Ghandi was certainly in tune with God and the human need regardless of the ignorance of men. I believe: finding out the needs first, before any intervention is made, will in most cases eliminate acts of violence and ill acts of indecency.

How can you argue with Ghandi's wisdom? Too bad more people don't subscribe to these ideologies.

Perhaps Ghandi's fate was to be born in the wrong era. As great as he was, it's interesting to think how well he would have been received in the 1960s.
