Gandhi, a former political leader from India, once said that â€Å"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary, the evil is does is permanent†. Before the events of World War 1, war was often glorified and people who joined the war were viewed as heroes for the country. In All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque, a former soldier from World War 1, takes the reader through Paul’s experiences as a soldier along with motivation for countries and soldier to join the war. Alongside this, Remarque shows gruesome images of soldier’s deaths in order to show what horrific consequences war took on both countries and soldiers. Nationalism and Alliances were a reason to join. People often viewed†¦show more content†¦The attack of Serbia caused by Austria-Hungary set off a chain reaction of war like events, starting from Russia coming for support due to close bonds between Serbia and Germany declaring war on both Russia and France. While many countries and individuals initially believed that entering WWI would benefit their country, the soldiers soon faced the negative consequences of losing their former identity and innocence. This was a terrible consequence from the war because the soldiers became dehumanized from their former identity. What was once as fun of a thing as life becomes stupefied; and as a result, the soldiers lose their humanity. In All Quiet on the Western Front, Remarque shows how soldiers fighting in WWI face losing their sense of humanity. This is evident in when Paul comes home during his leave and realizes that war has changed him for the worst. â€Å"Out there I was indifferent and often hopeless- I will never be able to be so again. I was a soldier, and now I am nothing but an agony for myself, for my mother, for everything that is so comfortless without end. I ought to have never come back† (Remarque 185). Not only has Paul lost his former sense of humanity, he feels at home bei ng a soldier rather than being at home. Paul is uncomfortable being at home as he can no longer live a life without thinking about death and feels agony for himself due to dehumanization.

Shroff began a Forum of Free Enterprise, whose ideas on economic development were somewhat at odds with those then influentially articulated by the Planning Commission of the Government of India.
