Gandhi’s legacy lives on



A beautiful FDC from Poland 🇵🇱 

It’s 150th birth anniversary of the Mahatma ( Great soul ) and the world still celebrates him - one of the greatest man to walk this earth in flesh and blood. 

He lived in troubled times and in a troubled country - and still stood for Truth and Non Violence. He was not a coward who hid behind the curtains of Non Violence. His form of Ahimsa - non violence was an active one - where he led the country in protests and civil disobedience - ways of  attack that the war mongering nations had no clue how to retaliate back ! And ultimately India won its independence from four centuries of colonial rule by non violence. 

Gandhiji’s principles have been followed throughout the world since then - and there have been many leaders who have been inspired by him ! 

Though I have another post where I record all the covers with Gandhi stamps that I receive , this cover deserves special mention since the sender and I share similar thoughts on current world politics and the principles of non violence .. and I know that he is as excited about a Polish stamp on Gandhi , as I am ! 



Thanks Wojtek for this superb cover ! May the world always be at peace :)
