     Gandhiji preached only what he was able to practice- teaching by example.


     Gandhiji did not approve of racial differences.
     Love for all- “VasudaiyaKutumbakam” was the motto- where love for humanilty
    was not restricted by narrow demarcations of race, gender, nation, state, class,
    caste etc.
     Gandhiji led a spirited revolution against the British with the underlying
    philosophy of “Nishkaam Karma”. He did not hate them rather he was against
    their policy of oppression of others.
     He advocated for the education being holistic- knowledge, right ethics, grounding
    in culture and heritage and right conduct.
     He denounced caste and believed that the economy be structured on the passage
    and practice of the professional knowledge passing from one generation to the
    other.
     He believed in the essential spirituality and morality of humans without
    prejudices.

     He envisioned a future where “men and women are noble, public-spirited,


    disciplined,always bound by the laws of Dharma, fully conscious of their social
    obligations, and who think not in terms of self-interest and self-aggrandizement,
    but of service to the community and its corporate life.”

     His notion of a perfect society was that of an environment where every person
    was free and could creatively express the self
