Is Ana Julia Alvarez an artist from El Salvador?
Do you agree that Gandhi would have been a failure in Gautemala or El Salvador?
Perhaps it would be true.
Gandhi was not a successful politician though he sacrificed a lot and was named as Mahatma. He failed as a lawyer, as a father and as a firm preceptor or prosecutor of his ideas. Whatever he declared as his political manifestos like Undivided India, Dissolution of All India National Congress, Declaration of One National Language(Hindi), Banning Cow Slaughter, Harijan or Rural Upliftment could be implemented ; the philosophy of Ahinsa (Nonviolence) he borrowed from Buddhism and Untouchability, Truth-fullness from Arya Samaj. Being amongst the politically ambitious leaders of that age, he was acknowledged a leader because of his simple personality projected by Jawahar Lal Nehru and other political important leaders of the period. Leaders like Subhash Chander Bose or Vallabh Bhai Patel could never get his favour. He was fortunate to be a leader at that political scene which later got him the title of Father of the Nation.
As such he would have been a failure for Guatemala or El Salvador like countries and the situations there.
