Gandhi Must Stand. I am signing this counter-petition because Gandhi transformed and spoke well about blacks and all races. He is a great inspiration.

As members of the CPP, Gandhi played a role in inspiring Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in the utility of non-violence spirit of resistance in the struggle for Ghana's independence. Non-violence can bring peace and cooperation. Gandhi changed in his later life and subjected himself to self-critique He was not a racist..

The people of Odododiodio can learn from Gandhi's spirit of resistance. We live in abject poverty and we need to learn how can hold our leaders accountable without violence.

Gandhi was convinced that social systems essentially depends upon, and cannot rise beyond, the creative individuals who participate in them. Neither political associations nor social movements can be better in practice than their typical adherents, and systems which seek to elevate the general conditions of humanity can succeed only to the extent that their supporters meet ethical and intellectual requirements which nurture freedom of initiative and fearless self-criticism. Rejecting every form of exploitation and viewing all human beings as equally responsible for the welfare of all. M. K. Gandhi: Ed. R. N. Iyer 1991 The Essential writings of Mahatma Gandhi; Manzar Khan, Oxford University Press. Vol 1. p.9

"Ahimsa" in the widest sense, means a willingness to treat all beings as one self. Ghandhi was noted for his advocacy of ahimsa in social and political arenas, its most fundamental and intimate use lay for him in the moral persuasion of free souls. M.K. Ghandhi, On Ahimsa, Modern Review, October 1916; in Raghavan Iyer, ed., The Moral and Political Writings of Mahatma Gandhi (hereafter MPWNG), Vol. 3 Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1986-7, Vol.2, p.212.

Gandhi's concept of satya, with ahimsa as a means, gave rise to his complex doctrine of satyagraha a means to the development of sarvodaya M.K. Ghandhi, Our Helplessness; Young India, 21 March 1929; MPWMG, Vol. 3, p. 228 Sarvodaya ( Universal Welfare) Satyagraha (Non-Violent resistance)
