Answer 2

Who says so called "racism" is wrong? For that matter, what makes you think you won't be immediately killed for becoming violent simply because you disagree with how society allocates resources.

Ghandi was concerned with preventing mistreatment of people and the key to that was an enlightened understanding of the value of others and the immorality of the mistreatment.

He absolutely did not adhere to the false multi-culturalism of today that (basically lies) and says that all people are the same and that entitles people to redistribution of wealth and forced equality to authority and positions of responsibility. The correct way to allocate these things is based on merit and the only moral way to handle resources is for people to keep what they earn. Working against these principles is wrong and there is no way Ghandi would support this. Using violence isn't just wrong, it's evil and has harsh consequences, especially for the ones doing the violence.

Put another way. If you decide to riot so that you can loot my home and my business, you should expect to be shot....because that is exactly what is going to happen. And in the off chance you should succeed in destroying what others created, you can expect to starve.....look what is happening in Zimbabwe for a very clear example when violence is successfully used to destroy "racism".

Answer 3

Firstly, his name is Mahatma Gandhi, not 'Ghandi'.
Mahatma Gandhi was not the Father of the Nation for nothing. His approach was absolutely right. Non-violence if followed in the world will surely make it a better place to live in.

Answer 4

No one cause he wasn't a coward! Mohatmah Ghandi was anything but a coward. He withstood imprisonment, injury, and even death without a word. He was the reason India is still at least semi-peaceful.

Answer 5

Nonviolence has been shown as a very effective means of making a point. If you are prepared to lay your life down for a cause, then doing so in a sacrificial way will gain you far more mileage than a bloody coup.

Answer 6

If there ever lived one man on Earth who was never a coward, then it was Mohandas K. Gandhi, the greatest leader and thinker of modern times.

Answer 7

first of all he was not overly concerned with racism. he was against british rule of india. IMHO he is much too revered for his approch since many people think nonviolence is the answer for every confrontation. it isn't. if he had tried it against a country such as nazi germany or stalin's russia he would have either been charged with crimes aginst the state and shot or just disappeared.

Answer 8

Are you joking? It is so much braver to take the non-violent approach. It is easy to lose your cool and start fighting but to stand there and take it with only peace in your heart is amazing. More people should follow his example.

Answer 9

I don't think he's a coward. It's very hard to change how feel in their hearts. People think Dave Chapelle is racist but he's not and telling people that won't change how feel, right?

Answer 10

I don't. In fact, it took a LOT of courage to take all the abuse he did and then he still stuck to his beliefs. He changed an entire country and didn't blow up anyone.

He was successful, terrorists are not.
