How is Gandhi remembered?

Answer 1

Gandhi can be remembered as a very opiniated person, who would never sacrifice his principles or beliefs for momentary gains. principles or beliefs,which were many times contrary to conventional norms. But the determination he had , made it possible for him to have his way and change the way people think and act in certain situations. Take for instance, the beleif of Non-violence, Gandhi believed through out his life that non-violence is always better than violence. So when the Non-cooperation movemnet which he initiated against the British in the early 1920s, turned violent from his side(his followers turned violent in Chora Chauri--a small city in united province of India), he with drew the movement. Even though most of his poitical collegues termed the decision foolish, as the movement was at its peak at that time, Gandhi declined to change his decision. So one can say that he chose his belief to the momentary gain. But his sticking to his principles, moved not only his colleagues but also the masses, who understood it very clearly that whatever be the condition, if they stray away from what Gandhi had told them to do, he will not support them.
