Gandhi being against industrialization and modernization is new to me.
Then maybe you should learn more about Gandhi before speaking. He opposed textile mills, mass manufacturing industries simply because they were British influences and ignored their benefits to India. You can see this opinion in a lot of his speeches and essays.

Gandhi was a man of non violence and peace. He even liked western philosophy. This is what I read. This is what I know.
And no one is denying that. But a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. There is a lot more to Gandhi, both good and bad. You cannot simply rely on the media fed image that has been imprinted in you. You need to open up to other ways how his own countrymen perceive him

return to hades, missionaries have saved many around the world with the
message of Christ. This is a popular saying and belief in Christians.
How did I sound racist? What do you mean by racist, can you define
racist?
Christ is the savior, the Son of God, the savior of the
world. Poland survives for Him, USA survives for Him, India too. What is wrong in this word? How it makes me racist? Christ belong to India as
much as any country. Why other races are so quick to label white people
as racist?
We here in the subcontinent are people of all religions. We are Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, atheists and yes even Christians. To have the audacity to impose your religious faith on this diverse group of people is nothing short of arrogant, ignorant and dismissive of their widespread beliefs and culture. If you cannot see the racism in that, no one can help you.
And no we are not labeling white people as racist. Don't lump yourself with all the good ones out there. We are talking to "YOU" and "YOUR" statements. You could be white, black, Indian, Asian for all I care. These words will still be racist. Shows your mentality when you make this issue into an other people vs. white people issue.

Missionaries never ever killed anyone, they only preached love and saved the world including India. Christ IS the Savior! Where is doubt. Please dont make this thread on religion. It is not meant so. Why
someone mentioned missionary killing natives! Why mention missionaries?
If you do then any Catholic must MUST defend! I am appalled I am called racist for this. It is insane π. This thread cannot be to insult, it was for peaceful man. Intolerance
is shown by me? Well, I think I can see many lashing out elsewhere.
What can be said! Fine.
What sort of lala land are you living in? Are you seriously ignorant of the fact that many missionaries did kill people and forced people into conversion through blackmail and violence? Damn! Even the most extreme hard core evangelicals from the Bible belt don't have such ignorance. No wonder!!!
