    The colonialism in Africa and Asia was coming to an end. Countries began to gain independence and it all started on the Middle East in the 1940s. Educated societies in Africa and Asia began uprisings against European colonialism. Among these societies arose great leaders like Gandhi. Gandhi promoted non violence protests and believed in equal rights and freedom. He fought for the oppression of women and in a way can be identified as a feminist. Gandhi’s actions followed the Hallmarks of the Sisters of NDNU, that we have today. One of the Hallmarks says, “We seek to live this heritage by allowing it to influence our actions in today’s world”. Gandhi’s actions were based on the injustices the world was living on and he was trying to make a positive impact. Gandhi along with many gave the opportunity and encouraged other to fight for their independence and become educated. One of the Hallmarks of NDNU says, “We create environments that encourage the development of the whole person” . These leaders created this environment to give  knowledge and give people the opportunity to fight for themselves.
