There are many print editions of Gandhi’s autobiography around the world, licensed by Navajivan; and there will be many more, especially since the work is now out of copyright. The pagination of these works varies enormously. Therefore, in my references to this book, I have cited Part and Chapter rather than page numbers. However, since the book originated from a series of newspaper articles, each chapter is only a few pages long, so my citations will be relatively easy to track down.APAC/BLAsia, Pacific and Africa Collections, British Library, LondonBCBombay Chronicle (newspaper published from Bombay)CWMGCollected Works of Mahatma Gandhi (New Delhi: Publications Division, 1958–1994)DDawn (newspaper published from Delhi till 1947, and later from Karachi)DTDGMahadev H.

    “You are just in time, my small friend. A new era is dawning for the people of India. Thank you, Mario, I shall not forget you.”
    —Mahatma Gandhi, Mario's Time Machine (PC)

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), better known by his honorific, Mahatma, was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist who was instrumental in helping India gain its independence from the United Kingdom. He campaigned through nonviolent tactics and actively sought to prevent bloodshed against anyone. Through imprisonment, riots, and a massacre against the Indian people, Gandhi maintained his passiveness, and he became a persuasive and highly revered figure in India. Gandhi eventually succeeded in realizing an independent India in 1947, though he was assassinated in 1948. At the time of India's first day of independence, Gandhi was in Calcutta, attempting to quell some of the emerging riots, but according to Mario's Time Machine, Gandhi was there to celebrate India's independence alongside its citizens. However, before they could fly India's new Flag, it is stolen by Bowser, and Mario, attempting to return the flag, meets with Gandhi in Calcutta.

    History

    Background

    According to the biography given for Gandhi in Mario's Time Machine, he has earned a considerable amount of prestige throughout his lifetime and beyond. He was born in India in 1869, and studied law in Great Britain before settling in South Africa. There, he used a movement called "satyagraha" to actively but nonviolently resist the British's unjust laws. Eventually, he was satisfied with the results, and returned to India so that he may attempt the same tactics. However, although he originally seeked to cooperate with the British, a massacre conducted by the British against Indian nationalist broke out, which led him to perform direct protests against Great Britain (while always remaining nonviolent). Gandhi gained great inf

    Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister, activist, and political philosopher who was one of the most prominent leaders in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. King advanced civil rights for people of color in the United States through the use of nonviolent resistance and nonviolent civil disobedience against Jim Crow laws and other forms of legalized discrimination.

    A black church leader, King participated in and led marches for the right to vote, desegregation, labor rights, and other civil rights. He oversaw the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and later became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). As president of the SCLC, he led the unsuccessful Albany Movement in Albany, Georgia, and helped organize some of the nonviolent 1963 protests in Birmingham, Alabama. King was one of the leaders of the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and helped organize two of the three Selma to Montgomery marches during the 1965 Selma voting
