Gandhiji's India has changed a lot. For the current generation, values like truth and courage are least followed while keeping up with the pace in this globalised world. Though we pretend to live an "Urban" life, the economic developments and benefits are confined mostly to the urban societies. While the rural still fights poverty, rampant greed and widespread violence have already affected normal living in this modern India.
I thought, it's worthwhile to revisit the ideals, values and virtues of Gandhiji, which might have been very well forgotten and considered irrelevant.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
