Mahatma Gandhi Biography
Mohandas K. Gandhi was born in 1869, in Porbandar, India. Mohandas was from the social cast of tradesmen. His mother was illiterate, but her common sense and religious devotion had a lasting impact on Gandhi’s character. As a youngster, Mohandas was a good student, but the shy young boy displayed no signs of leadership. On the death of his father, Mohandas travelled to England to gain a degree in law. He became involved with the Vegetarian Society and was once asked to translate the Hindu Bhagavad Gita. This classic of Hindu literature awakened in Gandhi a sense of pride in the Indian scriptures, of which the Gita was the pearl.

AKHIL SENGARPublished 2 years ago in The SwampIs Historical Ignorance Ever a Good Thing?
Typically it is supposed that a solid working knowledge of history is a very good thing. It seems obvious to say that those who do not know/understand/appreciate history are doomed to repeat it. I absolutely agree, after all, it is much easier (though still not always easy) to avoid a mistake one has already made, than to avoid one you do not even see coming and, with which, you have no previous experience. Almost everyone I believe would agree that historical knowledge is a very good thing to have. However, is this obvious, and much agreed upon statement, always true? Are there situations where ignorance of historical events would be advantageous versus having such knowledge? The transgenerational trauma hypothesis posits that for historically traumatic events it is not only the generation that lives through them that suffers, but also subsequent generations. The trauma is "passed down" to future generations and the suffering associated with that event continues to traumatize those that were never directly impacted by the originally triggering traumatic event. Slavery and the holocaust are two oft cited examples. I do not dispute that transgenerational trauma is real, and continues to effect those that are descendants of the original peoples involved in those historical tragedies. But, what about, less well remembered events? Events that were very much traumatic and historically impactful, but about which much less is known or remembered today.
