Noble personality, rational charisma

"The tyrant in history may be invincible in the short term, but he will eventually fail. Think about it, it will always be like this." "I believe that when we need it most, he leads us away from madness. But he himself does not Know, the world does not know." The power of ideas is vividly reflected in this film. A British officer can order unarmed rallies of civilians, women and children, to shoot down in order to suppress what he considers untouchables. Muslims and Hindus will kill each other because of the fear of survival brought about by the difference of beliefs. The accumulation of hatred makes the killing spread endlessly. A father smashes the head of his teaching child against the wall for the death of his child. Holy Male Gandhi died at the gun of his most cherished people. The lethality of prejudice and belief differences is so terrifying. The greatness of Mahatma Gandhi, in my opinion, lies in his insight into faith. "A true believer will understand that the suffering of others is like his own. Respect all people and despise no one." It lies in the firmness of his words and deeds, and his charisma of tolerance and forgiveness. This charisma once allowed the notion of "non-violence, non-cooperation" to gain independence for India. But the humanitarian spirit in it is obviously not deeply conveyed. However, the frenzy persists and spreads sadly. Mahatma Gandhi's cognition is obviously closely related to his personal experience and his character, and cannot be empathized with by most people. His reason and forgiveness made the unique divine charm of that era, but it was sadly difficult to resolve people's fanatical emotions. The idea of ​​liberty and equality seems to me to go hand in hand with the will to the pursuit of peace. Violence will only cause hatred to perpetuate potential or even superficial disorder. This is the manifestation of evil in human nature. Out of self-interest, the most brutal and simple way is used to obtain the coercion of the freedom of others. Therefore, only by thoroughly making the concepts of freedom and equality deeply rooted in the hearts of the people can the tragedy caused by fanaticism not be repeated, no matter what kind of religious war or genocide will happen. However, there is still a long way to go to keep people away from madness. Hannah Arendt pondered the evil of banality, and Mahatma Gandhi showed us the glorious charm of forgiveness and tolerance.

    Nonviolent non-cooperation movement. . . . Gandhi can only succeed in India, and he was pressed into the mud long ago in TG. . . When Ben Kingsley was young, he really looked like India's Assam. . .

    No man‘s life can be encompassed in one telling.There is no way to give each year its allotted weight,to include each event,each person who helped to shape a lifetime.What can be done is to be faithful in spirit to the record and try to find one's way to the heart of the man...

Gandhi quotes

  • Conductor: [stopping Gandhi on the train in South Africa] What are you doing in here, coolie?

    Gandhi: I reserved this car. I have a ticket.

    Conductor: How did you get hold of it?

    Gandhi: I sent for it by post. I am an attorney.

    European Passenger: An attorney! There are no colored attorneys in South Africa - move your black ass into third class where it belongs!

    Porter: I'll take your luggage, sir...

    Gandhi: No, wait.

    [he takes out his card and shows it]

    Gandhi: You see? 'Mohandas K. Gandhi, Attorney at Law.' I am on my way to Pretoria to conduct a case...

    European Passenger: Didn't you hear me? There are no colored attorneys in South Africa!

    Gandhi: Sir, I was called to the bar in London, and enrolled in the High Court of Chancery. I am therefore an attorney. And since I am, in your eyes, 'colored,' I think we can deduce that there is at least one colored attorney in South Africa.

  • Kasturba Gandhi: Sora was sent to tell me I must rake and cover the latrine.

    Gandhi: Everyone takes his turn.

    Kasturba Gandhi: It is the work of untouchables!

    Kasturba Gandhi: I am your wife!

    Gandhi: [coldly] All the more reason.
