In your opinion, do you think Gandhi has failed in his life’s work which is to promote nonviolence reuniting the people of India?

In my opinion, I think Gandhi has not failed in his life’s work which is to promote nonviolence reuniting the people of India. He used nonviolence ways in order to get India become independence country. For example in the movie ‘Gandhi’, although he had been beaten by the British for not to burn the passes, he still doing it until he can. He also the one who persuade the citizen in the country that they have to monopoly the salt at the beach and can get it free rather than they need to buy the exported salt from British. He always reminded his people for not using violence in order to get the independence because he wanted British itself to give the independence. Although he had been a prisoner for a few times, he still has the courage to fight for the independence. He had fight for independence until his last breath.

Do you think Gandhi is responsible for the tragic end of his oldest son, Harilal?

In my opinion, I think that Gandhi is not the one who responsible for the tragic end of his oldest son, Harilal. I said so because everything was started from Harilal himself. First, about his marriage with Gulab. Actually Gandhi was not agree when Harilal said that he wanted to marry early.  He thought that Harilal could be his assistant at Ashram but after been persuaded by his wife, then, he gave his permission to Harilal. After that, Harilal family became larger as they got 4 children. Then, Gulab died after his daughter, Shanti died because of cholera. He became suffer in his life when he cannot accept the truth about the death of his wife. Second, the tragic moment in Harilal’s life happened when Harilal didn’t got the job that he wanted the most which was he wanted to become like his father, a barrister. He thought that his father was the one that could be blamed about his education.
