Mustafa Kemal and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is a Turkish Muslim. He was mostly involved in religion and politics. Mustafa Kemal wanted to modernized the religion, Islam in Turkey. Mustafa didn't want to wear the traditional stuff that Muslims wore in the Middle East. He believed that religion is religion, you don't have to wear a specific thing. He felt that since they're in Europe, they wanted themselves to blend in the European style. Like he wanted them to wear such things, like jackets, hats, shoes, pants, and etc. that Europeans wore at that time, since Turkey is part of Europe.
He wanted the Turkish people to be considered civilized among their European neighbors. His main focus was on how the people dressed. He also got rid of the Islamic calendar and replaced it with the western calendar. He thought that if maybe he could change the way they dressed then maybe he can change the way they think and make them more liberal and open minded.

Gandhi

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind:

Gandhi was considered the father of india. Gandhi was one of the most influential people in india. He helped india overcome its suppressors,England. He did this by organizing a bunch of peaceful protests and boycotting a lot of british products and goods. He believed that non-violence would help him and it did.

Gandhi thought that if maybe he would not fight then the enemy would look bad and everyone would be on his side. I believe that if gandhi did not exist, india would still be able to gain its independence, but it would have taken them some time. India's independence would have still been achieved but not only would it have taken longer but it would have also been much, much longer. India wanted its independence because they were being oppressed and british goods were being forced onto to them.
