After five days, the opposing leaders said they would stop the fighting and Gandhi broke his fast and started eating again.

The Indian people called Gandhi “Mahatma,” meaning “Great Soul.”Text B Albert Schweltzer“ Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will — his personal responsibility.” —Albert Schweitzer Albert Schweitzer was born in Alsace, Germany, which is now a part of France.
