Gandhi is a first example of proving that non-violence is one of the most effective tool for transformation as a society. He wanted equal treatment for Indian people at par with any British citizen. But Britain wasn’t ready to grant full dominion status, then series of incidents moved him to ask for full freedom. In his early years in Africa when he was going through transformation, there were some incidents which reflected some prejudice against native Africans, but subsequently he became a changed man, his greatness lies in constantly reinventing himself as he learns more about life. Gandhi will be crying in his grave of what India has been turned into, in just 6 years. An intolerant, divided society with complete disdain for rule of law. The concept of reason has gone away completely [1]. Hope the lessons of COVID-19 can turn the tide, hopefully into a plural India which celebrates unity in diversity and again put emphasis on reason, scientific thinking and rule of law.
