Mahatma Gandhi was a silent hero of his generation who 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 don't appeal to the new generation. I feel Gandhian ideals are becoming 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 would have been an independent nation perhaps earlier than 1947. But, it was Gandhi's legacy which has helped us to become a more liberal and democratic nation.
