Mahatma Gandhi has experimented with Truth. His strong conviction in Truth as God and selfless work which he undertook to rescue India from the clutches of foreign mercenaries(East India Co.) and British rule are miracles of no small measure. He practiced non-violence in thoughts and action. He was beaten up, bruised, his head was broken by the batons of brutes is still history. He toiled all time for the welfare of Humanity be it in South Africa or in India raises him really to the worthy title of 'Mahatma'. Generations may come but nobody equal to the stature of Gandhi is ever born or will come in the future. He proved that Truth and non-violence as biggest weapons against the tyrant attitudes of the then British Empire.

His three major campaigns in 1920-22, 1930-34, and 1940-42 were well designed to engender that process of self-doubt and questioning that was to undermine the moral defences of his adversaries and to contribute, together with the objective realities of the postwar world, to producing the grant of dominion status in 1947. The British abdication in India was the first step in the liquidation of the British Empire on the continents of Asia and Africa. Gandhi's image as an archrebel died hard, but, as it had done to the memory of George Washington, Britain, in 1969, the centenary year of Gandhi's birth, erected a statue to his memory.

Gandhi's ideas on sex may sound quaint and unscientific. His marriage at the age of 13 seems to have complicated his attitude to sex and charged it with feelings of guilt, but it is important to remember that total sublimation, according to the best tradition of Hindu thought, is indispensable for those who seek self-realization, and brahmacarya was for Gandhi part of a larger discipline in food, sleep, thought, prayer, and daily activity designed to equip himself for service of the causes to which he was totally committed. What he failed to see was that his own unique experience was no guide for the common man.

I think one of his greatest achievements was that you can settle problems by honest negotiation and not by force. (Unlike some of our legislators today)
