was a major political and spiritual leader of India, and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer[1] and perfector of Satyagraha — the resistance of tyranny through mass civil disobedience strongly founded upon ahimsa (total non-violence), which led India to independence, and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known and addressed in India and across the world as Mahatma Gandhi (from Sanskrit, Mahatma: Great Soul) and as Bapu (in many Indian languages, Father).\n\nAn English-educated lawyer, Gandhi first employed his ideas of peaceful civil disobedience in the Indian community's struggle for civil rights in South Africa. Upon his return to India, Gandhi organized poor farmers and labourers in India to protest oppressive taxation and extensive discrimination, and carried it forward on the national stage to protest oppressive laws made by the British Raj. Becoming the leader of the Indian National Congress, Gandhi led a nationwide campaign for the alleviation of the poor, for the liberation of Indian women, for brotherhood amongst communities of differing religions and ethnicity, for an end to untouchability and caste discrimination, and for the economic self-sufficiency of the nation, but above all for Swaraj — the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led Indians in the disobedience of the salt tax through the 400 kilometer (248 miles) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and in an open call for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years on numerous occasions in South Africa and India.\n\nThroughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in the most extreme situations. Gandhi was a student of Hindu philosophy and lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs. He made his own clothes — the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with a charkha — and lived on a simple vegetarian diet. He used rigorous fasts — abstaining from food and water for long periods — for self-purification as well as a means of protest.\n\nGandhi was recognized as the Father of the Nation by Subhas Bose and later by the whole nation (India). October 2, his birthday, is each year commemorated as Gandhi Jayanti, and is a national holiday. Gandhi's life and teachings inspired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Biko and Aung San Suu Kyi and respectively the American civil rights movement and the freedom struggles in South Africa and Myanmar.

Hello Neha!The role of Women in Indian Freedom Struggle is very significant. We can think of Jansi Rani and her courage in the Great Revolt of 1857, which was a seed for the independece struggle, and Kasturi Bai, who served as a moral support for the father of our nation. I think my answer satisfies you. Bye!

In 1930, gandhi marched to the sea and made salt.  in 1947, the proud people of india won their independence from their imperialist oppressors half a world away.  in 17 short years, gandhi "led" the people of india to freedom from a country 1/15 its size with 1/7 the population.  17 short years, preceded by centuries of rule by outsiders.  what a proud and glorious time, to "win" freedom from a broken country that was on the verge of being wiped off the map, that was in shambles from the ravages of WWII.  the actions of gandhi had a profound impact on india, delaying freedom by years, reinforcing the indian subservient mentality.\n\nif gandhi were alive today, im sure he would fix the problem by the mighty weapon of "fasting" to teach the pharma companies a stern lesson.  "if you dont stop what you are doing, i wont eat"\n\nif gandhi were alive today, if india did rid itself of the shackles of abuse and oppression, he would refuse to deal with the aftermath of the problem and allow india to be split into many pieces, resulting in more than a million deaths and the displacement of many million people and the eventual creation of rival nations armed with nuclear weapons, constantly at war, he could add to his legacy greatly.\n\nthe way to prosperity and the ability of a nation to take care of itself comes from moving forward and making progress, not moving backwards and spinning your own thread.  india is moving forward in some sectors today because of education and progress into the 20th and 21st century.  the problem of clinical trials will end when the value of an indian life is more than the price that a pharma company is willing to pay to acquire such information.  today, the value of an indian life is lower because of the misguided backward thinking of people like gandhi.  it is lower because of overpopulation that comes from arbitrary use of vaccines and inoculations without thinking about the social change that needs to be coupled with it.  mostly, it is lower because of centuries of "training" by oppressors to be inferior.  it is time to cleanse india and indians of the poison that is this backwards thinking, instead of the artificial cleansing of clinical trials.  when the indian nation and people are able to evolve backwards,  ironically, to a time when they were proud and forward to a time when they are smart enough to make the right choices, the value of an indian life will be too high for a pharma company to "buy" it for their trials.\n\nthe rejection of this "new imperialism" comes not from embracing the "fasting" mentality, it comes from the embracing of the "we'll build automobile factories, aircraft carriers, increase our investment in infrastructure, create pharma companies that create drugs instead of just producing fake knockoffs of western drugs, and becoming part of the modern world" mentality.  for today, we do not ban clinical trials and cower away from reality, we run as fast as we can and apply our resources to fighting our true oppressor, our own weak minds.

I've been to a couple. I remember volunteering at some of the free kitchens and fetching water in five gallon buckets . I had lunch with the Krishna's. There were giant om circles. Lots of naked people. Different music circles, scattered around campfires. Shanti sena. No alcohol was permitted but there was always a renegade alcohol camp on the fringe causing a rukus. There were hobos, rastas, college professors, bikers, Jerry's kids and freaks from every walk of life. And there were lots of hugs, deep in national forest land and stories an ancient Hopi Prophecy of how the children of the white man would return to living in harmony with nature. That's what I remember.

I think Rishi Vatsyayan is misunderstood about this question.  Harminder is asking about Gandhi family (Indira Gandhi/Sonia Gandhi family) and not about Mahatma Gandhi\n\nNow the answer is - dog will win.

Gandhi's philosophy expostulated in his own words on various topics viz. Truth, Peace, Fearlessness, Love, Nonviolence, Vegetarianism, ... amongst 96 others, is available under the title: "The Mind of Mahatma andhi." \n\n"Mind of Mahatma" is an encyclopedia of thoughts of one of the most revered souls of the 20th Century.  For Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi –Mahatma Gandhi for millions of Indians - his life and thoughts were two sides of the same coin and hence the book unfolds a life which was dedicated for human liberation. It was a life that encompassed the compassion of Gautam Buddha and the passion of Christ for service to humankind. Perhaps this prompted Albert Einstein to say that the forthcoming generations would not even believe that such a man walked on this planet. In his life of truth and Nonviolence, he could melt the differences between individuals, countries and continents. The book, in fact, re-establishes the relevance of the Mahatma in modern times. Several scholars have described this book, which has been translated in many languages, as the new "Bible" or the new "Gita". \n\nThis 496 page book is about the Mahatma's thoughts on truth, nonviolence, fearlessness, democracy, simplicity, Sarvodaya, trusteeship, celibacy, self-reliance and about himself. The book is divided into 15 chapters and 96 subjects. \n\n"I have nothing new to say...the principles of truth and nonviolence are as old as the hills", Mahatma wrote. These words derived their strength from the life of Mahatma who epitomized these values. Mahatma's words came alive with the wisdom he found in confronting personal and social problems. Now, for many, they are not just words, but the power of life. Mahatma's struggle was not against any individual but against the system of oppression.

About Lala Lajpat Rai I know that he took part in the procession that was carried by some other etremists Bhagat Singh and the others in which they were shouting slogans "Simon Go Back'\nSimon was some cruel British Officer in those times.It was a very aggressive procession , ppl carried black flags with them to symbolise thier protest...but this turned out very ugly.Lathi charge was imposed on everyone and Lala was brutally hit and he died in the incident.
