Though the media has been flooding in and out with life history of Nelson Mandela and the Internet has been overflowing with each and every detail about him.I felt that on my part I should write something about this great man..Nelson Mandela ,who was often called as "Gandhi of South Africa.."
While the world had forgotten Gandhian principles and theories,he came in there and proved the world that Ahimsa and Satyagraha could always win.He demonstrated his characteristic firmness in pursuit of Justice.For a man who was imprisoned for nearly thirty years of his life who struggled against the white minority rule to bring down apartheid rule..Whatever great titles he was conferred with..may it be Bharat Ratna, Nobel Price or the Gandhi Peace Price..it shall all be very small when compared to the millions of hearts which he continue to rule.Leave all his early life he became the South African President in 1994..,Mandela was a man of charisma,he continued to play a prominent role on world stage.He formally left public life in 2004 at the age of 86,but is still remembered with the same fondness as of his early years.
Three U S presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George Bush attended his memorial service to pay homage at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg..,The gathering was with nearly 100 world leaders with a crowd of 80,000 people ,braving the rain. Earlier Princess Dianas funeral recorded more than a million people attendance to pay homage at her funeral at West Minister Abbey in Sep 1997.,.In Moscow five million people waited in a line that stretched to 10 km to see the father of the Nation Joseph Stalin in 1953.. On tuesday ,Dec 10th, people from all walks of life stood united to show their respect for the "Giant of History"as Obama called him.
.INTERESTING FACT TO KNOW:
Though the world know him as Nelson Mandela,South Africas anti-aparthied hero has five other names including Tata..At birth he was given the name Rolhahla Mandela.He was named Nelson at primary school..Mandela is also referred to as Madiba, Tata and Khulu...
