The Maharaja of Mysore

Almost alone among humanity Almost alone among humanity, during a period when war and the havoc of war had benumbed the faculties of man in many ways, Mahatma Gandhi stood up as an apostle of peace and non-violent. The courage that enabled him to preach these doctrines firmly and unequivocally during that period is characteristic of the great sages and seers who, through the ages, have tried to redeem humanity and turn its ways to peace and brotherly love.
