Robert Browning is one of the greatest Victorian poets. He is known as a psychological poet. He was born in Camber Well in the outskirts of London in 1812. From his home and from his first school at Poekham, he could see London, and the city light at night and the smoky Chimneys by day.
His schooling was short and desultory, his education being attended to by private tutors and by his father. Like Tennyson, this boy found his work very early. Then he fell under the influence of Shelley and his first known work Pauline in 1833.
In 1846, he suddenly became famous, not because he finished in that year his Bells and Pomegranates but because he closed to the best known literary woman in England, Elizabeth Barrett. Browning gave his best known volumes Dramatic Lyrics in 1842, Dramatic Romances and Lyrics in 1845 and Dramatic Persona in 1864.
The Ring and the Book appeared in 1868, he had given to the world the noblest expression of his poetic genius. The death of Elizabeth Barrett is a great shock in his life.
She suddenly died in 1861 and was buried in Florence. Browning’s famous line, “O lyric love, half angel and half bird”, may well apply to her frail life and aerial spirit. Browning died in 1886.

Mahatma Gandhi was born in Kathiawad on October 2, 1869 in an old Bania family. At 17 he passed his Matriculation Examination and proceeded to England in 1887 to qualify himself for the bar, leaving behind an infant son.
After he was called to the bar in June, 1891 he sailed for home. In 1915 he went to Natal in South Africa and made his mark as a political leader fighting hard against the local Europeans for the just right of the Indians. In 1916 he championed the cause of the Champaran peasants against the white indigo-planters.
His non-cooperation campaign of 1920, his salt Satyagraha of 1930 and finally his ‘Quit India Movement’ of 1942 were the noble moves on the political chess board of India, which made him the idol of the people.
