The vision of freedom he envisaged, has inspired the world’s masses to rise up aganist any attempts by ‘authorities’ to curtail people’s free will. From Nelson Mandela to Martin Luther King, he has taught the world’s greatest leaders to give change a chance, and demonstrate the infinitesimal strength of non-violence to upturn injustice.
