Gandi was an inspiration to millions.An English-educated lawyer, Gandhi first employed his ideas of peaceful civil disobedience in the Indian community's struggle for civil rights in South Africa.Gandhi pioneered an all-India campaign for the alleviation of the poor, the liberation of Indian women, brotherhood amongst different religious and ethnic communities, an end to untouchability and caste discrimination, and for the economic self-sufficiency of the nation. But above all, Gandhi led the fight for Swaraj — the independence of India from foreign dominationGandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in extreme situations, 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 A genius--a peacemaker.

I think I agree with after9miles - but Im not sure about the seeds he planted when he was nude - I was always under the impression that those seeds went to producing rather a lot of Gandi's. Of course I'm only trying to help.

Trouble maker I guess. He was the first one who preached that British were misusing Indians and Asians while they were not. And by not wearing anything, he planted the first seeds of nudism! He is to be blamed for the rise of magazines like Playboy etc.

Thats an interesting question; i dont feel the two are mutually exclusive. For example, Galileo, da Vinci,etc
