Question

Can you believe that the depth of inequality brings out the best of people? What is Mandela's example of this? Could you have your own example to support this argument?

Answer 1

Hint: During our fight for independence, we had a galaxy of great representatives. Perhaps because of the tyranny of British rule, there were so many men with those personalities. When we equate this to the current level of political leadership in India, it is clear that we have a long way to go.

Complete answer:
True, injustice brings out the best of people. Average people are destabilised by injustice, but men of character may use oppression to help grow their character.

Gandhi would not have been a Mahatma if he had not been subjected to British injustice. Mandela, too, grew as an individual while living under apartheid's injustice. Oliver Tambos, Walter Sisulus, Chief Luthulis, Yusuf Dadoos, Bram Fischers, and Robert Sobukwes were among those who stood by him in the face of apartheid persecution.

There are many examples of this in India. During our fight for independence, we had a galaxy of great representatives. Perhaps because of the tyranny of British rule, there were so many men with those personalities. When we consider the calibre of political leaders in India today, Nelson Mandela seems to be completely right.

Note:
- India is a country rich in such examples, with great leaders who gave their lives in the fight for independence.
- There was a community of leaders of great character, passion for their country, and a deep desire to do something for it, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Lala Lajpat Rai, JL Nehru, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Sardar Bhagat Singh, and others, who raised their voices against British rule, built consciousness, and encouraged citizens of noble characters like Mahatma Gandhi, Lala Lajpat Rai, JL Nehru, Chandra Shekhar Azad,
