Step by step, Gandhi reached at the pinnacle of existence, where no one has reached before. Gandhi motivated millions of people during his life time, continues to inspiring people around the globe. Gandhi changed the course of history and created history. He was a man of principles, great convictions and always practiced what he preached. There was no dichotomy between theory and practice and between public and private life. He left an everlasting impact on the world at large because he always spoke and understood the language of the masses, socially deprived and downtrodden. Present world is passing through a critical phase of human history and is in search of an alternative.
He was at once saint and revolutionary, politicians and social reformer, economist and man of religion, educationist and satygrahi; devotee alike of faith and reason, Hindu and inter-religious, nationalist and internationalist, man of action and dreamer of dreams. He was a great reconciler of opposites and he was that without strain or artificiality. His usefulness will not end unless conflict ceases, radical discrimination ends, women are empowered and poor live with dignity.
