 Mahatma Gandhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gandhi pushed through a resolution at the Calcutta Congress in December 1928 calling on the British government to grant India dominion status or face a new campaign of non-violence with complete independence for the country as its goal.
Gandhi found that uncovering the truth was not always popular as many people were resistant to change, preferring instead to maintain the existing status quo because of either inertia, self-interest or misguided beliefs.
Gandhi maintained this was because of the sin committed by upper caste Hindus by not letting untouchables in their temples (Gandhi was committed to the cause of improving the fate of untouchables, referring to them as Harijans, people of Krishna).

 Tributes to Gandhi
The admiration for Mahatma Gandhi in all countries of the world rests on recognition, mostly sub-conscious, recognition of the fact that in our time of utter moral decadence, he was the only statesman to stand for a higher level of human relationship in political sphere.
There is no doubt Gandhi had great spiritual qualities and the one only hope, even though he is not with his people, is that his influence had much of value to give to the rest of the world and one hopes the very violence of his death will turn people away from violence.
“Gandhi's way of thinking can lead directly into the political structure of the future world, in which a nation might be much better protected by not possessing atomic weapons than by having them, or might pursue its own interests much more efficiently by participating in the interests of other nations than by ignoring them.

 CC October 2000
In the hand—written script that was available to me, in three of the scenes, Mahatma Gandhi is seen in only one, while in the remaining two, Gandhi’s fourth and youngest son, Devdas Gandhi and Nathuram, the hero of the play, are in conversation.
A scene that shows Devdas Gandhi on the night 30th January, shaking hands with his father’s assassin, Nathuram, is more suited to a melodrama in masala commercial Hindi film.
In such a situation, all Devdas Gandhi could have done was to appeal to governor—general Rajgopalachari on behalf of Nathuram to ask for a pardon and stop the hanging.
