VASCO DA GAMA

Remember when European explorers tried their very best to find a route to India? Well, we present you, the famous Vasco da Gama. A Portuguese sailor and the very first European to find a sea route to India. He made Portugal a great power in the 1500’s, his discoveries rally round open trade between western Europe and Asia.  By the times of 1460, Portuguese sailors had already begun to explore the west coast of Africa and by which time Da Gama was born in Sines, Portugal. Bartholomeu Dias aspired the route to India when he sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, at the southern tip of Africa in 1487. Eventually, King Manuel I of Portugal asked Da Gama to continue Dias’ explorations in 1497.  With the order from his king, Da Gama sailed from Lisbon on July 8, 1497 with four ships and about 170 men.

ROMAN EMPEROR: BEING NICE

Being an Emperor of a great big empire, requires attitude and ability! Would a nice person succeed as a Roman Emperor? The possibility is limited, as we can read throughout the history of the Roman Empire, few passed the requirements to be called “nice-person-successful-emperor”. I'm not saying it's not possible, but a leader must show aggressiveness in cases that needs seriousness and haste. Being a all-nice-person emperor, hmmm not that good enough.

INDIRA GANDHI

Indira Gandhi was one of the outstanding woman political figure and political leader of her time and was prime minister of India. Indira was born on November 19, 1917 in Uttar Pradesh state. She was educated at schools in England and Switzerland as well as in India. Jawaharlal Nehru was her father, the first prime minister of independent India. She married a lawyer named Feroze Gandhi in 1942. Rajiv and Sanjiv were their two sons. Gandhi was concisely involved in the effort that led to Indian independence in 1947. After her father died in 1964, she served as minister of information and broadcasting under his successor, Lal Bahadur Shastri. In 1966, she became prime minister following Shastri’s death. Unrivaled as a politician, Gandhi implemented a powerful hold over millions of Indians, princi...
