He was evaluated by the great scientist Albert Einstein as the most brilliant of all the politicians in the world, he was the great leader of the Indian national liberation movement, and he was one of the figures in India that everyone knew, he was Gandhi. His life is legendary, his ideas led India to independence, and today we will enjoy Gandhi's ten aphorisms and experience the strong philosophy behind the words.
Gandhi worked hard all his life to lead the Indian people to independence. His influence was too great, not only in India, but also internationally respected, as can be illustrated by the following example. At the 61st session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Conference decided to designate 2 October as the International Day of Non-Violence, which coincided with Gandhi's birthday. It is recorded that Gandhi led three "non-violent non-cooperation" movements for India's independence, and had 17 hunger strikes, 18 prisons, and 5 assassinations.
Such a great achievement is closely related to Gandhi's origin and experience. He was born during British colonial rule in India into a loving family. When he was less than 20 years old, Gandhi left his hometown to study law in England. Because of his origins, Gandhi was discriminated against, and his career was repeatedly hit upon his return. After repeated failures, Gandhi gradually formed his own worldview and outlook on life, and because he saw the arduous struggle of the people in South Africa, he began to gradually develop a sense of human equality.
Later, Gandhi lobbied throughout India, participated in various speeches, propagated his own ideas, preached egalitarianism, and promoted the anti-imperialist struggle of the whole people. Later, after experiencing World War II, he struggled to maintain India's unity and promote India's independence. But he was assassinated at the age of 79 because he was assassinated by opponents. Throughout his life, Gandhi made great contributions to India's independence, freedom and nation, deeply influencing Indian history and being regarded as a saint and hero. In the 1999 list of 20th-century people selected by Time magazine in the United States, Gandhi ranked third after Einstein and Roosevelt.
Gandhi's influence also included other aspects: in terms of philosophical thought, Gandhi advocated peace; in the political aspect, he advocated non-violent revolution, which dealt a bitter blow to British colonial rule, increased the self-esteem and self-confidence of the Indian people, and finally achieved India's autonomy and independence; in the economic aspect, he advocated hand weaving and resistance to Western material civilization; in terms of social thought, he vigorously built a peaceful and harmonious society.
The achievements are remarkable, Gandhi is worldwide, and it deserves to be called great. In his body, he can let future generations see the spirit. The greatness of reason can also see the greatness of benevolence and the greatness of the heart, and this greatness is the highest state. His ideas are not only the great wealth of the Indian people, but also the precious spiritual wealth of the people of the world.
Although his thinking has great limitations in the process of human development, it cannot hide the greatness of his achievements. Overall, History has a very high evaluation of Gandhi, a revolutionary during the liberation of India, a pioneer of the national independence movement, and known as the "Father of the Nation". His non-violent non-cooperation movement awakened Asia, created a special path against colonial rule, and made great contributions to the liberation of Asia.
