your choice. 
 
If it is decided to build a statue or monument to honor a famous person in my country, I 
would choose Mahatma Gandhi- the father of our nation. Though there are many other 
personalities who have contributed to the country and will be a part of the unforgettable 
glorious past of our country, but Mahatma Gandhi's contribution to his country and 
fellowmen is irreplaceable.
Mahatma Gandhi was a person who made it possible to achieve independence from British 
rule. He believed in the principle of non-violence, which he followed throughout his life 
till he breathed his last. Due to his realistic approach, our country was able to free itself 
from the shackles of injustice and slavery. 
Mahatma Gandhi was an advocate by profession but he spent his entire life for his country 
and lived a most simple and disciplined life. He invented the spinning wheel, which was 
meant to teach the people of the country a means of producing their own cloth for wearing 
instead of relying upon the foreign goods. The superior example of his simplicity and 
determination to achieve anything in life is an inspiration for the generations to come. 
In conclusion, Mahatma Gandhi in my opinion truly deserves the respect of people and 
also the title given to him as the father of the Nation. Any monument/statue in his memory 
can prove to be a mark of respect for the great personality.
