Mohamed Ameen's services to the nation

When Mohamed Ameen returned to Male' after studying abroad there was a committee drafting a constitution and king Shamsudeen appointed him, by royal letter, to that group. He was its youngest and most intelligent member. After numerous difficulties, the constitution was completed and it was formally approved on Thursday 23 Shauban 1351 (22 December 1932). Acting under the constitution, the king gave the Minister for Trade portfolio to Mohamed Ameen, and he performed well in accordance with the practices of the time. Shortly after the adoption of the constitution, a serious dispute began between the Borah traders and the government.

Fifty people from Galolhu ward gathered...

Biography of Mahatma Gandhi

The word Mahatma means great soul. This name was not given Gandhi at birth by his parents, but many years later by the Indian people when they discovered they had a Mahatma in their midst. Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, a small state in western India. He was named Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The word Gandhi means grocer, and generations earlier that had been the family occupation. But Gandhi's grandfather, father, and uncle had served as prime ministers to the princes of Porbandar and other tiny Indian states, and though lower caste, the Gandhis were middle-class, cultured, and deeply religious Hindus. Gandhi remembered his father as truthful, brave, incorruptible, and short-tempered, but he remembered his mother as a saint. She often fasted for long periods, and once, during the four months of the rainy season, ate only on the rare days that the sun shone.
