What they say of him ..

His magnificent example of personal sacrifice and dedication in the face of oppression was one of his many legacies to our country and to the world. He showed us that it was necessary to brave imprisonment if truth and justice were to triumph over evil.
–Nelson Mandela

He was the only ray of light to help us through these darkest days.
-Khan Abdul Gafar Khan

Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.
-Albert Einstein

“Gandhi resisted evil with as much vigor and power as the violent resister, but he resisted with love instead of hate. True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to evil power. It is rather a courageous confrontation of evil by the power of love.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“He was right, he knew he was right, we all knew he was right. The man who killed him knew he was right. However long the follies of the violent continue, they but prove that Gandhi was right. 'Resist to the very end', he said, 'but without violence'. Of violence the world is sick. Oh, India, dare to be worthy of your Gandhi.”
-Pearl S. Buck
