Can you say what qualities Nabat khanym and Mohandas K.Gandhi possessed?

Nabat khanym Ashurbeyova was one of the richest women in Azerbaijan in the 19th century. Oil fields and apartment houses were the source of great wealth that she possessed.
After she married Haji Musa Rza Rzayev, a wealthy merchant, Nabat khanym became known as a philanthropist. She attended all meetings of Baku Charity Society. Nabat khanym joined H.Z.Taghiyev`s initiative and made huge contributions to financing construction of Shollar water pipeline, which is one of the largest water pipeline systems that supplies Baku with drinking water. Mrs Ashurbeyova also lent a large amount of money to the construction of the “Seyyid Hospital” in the district of Sabunchu in Baku. Patients were treated in this hospital at her expense for a long time. Her greatest charity was the construction of the Teze Pir mosque.

Mohandas K. Gandhi was a Hindu Indian who had studied law in London. For most his life, he fought for racial equality and for the independence of India from British rule. India was controlled by Britain, and when Gandhi returned home, he was angered by the poverty and inequality he saw in his country. He urged Indians to make their own clothing so they wouldn’t have to buy British goods. Hindus began to call Gandhi “Mahatma”, which means “great soul”. Most Indians could not afford to buy expensive British salt, but it was against the law for them to make their own. So Gandhi walked 200 miles to the ocean to make salt from seawater. He taught Indians how to get back control of their country by peaceful actions. India finally won independence from Britain in 1947. During the last year of his life, Gandhi worked to build peace between all the peoples of India.
