KEY POINTS
· Gandhi considered the problem of peace as an ethical. For him, the importance was to be on the side of the just.
· Many famous critics of Gandhi’s nonviolence have pointed their fingers at the impotence of Gandhian nonviolence against totalitarian regimes.
· While Hitler believed in eliminating morality from politics, for Gandhi, it was most important that the moral legitimacy of non-violence be a strategy of peacemaking.
· Gandhi remains an original thinker in the matter of peace building and also an astute peace builder.
· From Gandhi’s perspective, nonviolence is an ontological truth that follows from the unity and interdependence of humanity and life.
· While violence damages and undermines all forms of life, nonviolence uplifts all.
· Gandhi, therefore, advocated an awareness of the essential unity of humanity, and that awareness required a critical self-examination and a move from egocentricity towards a ‘shared humanity’.
· This ‘shared humanity’ cannot exist today if it is not aware of its own shortcomings.
· It needs to strive to remove its own imperfections, in order to be able to foster a pluralistic peace.
