Would you agree that the “depths of oppression” create “heights of character”? How does Mandela illustrate this? Can you add your own examples to this argument ?
It is absolutely true depths of oppression create great character. Gandhi would not have become a Mahatma if he had not faced the oppression of the British. Similarly, Nelson Mandela developed his character under the oppression of apartheid.
Nelson Mandela illustrated it by giving examples of great heroes of South Africa like Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu and others who were inspired to sacrifice their lives in the struggle for freedom.
India is full of such examples, during our freedom struggle there were a number of leaders with great characters and the oppression of British rule created encouraged people of noble characters like Lala Lajpat Rai, JL Nehru, Chandra Shekhar Ajad, Sardar Bhagat Singh and many more. If we compare them with the quality of political leaders India is having today, then Nelson Mandela seems to be absolutely right.Mandela followed the paths of such great leaders and won over the discrimation between the whites and blacks.
