century after the assassination of Gandhi and the XXI century in sight, is an appropriate time to highlight the relevance of Gandhi in the modern world.

There are people both within and outside India, who claim that Gandhi has lessons for the future. These people claim to belong solely to an earlier era and now irrelevant.

Some say that Gandhi operated under unique and favorable circumstances that no longer exist. Many argue that the English were all gentlemen who never did harm to the Indians, a view which can explain the viability of nonviolent action in India, ignoring the slaughter of Bagh in Amritsar Jallianwalla.

also commonly alleged that the achievements of Gandhi are primarily attributable to its status as "Mahatma." However, before 1920, when few or no one considered him a holy man, he led a nonviolent struggle. Their political influence in later years has clearly had other sources that are not only his personal qualities. It is often forgotten that Gandhi himself often rejected the title "Mahatma." Skip

that as much of Gandhi's political skills, rather than make thoughtful respect for her figure, because an excessive reverence. Focus on Gandhi as Mahatma "leads to rule their thinking and actions without serious reflection on them. By honoring Gandhi without listening deeply, we immunize against the possibility of taking into account seriously. Some people recognize

Gandhi as a mere eccentric ascetic, not significant after spending half a century. For some it is just a religious Asia with little real understanding of politics, and without any assessment of the need for military action in times of crisis. There are even those who accuse Gandhi of being responsiblefor several disasters, as if he were omnipotent.

I do not share the views of those critics who dismiss Gandhi as irrelevant to the modern world. At the same time, however, we must recognize that Gandhi was able to make mistakes, and also had limitations.

is important to highlight the ways in which thought and actions of Gandhi have lasting significance for individuals, groups and policies, not only in India but also in other parts of the world.

This paper is a brief review of how the teachings of Gandhi are applicable to the modern world. It begins with a review of some influences on the thinking and actions of Gandhi, from other parts of the world. Then proceeds to briefly review their conceptions of political power. The focus then shifts to the permanent contributions of thought and action of Gandhi for us today. Finally, explore areas of potential policy application of nonviolent struggle that may be relevant for the future.
