was able to find an opportunity to practice law that would bring him to Natal, South Africa in 1893.7

Buddhism’s founder was a man named Siddhartha Gautama, meaning “one who realized his goal.” Buddhists believe that when Siddhartha’s mother, Maha, was conceived she had a dream involving a white elephant carrying a lotus flower. She interpreted the dream to mean that her son would grow up to become a great spiritual leader. Just a week after Siddhartha was born, his mother died. Upon her death, he lived with his wealthy aunt and his father on a large estate. As Siddhartha grew up, his father kept him away from all suffering and anguish of the world. Unlike many of his peers, he was well educated and free from the world’s sorrows.
He had long desired to pursue graduate studies in England and, having failed to secure a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, he was accepted to the University of Cambridge. Although he had already earned a BA and an MA degree at Manitoba, Cambridge required him to enroll as an undergraduate "affiliated" student, with one year 's credit towards a three-year bachelor 's degree, before entering any doctoral studies. He entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge in the autumn of 1934, where he studied under I. A. Richards and F. R. Leavis, and was influenced by New Criticism.[16] Upon reflection years afterward, he credited the faculty there with influencing the direction of his later work because of their emphasis on the training of perception and such concepts as Richards 's notion of feedforward. These studies formed an important precursor to his later ideas on technological forms. He received the required bachelor 's degree from Cambridge in 1936 and entered their graduate program. Later, he returned from England to take a job as a teaching assistant at the University of Wisconsin–Madison that he held for the 1936–37 academic year, being unable to find a suitable job in Canada.
The life and legend of Gautama Buddha is a captivating one. Born an Indian Prince in the sixth century BCE near modern day Nepal, Siddhartha Gautama, as he was originally named, founded the belief of Buddhism. Much like spring time, Gautama Buddha was full of prospering life and energy. The biography Gautama Buddha: In Life and Legend by Betty Kelen provides insight into the life of the Buddha, and with these details, readers are able to make comparisons between he and springtime.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, otherwise known as “Mahatma,” meaning “great soul,” is an Indian philosopher, teacher, author, vegetarian, simple-living advocate, and the creator of the effective method of protest, “Civil Disobedience.” He helped contribute to the liberation of India from the British government, as well as aid the countless lives of others by teaching them to live in harmony, despite religious differences. Known in India as Bapu, translating to “Father of India,” Gandhi also helped in alleviating the poor from their burden of taxation. He strongly opposed the British rule in both South Africa and India, and instead of resorting to violence, Gandhi ultimately used the human emotion of suffering in order to open the eyes of others through empathy, effectively changing the way people protest throughout history.
Ramanujan was appointed to the post of clerk and began his duties on 1 March 1912. Ramanujan was quite lucky to have a number of people working round him with training in mathematics. In fact the Chief Accountant for the Madras Port Trust, S N Aiyar, was trained as a mathematician and published a paper On the distribution of primes in 1913 on Ramanujan's work. The professor of civil engineering at the Madras Engineering College, T. Griffith was also interested in Ramanujan's abilities and, having been educated at University College London, knew the professor of mathematics there, namely M. Hill. He wrote to Hill on 12 November 1912 sending some of Ramanujan's work and a copy of his 1911 paper on Bernoulli numbers.

On the midnight of 14 August 1947, when the world was sleeping India awoke to life and freedom. Awaking from the slumber of foreign yoke the nation resolved to break away from all the shackles which had brought insurmountable pain and misfortune on its children. Purging itself from the scum of ignorance, communalism and archaic traditions which ensured subjugation of millions in the name of caste and sex were few such resolutions. True to the ideals of a modern parliamentary democracy which the country chose to follow, the constitution was turned into a potent weapon to deal with all such vices which was holding the country back. Untouchability was prohibited, communal electorates were done away with, and secularism was enshrined, in short with swift strokes of pen a social revolution was commenced upon.
Mohandas Gandhi is considered the father of the Indian independence movement. When Gandhi was 23 years old, he left his family behind and went to South Africa, arriving in British-governed Natal in May 1893. Gandhi arrived there and was hoping to earn a little bit of money and to learn more about law; instead, he went from a very quiet and shy man to a resilient and potent leader against discrimination. This all started when he took a business trip after he arrived in South Africa. He boarded the first train of his journey at the Pietermartizburg station, railroad officials told Gandhi that he needed to transfer to the third-class passenger car. Even though he was holding first-class passenger tickets and refused to move, a policeman came and threw him off the train. He also faced other challenges on his trip. He found out that this is a common problem with the Indian community. After his experience, he decided to not let these injustices continue, and he was going to fight to change these discriminatory practices.
