  16. Mohandas Gandhi • 1869 –1948 CE • Political and ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement • Inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world • Gandhi swore to speak the truth and advocated that others do the same. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven from yarn that he had spun by hand himself. • He ate simple vegetarian food, experimented for a time with a fruitarian diet, and undertook long fasts as a means of both self-purification and social protest.

  17. Mohandas Gandhi • "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.“ • "There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for.“ • In accordance with these views, in 1940, when invasion of the British Isles by Nazi Germany looked imminent, Gandhi offered the following advice to the British people. "I would like you to lay down the arms you have as being useless for saving you or humanity. You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of the countries you call your possessions...If these gentlemen choose to occupy your homes, you will vacate them. If they do not give you free passage out, you will allow yourselves, man, woman, and child, to be slaughtered, but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them.“ • In a post-war interview in 1946, he offered a view at an even further extreme: "Hitler," Gandhi said, "killed five million Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs... It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany... As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions."

  18. Closure • Please write a short paragraph explaining how you strongly agree, agree,disagree or strongly disagree with the idea of the caste system.
