The starting point of Gandhi's idea of equality is religion: both Hindus and Christians are the people of God. His political ideas were too advanced. He believed that ethnic and religious differences should be abandoned and a unified country should be established. Initially he fought for rights under British law, then he fought for independence for India. His philosophy of non-violence and non-cooperation comes from the New Testament: when the enemy hits you on the right cheek, let him hit you on the left. Doing so can arouse people's nature, reduce the hatred of the other party, and enable the other party to have a heart of respect.
There's a lot of great remarks in the movie, like: When you're washing the toilet, it's more important than the law to wash the toilet.
Gina and Nehru are also depicted in the film.
Gandhi's non-violent non-cooperation originated in South Africa, and in India, he is best known for his spinning wheel movement, salt campaign and hunger strike to stop strife.
Non-violence and non-cooperation, what to do when encountering people like Hitler? In the film, the British reporter asked Gandhi. Gandhi replied: People cannot accept injustice, whether the opponent is Hitler or anyone, we must try to make people see this injustice and be willing to die.
The reason why Mahatma Gandhi is respected as the founding father of India lies in his almost perfect personality. He did not establish an army or party, nor did he hold any official or half-office. Only through his speech, travel and daily life, he profoundly influenced the trend of history and the thoughts of countless people.
