Isn't it important, for the discussion here to make a distinction between Gandhi tha man and reading Gandhi? I think it is important. Because if we reduce Gandhi to the man, the scope of criticism would be very limited. I think both, 'Gandhi the man', and 'Gandhi as a period, a group of throughts, a way of life, philosophy etc needs to be discussed separately.* * I think that is the reason why Ranjith's criticism, and Jenny's to an extend seems very week to respond to Nizar's points on Gandhi. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
