		<description><![CDATA[Achievements: Mohandas K.  Gandhi was the spiritual and political leader of the Indian independence movement and an advocate of nonviolent resistance as a means to effect social change. Gandhi assumed a leading role in the Indian National Congress in 1921 and transformed the party into a mass movement dedicated to ending social and economic discrimination against Indians and achieving India's complete independence. He was also a vocal advocate for the emancipation of the Hindu "untouchable" class, as well as unity between the Hindu and Muslim communities. Following India's declaration of independence, he opposed the partition of India and Pakistan. Gandhi was shot and killed by a radical Hindu nationalist on Jan. 30, 1948.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calabarboy.com&blog=3830656&post=527&subd=holyreg&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dominant craze among people especially women to lose weight by other means than the time honoured principles of dieting and exercise, has produced a monstrous market for alternative approaches to weight loss. Now you simply have to eat all you want and then take some tablets and all your fat gets burnt and you retain that sexy shape that so allure the eyes of the beholder. But what we tend to forget that there is a heavy cost in wanting quick fixes to problems we have placed on ourselves by our own foolishness. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calabarboy.com&blog=3830656&post=525&subd=holyreg&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
