Gandhi’s Significance in World History “What we have under Gandhi’s leadership is a revolution…but a revolution different from any other that history has knowledge. Gandhi is a citadel of modern power”. John Haynes Holmes, Pastor of the Community Church of NY City, Sermon in the lyric theater of New York City in 1921 on “Who is the greatest man in the world today”. “To know Gandhi is tantamount to knowing Christ”

Gandhi’s Significance in World History “Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity. In a real sense, Mahatma Gandhi embodied in his life certain universal principles that are inherent in the moral structure of the universe, and these principles are as inescapable as the law of gravitation”. Martin Luther King in a radio address during his final evening in India, 1959.

From where I stood I heard the sickening whacks of the clubs on unprotected skulls. Those struck down fell sprawling, unconscious or writhing in pain with fractured skulls or broken shoulders. In two or three minutes the ground was quilted with bodies. Great patches of blood widened on their white clothes. The survivors without breaking ranks silently and doggedly marched on until struck down” American Correspondent Webb Miller
