Dear Mike
In those days nobody talked of green revolution. But Gandhi did more than
that. He was indeed a Barrister-at-Law and started his practice in South Africa.
But he became a different man. Now we're talking of organic food; in those
nobody talked about it. But it is organic food India has been proudcing for
centuries (not my discovery, it is what the experts here are saying). An
environmental issues; it was Gandhiji who started it (for example, sewage
disposal, cleanliness all around).
There are very few people who practise what they preach. For example, the
top Labour leaders in UK talk of imparting the best education in State-aided
institutions. However, they send their own sons and daughters to costly private
schools. Gandhiji did no such thing. He was regarded as a great thinker by
the great philosphers, contemporary as well as of all time to come.
I felt proud when in a little village in France I saw a group of people in
an interior market place with placards of Gandhiji's picture raised on placards:
it was a peace rally.
I can add more about Gandhi without being a Gandhian but I stop here.
