The equality of religions - Gandhi

Today I'm going to talk about religion and what makes you feel when we speak about the equality between women and men.
I have chosen the figure of Gandhi to talk about religion, because he's one of the most important celebrities that propage the equality of religion in the history.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi - Biography


(1869-1948) Gandhi is commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi and in India also as Bapu.
He was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights and freedom across the world.
He's also known in India as the Father of the Nation, It means, an honorific title given to a man considered the driving force behind the establishment of their country, state or nation. In his birthday is commemorated the International Day of Non-Violence

Gandhi stated that "belief in one God is the cornerstone of all religions''.

Futhermore, Gandhi felt that all human beings are imperfect. We cannot know the Truth fully. But we can strive to reach the Truth. All religions are efforts in this direction. They are different revelations of the same Truth. But they are conditioned by their times. Moreover, they are expressed through men, who are imperfect.
Gandhi dedicated his life to the wider purpose of discovering truth. He tried to achieve this by learning from his own mistakes and conducting experiments on himself. He called his autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth.

Gandhi wrote: ''There must be no impatience, no barbarity, no insolence, no undue pressure. If we want to cultivate a true spirit of democracy, we cannot afford to be intolerant. Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause."
