Violence and Nonviolence

The movie itself is nothing to blame, and it's definitely the kind of thing that people can remember years later.

But this kind of Gandhi is unacceptable to me. Of course, if Gandhi is not such a person, it is impossible to have such a high-ranking person. It can only be said that for the environment in India back then, a man like Gandhi was needed, so he appeared and succeeded. Then what, and then the question of India and Pakistan. Will the Gandhi at this time be the Gandhi who used to be on the same front as everyone?

I think of the British film "Bridge on the River Kwai", perhaps it is their British spirit that made Gandhi, and the British can get out of India thanks to Gandhi, in the wave of independence.

Although it is a bit comical for China to talk about martial arts, we have never given up violence and dignity. While watching the movie, I even thought of Lu Xun's memory of Liu and Zhenjun, and thought of dying in silence if they didn't break out in silence. Are they really wrong? No, just because they faced different enemies and different methods.

He said that many tyrants and murderers in history will eventually fail, so who can win from the end? At least he did not Gandhi.

    A question: Gandhi is on Zhihu, will he be described as a white leftist?

    Revolution is not about entertaining guests, not writing articles, not painting and embroidering, not so elegant, so calm, so gentle, so gentle and courteous. A revolution is an insurrection, a violent act of one class overthrowing another.

Gandhi quotes

  • Lord Irwin, Viceroy: Mr. Gandhi will find that it takes a great deal more than a pinch of salt to bring down the British Empire.

  • Edward R. Murrow: [at Gandhi's funeral] The object of this massive tribute died as he had always lived - a private man without wealth, without property, without official title or office. Mahatma Gandhi was not a commander of great armies nor ruler of vast lands. He could boast no scientific achievements or artistic gift. Yet men, governments and dignitaries from all over the world have joined hands today to pay homage to this little brown man in the loincloth who led his country to freedom. Pope Pius, the Archbishop of Canterbury, President Truman, Chiang Kai-shek, The Foreign Minister of Russia, the President of France... are among the millions here and abroad who have lamented his passing. In the words of General George C. Marshall, the American Secretary of State, "Mahatma Gandhi had become the spokesman for the conscience of mankind, a man who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires." And Albert Einstein added, "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."
