THE COMPLETE BLOG ON MAHATMA GANDHI

By Krishna Mallick The purpose of this paper is to make the point that nonviolence is well alive in this violent world. It is being followed in the different parts of the world. I intend to show how the situation of the three countries - the United States, South Africa, and Myanmar - is different by giving the timelines of each of these cases, yet each of them has used the nonviolent method to resolve the injustices that went on, in the case of U.S. with regard to the treatment of blacks, in South Africa with regard to Apartheid which discriminated against the black majorities, and is going on in the Myanmar (previously called Burma) struggle for democracy in spite of NLD's (National League For Democracy) victory in the 1990 election.

I stress, here, that I am speaking of Muslim human beings, not Islam. I am also speaking of all people who have fallen victim to terrorism everywhere in the world, whether in Islamic or non-Islamic countries. So if I bring up the London underground bombings, for example, that is not to attribute any greater value to that tragedy than those that struck Sharm El-Sheikh, Riyadh, Bali, Casablanca, Baghdad or anywhere else that has experienced mass murder and ritual executions perpetrated in the name of Islam.
