The world rightly considers Gandhi the greatest Indian after the Buddha. - Indira Gandhi
... non -violence does not mean humble submission to the will of the attacker. This is rather the opposition of all the spiritual forces of the Tiranian evil will. Non -power is not a lot of cowardice, it is always heroism. At the same time, the possession of non -violence requires a person of much greater art than it is necessary for a fencer with a sword. A person who owns the method of non -violence is able to challenge the power of an unfair empire and defend his honor and dignity ... ”wrote Mahatma Gandhi. The life of every person, according to the philosopher and politician, is a chain of his experiments with the truth, the question is only in the purpose with which they are committed. Mahatma Gandhi saw his goal in the liberation of his people from centuries of slavery, the revival of the culture of Great India. He wanted to feed the hungry, protect the humiliated, give hope to the destitute. This goal is not new, as well as the main means of achieving it is a revolution. Only by his main means Gandhi chose not a cobblestone - a weapon of the proletariat, but selfless love. And he saw the meaning of political activity not in the undercover intrigues, but in search of truth ... In 1939, he wrote to Adolf Hitler and turned to him dear friend, trying to stop the world war and convey to him at least a particle of that selfless faith in The power of the human spirit, which was endowed with himself. This book was composed by the most famous texts of Gandhi, dedicated to his theory of non -resistance to evil, biographical notes and letters
