Learning at Stations: Gandhi II

Watch the clip (Gandhi II) and briefly say what is parodied here.

- Gandhi’s non-violent resistance; here he’s shown as a criminal

- lives a luxury life (materialism); eats a steak(‘the holy cow’ -> normally he’s a vegetarian and lives an ascetic life)

In the documentary “In Search of Gandhi” one of the interviewed states that today Gandhi would grab a gun. Explain why he thinks so and comment on whether you think he is right.

The interviewed says that today Gandhi would grab a gun. So I guess he means that nowadays everybody would use weapons to win a fight or war. Nobody would even try to practice non-violent resistance because it seems nearly impossible to win without violence.
However, I don’t think that today Gandhi would grab a gun, because he was committed to his ideas of passive resistance and always tried to dispose them to revise their opinion about violence. Therefore today he would support his philosophy as well.
