Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, dancer, singer-
songwriter, musician, and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most
successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion,
along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers
as a member of The Jackson 5, then the Jacksons in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family
moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy
and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal
Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he
gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted
a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.

Mahatma Gandi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the pre-eminent political and
ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement. A pioneer of satyagraha, or resistance to
tyranny through mass civil disobedience — a philosophy firmly founded upon ahimsa, or total nonviolence —
Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. [2]
Gandhi is often referred to as Mahatma ([məɦaːtt maː]; Sanskrit: महहतमह mahātmā or "Great Soul," an honorific
first applied to him by Rabindranath Tagore).[3] In India, he is also called Bapu (Gujarati: બબાપપ, bāpu or "Father")
and officially honoured as the Father of the Nation. His birthday, 2 October, is commemorated in India as
Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Non-Violence.

Gandhi first employed non-violent civil disobedience as an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, in the resident
Indian community's struggle for civil rights. After his return to India in 1915, he set about organising peasants,
farmers, and urban labourers in protesting excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming leadership of the
Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's
rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, increasing economic self-reliance, but above
all for achieving Swaraj — the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led Indians in
protesting the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 km (250 mi) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and later in calling
for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years, on many occasions, in both South
Africa and India.

Gandhi strove to practice non-violence and truth in all situations, and advocated that others do the same. He
lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven
with yarn he had hand spun on a charkha. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as
means of both self-purification and social protest.
