Satyagraha by Gandhi Background:

Gandhi was born in the region of Gujarat on the NW coast of India just down a bit from the Indus Valley and the Thar Desert. His family moved to England where he was educated and received a law degree. He then spent time in South Africa and realized how horrible the British treated anyone of darker skin often calling them Kaffirs. His mindset, like Paul in Hotel Rwanda, was that he was allowed to make his way in a dominated white culture and society that did not offer the “dream” of advancement and station that he aspired to achieve. He returned to India twice and realized at the beginning of the 20th century that he had a duty to his own people. He advocated the nonviolence movement that had actually been quite popular in India for some time. There had been the Ahimsa movement as far back as the beginning of Buddhism and Jainism. Also, during the Hindu Renaissance, there was a resurgence of the nonviolent movement in Bengal called Swadeshi (“one’s own country ” in Sanskrit) which included refusing Indian goods, non-violence, and a violent wing that saw burning and destruction of British goods.

The Servant Leader has power but uses it for nurturing growth, not domination or manipulation. There are descriptions of leadership concepts in other languages where it is equally difficult to fully understand and realize the concepts’ implications for our own leadership. Ubuntu This is a Zulu word that describes leadership in terms of interrelationships – “a person is a person because of other people” – emphasizing both individuality and connectedness; personal identity exists only when others acknowledge it does.
