MediaDB / «Great Gandhi. Righteous to Power" Alexander Vladimirsky: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2013 / Winston Churchill arrogantly called Gandhi a “half-naked fakir,” but billions of people around the world call him Mahatma, which translates as “THE GREAT SOUL.” He did not hold any government positions, did not accept honors or gifts, but was a true GENIUS OF POWER, proving by his own example that righteous power based on moral authority is superior to the power of force and the tyranny of evil. He said: “Victory achieved by violence is tantamount to defeat, because it is short-lived”; “I recognize only one tyrant, and that is the quiet voice of conscience”; “At first they don’t notice you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you. And then you win." Denying not only violence, but also powerlessness, Gandhi won freedom for his native India peacefully - but could not prevent the terrible bloodshed between Hindus and Muslims that broke out after the victory and claimed millions of lives. And he himself was killed by a fanatic just five months after gaining independence, remaining in the people’s memory as a saint, prophet, “father of the nation.” This book is the best domestic biography of the RIGHTEOUS MAN OF AUTHORITY, who is deservedly called the MAN OF THE MILLENNIUM.
