Title: Gandhi......
Post by: DJ_Jay_Deee on August 23, 2002, 05:34:04 AM
I've learnt a lot about Gandhi recently. I have to say he is one of the most amazing humans to ever walk the earth. He is a role model to all of us. He is the most unselfish person, I have ever encountered. He practically gave independence to India. Not by by telling lies and using violence, but by telling the truth and using non-violence. He was just an incredible person.

What do u guys think about him??

I think he was a great, and amazing man.  Possibly second only to Jesus Christ, in my opinion.  Even though he wasn't christian, I think he was inspired by god, and even a prophet of god, because he definately did gods work while on earth.  Maybe I give him too much credit, I don't know a ton about other great prophets lives, and we don't know enough about King Solomon, Moses, and Abraham to make a 100% determination, but I'd definately say Ghandi was one of the greatest, most loving, charitable, intelligent, and wise men to ever live.  I believe he also had a big hand in easing the caste system, too, didn't he?  I think he was the first to go around saying that it didn't matter what Caste you were born into.

Yeah he did. He said that there should be no Untouchables. And he himself dressed like an Untouchable and even did stuff like cleaned the toilet, like an Untoucable.

Word.  I agree with all of you.  God must have sent Ghandi as a mercy to India.  For India, throughout history, had repeatedly been colonized by the Persians, by the Afghans, by Alexander the Great, by the Arabs, by the Mongols, and by the Turks.  Depending on how you count, the British were the eighth or ninth colonial power to invade India.
