Mahatma Gandhi


Listen Later

This episode takes me far east into the continent of Asia & its personality-based. Groups & People have often from time immemorial felt oppressed in some sort of way & consequentially have come up with ways to overcome such oppression to basically press home their demands. This is about a man who was a staunch advocate of the non-violent mode of resistance & he inspired movements for civil rights & freedom across the world. A Hindu by birth & called to bar at the age of 22 in June 1891. South Africans would also feel a sense of belonging here, because during the course of his life, the rainbow nation was his home for 21 years. Matter of fact, it was here he first employed that non-violent mode of resistance. Ever heard the name Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi? Well, Mahatma Gandhi? That's him. This episode is very educative & equally inspiring. Enjoy listening to every bit of it (and yeah do share as well!😁)
