#GandhiJayanti | Why do we continue to read #MahatmaGandhi and admire him? Not because he is the Father of the Nation, but because he does not fit into any hard and fast category and continues to disturb us. | @RJahanbegloo writes. trib.al/ZtqN4L0
#GandhiJayanti | In this blighted time of hate, it is worth asking: what would #MahatmaGandhi, the brilliant organiser of salt marches and instant hartals, have done? Would he have written a tweet, and created a meme? | @NeetiNair writes. trib.al/GCsMRKm

#GandhiJayanti | If #MahatmaGandhi’s writings matter to us today, the writer in him should matter more, especially for humanist scholars. He was one of the most prolific writers of all time. But what did writing mean to him? | N.S. Gundur writes. trib.al/mC2lZtZ
#GandhiJayanti | #MahatmaGandhi’s silence on the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suggests how he transformed a tragedy into spiritual action. | Rajeev Kadambi writes. trib.al/U5V6Hq0
#GandhiJayanti | #Replug | #MahatmaGandhi was a thinker with a profoundly ecological sensibility, though his writings and speeches do not mention the subject as it is spoken about today. | Vinay Lal writes. trib.al/n2ICT15
