After Gandhi-Ji's death the first prime minister of India Jawahar Lal Nehru spoke to the entire nations through All India Radio after this in humane act of violence and in his speech he said:

Regardless of what had happened to Gandhi. Gandhi taught us to be strong, truthful and humane people. He once said

"Strength does not come from winning it. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength"

Gandhi may have struggled in his life but all of that did NOT go in vain. He wanted friendship amongst all the religions and even today his teachings are there as a guidance for peace and harmony in the world.

Here at India-Forums we salute him and his teachings.
