IF YOU ARE A VISITOR, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THIS ESSAY, IT IS NOT FINISHED

Gandhigiri is an informal word used to describe the fundamental values and morals of Mahatma Gandhi.

Background
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is known for using ahinsa (non-violence) to expose the immorality of the treatment of Indians by British imperialists during the British Raj. He proposed that an Indian should allow himself to be beaten or even killed but should never fight back and sink to the level of their enemy, this makes the enemy's respect for you increase. Some Gandhi quotes are below:

"For this cause I too am prepared to die, but for no cause, my friend, will I be prepared to kill."

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

"Truth alone will endure; all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time."

"There is no way to peace; peace is the way."
