Nelson Mandela himself wrote an article for TIME magazine on January 3rd 2000 called The Sacred Warrior, about how Gandhi had influenced him. Some of what he wrote was that he dared to exhort nonviolence in a time where the violence at Hiroshima and Nagasaki had overwhelmed us. He exhorted morality when science, technology and the capitalist order had made it redundant.

∙ 13y agoBarack Obama, Democratic front-runner for the US Presidential nomination, sees MahatmaGandhi as an inspiration and has a portrait of the apostle of peace in his office to remind him that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
"In my life, I have always looked to Mahatma Gandhi as an inspiration, because he embodies the kind of transformational change that can be made when ordinary people come together to do extraordinary things," he wrote in a yet to be published article in the ethnic India Abroad newspaper.
"That is why his portrait hangs in my Senate office; to remind me that real results will not just come from Washington, they will come from the people," he said in the article, excerpts of which were provided in a write-up on Friday.
That is why, he said, "I am proud to have the longstanding support of so many Indian Americans in all aspects of my campaign (for party nomination for the post of the President), as well as the endorsements of leading elected Indian American lawmakers."
