	Articles - Mahatma Gandhi
		Gandhi was a mediocre student in his youth at Porbandar and later Rajkot, and barely passed the matriculation exam for the University of Bombay in 1887, joining Samaldas College.
		Gandhi was also inspired by the American writer Henry David Thoreau's famous essay on "Civil Disobedience." Gandhi's years in South Africa were his formative years as a socio-political activist, when the concepts and techniques of civil disobedience and non-violent resistance were developed.
		Gandhi's philosophy and his ideas of satya and ahimsa were influenced by the Bhagavad Gita and Hindu beliefs, the Jain religion and the pacifist Christian teachings of Leo Tolstoy.

	International Vegetarian Union - Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)
		Gandhi stated in The Vegetarian (interview published June 20, 1891) that "I may be said to have known the L.V.S." from the International Vegetarian Congress, held in London, 11-13 September 1890.
		It is possible that he was co-opted onto the LVS Committee on Sept 19, but the LVS AGM was on January 9, 1891, and it is more likely that he was elected to the Committe on that date (precise details seem to have been lost).
		In February 1891 Gandhi started writing articles for The Vegetarian, a weekly newspaper published independently of LVS but in close connection with it (this is also more consistent with his having joined the Committee in January rather than the previous September).

	Mahatma Gandhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gandhi was a mediocre student in his youth at Porbandar and later Rajkot, barely passing the matriculation exam for the University of Bombay in 1887, and joining Samaldas College, Bhavnagar.
		Gandhi felt that one should be aware of worshiping the symbols and idols of the religion and not its teachings, such as worshipping the crucifix whilst ignoring its significance as a symbol for self-sacrifice, for example.
		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).

	TIME 100: Mohandas Gandhi
		Gandhi at home next to a spinning wheel, which looms in the foreground as a symbol of India's struggle for independence
		M.K. Gandhi, as the photograph itself demonstrates, was a passionate opponent of modernity and technology, preferring the pencil to the typewriter, the loincloth to the business suit, the plowed field to the belching manufactory.
		Ghanshyam Das Birla, one of the merchant princes who backed him, once said, "He was more modern than I. But he made a conscious decision to go back to the Middle Ages." This is not, presumably, the revolutionary new direction in thought that the good folks at Apple are seeking to encourage.

	An Idealist - Mohandas Gandhi (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gandhi's interests and talents lay in the area of personal diplomacy, or the skillful handling of people, and he instinctively sought to oppose the British Raj on humane, moral, even spiritual grounds.
		Gandhi believed that an entrenched political and economic system could only be revolutionized by spiritual ideas, and so, over a period of years, he developed and implemented his own NF style of civil disobedience, what he called "satyagraha," a nobly principled, highly disciplined, courageously ethical strategy of non-violent passive resistance.
		Gandhi's immediate objective was political freedom for India, and yet, for all his social activism, he never lost sight of a higher goal for himself and his people, the quest for divine truth and justice, for human dignity and integrity, for the true knowledge of God.
