Mannu,
I admire your willingness to take such a controversial position.
But I have to disagree with you about Gandhi.
He encouraged the Indians to make their own clothes in response to oppression from the British.
At the time that he proposed this method, it was to protest the overtaxation by the British.
It did indeed have the effect he intended; the double effect of saving poor people money,
and delivering an ecomonic blow to the government that sought to exploit the Indian people.
The movement he pioneered and spearheaded led to Indian independence from British colonization.
He was truly a Mahatma, a Great Soul.
I dont think you will feel any better about yourself
by looking for reasons to put-down a man like Gandhi.
If you are reading Nietzsche, please, be careful.
You would not be the first or the last to slide into a moral abyss.
Nietzsche was a great artist and thinker, and he has his place.
He took positions which were not necessarily his own,
because his mission was to counter-balance an atmosphere of sterility.
He claimed that he was actually serving morality by opposing it;
that he was exercising the muscles of a complacent morality,
by providing it with tests to oppose and overcome.
It is said, "Every artist needs a nemesis."
So, Nietzsche made himself the nemesis of morality.
But even this was a justification on his part,
to excuse the pathology that he suffered from,
and to find a positive element in his own sickness.
He did not have the will or the inclination to be humble,
so he discovered a kind of virtue in arrogance.
Although his ideas did help to prune and curb the excesses
of a blindly submissive humility, they were excesses themselves.
He is a truly compelling thinker and personality,
and it is easy enough to fall under his sway, if you are not careful.
He has a power to inspire and infuse us with enthusiasm,
and a will to break free from the grip of stagnation.
But he does not have the quiet, mature virtue of persistence.
And he had far more passion inside him than compassion.
Please, dont forget your heart.
