Mahatma Gandhi's path of Non-voilence. Will it be success in the present world?

Compleatly agree Mahatma was a great leader. Now a days we are having great need of this thinking. He gave a very powerful wapon called Non-Voilance. This gave us straingth to fight without wepons. And due to this we are here and ready to face any problem.

I do think that it is not a simple issue. It reminds me of a debate I once heard some people holding after the movie Ghandi was released in theaters in the 80's The question of what Ghandi did was awesome and yes it was the right thing to do, but would somethink like this work against someone like Hitler? I had thought about that for a while, and I realized there are men or women who seek violence. Who may only respond to violence. However I had thought about this for a while I knew someone who had been in WWII as an american soldier. He had spoken with a soldier, someone who was young, and idealistic when the war first started, this german soldier encountered a young jewish man, who didn't use violence, who didn't fight back, but faced with quiet dignity those who would search past where he stood in his door way, he held firmly to the door frame, never tried to fight, but also would not let them pass into his home, or meekly go with the soldiers who were trying to round him up. Later it was learned that this young man didn't believe in violence, took thou shalt not kill to mean something. The soldier couldn't hate jews instead of seeing them as abnormal or demonizing them, he saw strength, courage, dignity, and it stayed with him caused him to question. The german soldier was in a situation where he couldn't just leave the army, so instead he joined the resistance. So while there are those who will only understand violence for violence, the actions of peace can make a difference, can cause people to change their views, their ideas their way of thinking, and the directions their lives are going in. So would Ghandi's methods work in today's world? LOL I would say the answers is yes, and the answer is no, and the answers is maybe. But it has been centuries that people have gone to war over various issues, but when has it every really been the answer? It seems to me that the one who is the aggressor doesn't last or work, there will be those who will defend themselves from violence, but it seems that violence is destructive rather constructive.

Yes, non-violence is really great weapon. But in order to use it, first of all we need to trust the power of such weapon. We have to come together and then use this weapon effectively. I think, in order to make this weapon work effectively we need a great leader, motivator and a person who does believe in this weapon, and not ready to compromise with his principles.

Awareness, intelligence and understanding are key to the success of non-violence.
