Satyagraha. Take the time needed to learn more about both Gandhi and the movement in India. History is filled with ironies. Gandhi was more successful in his early days in the areas of civil rights and labor laws. He did, within the context of the Indian Congress, help to initiate the campaign for independence. Yet while he would become loved as the conscience of his country, his political skills were not equal to Jawaharial Nehru. For obvious reasons, Gandhi was far more loved than Nehru .... especially by their enemies in the British government. (Ho Chi Minh once said if France had ruled India, Gandhi would have died young.) In fact, many of Gandhi's political opponents held him in greater affection than did some he was allied with politically.
