Thank you Alex. Short and touching homage regarding a truthful non-violent protestor of the last century. Gandhi's book 'Hind Swaraj' gives some very interesting insights into the values and dedication of getting along ('Hindus and Moslems) and together 'Not Complying ' = uniting against the British for their Self-Rule (Swaraj) of their own country. I read it almost 40 years ago and I remember clearly his description of khadi cloth, which is hand-spun hand woven cloth, and how it actually is a more resilient and strong material than machine made thread and fabric. This he states actually causes friction and has less integrity than the khadi cloth. This is his great metaphor for this issues of the country that time. Themes of Division inside the country against a 'foreign power' seem relevant today.
