Indian Hero 1 - The magazine describes Mahatma Gandhi as the extraordinary leader of the world's first successful non-violent movement for independence from colonial rule. “Gandhi's unique method of resistance through civil disobedience, allied to talent for organisation, gave the Indian nationalist movement both a saint and a strategist,' the magazine says in a write up on the leader. It says, “Gandhi was idealistic, quirky, quixotic and determined, a cross between a saint and a ward politician; like the best crossbreeds, he managed to distil the qualities of both and yet transcend their contradictions.”
