Mahatma Gandhi was a silent hero of his generation never outsourced ethics. He dreamt it ; lived it . Gandhi taught us to invent our own ethical world. Gandhi was perpetually for experiments. Walking, fasting, weaving, printing, cooking, protesting were all his experiments. Gandhi's ethics doesn't appeal to the new generation. I feel Gandhian ideals are increasingly irrelevant in the present world. Despite Gandhi being deified by politicians unerringly on the days of his birth and martyrdom, the true spirit of Gandhian ideology is seldom remembered by people.
I concede that Gandhi's leadership did appeal to the ethics of his generation. Without Gandhi, India perhaps would have been free earlier than 1947. But, it was Gandhi's legacy which has helped us to become a more liberal, democratic nation.
