Mohandas K Gandhi (Mahatma) told people: If a man Strikes you take no retaliation, Love that person even when they are hurting you.
Jesus said If a man strikes you on one cheek offer the other also. Love your enemies, do good to those that persecute you,....
Gandhi and Jesus seem to promulgate very similar perspectives and principles.
The bible says "we will know they are Christians by their love" and Gandhi loved his enemies. He even loved the one who shot him by immediately asking that no one hurt him or judge him while he lay their dieing.
This being said isn't Gandhi a Christian even though he professed to be a Hindu?
