 | "Generation to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this, ever in flesh and blood, walked upon the earth". - Albert Einstein. The above words from the renouned scientist are very true for M.GANDHI and describe that inspirations both mould & give direction to life. On January 1948, before three pistol shots put an end to his life, Gandhi had been on the political stage for more than fifty years. He had inspired two generations of India patriots, shaken an empire and sparked off a revolution which was to change the face of Africa and Asia. To millions of his own people, he was the Mahatma- the great soul- whose sacred glimpse was a reward in itself but his ideas and living was so simple that he used a stone instead of soap for his bath, wrote his letters on little bits of paper with little stumps of pencils which he could hardly hold between his fingers, shaved with a crude country razor and ate with a wooden spoon from a prisoner’s bowl. With his loin cloth, steel-rimmed glasses, rough sandals, a toothless smile and a voice which rarely rose above a whisper, he had a disarming humility and gave rise to a complete new mode of revolt- AHIMSA, which spread in the World like an epidemic.
