Gandhi promoted peace for using non-violence as a tactic against the British rule!. When the abuses of the English were reported to a waiting world and were resisted w/o violence, it encouraged empathy and understanding from the world!. Although an Hindi, he described himself as a follower of all religions!. He didn't say that Indians would not make mistakes in self-governing, they just wanted to govern themselves as a free and independent people!. He perhaps showed characteristics of Jesus by showing how each of us should treat our neighbors and expect to be treated by others as well!. He promoted peace by being peaceful!. If people do not fear you, then people can get along and life is better for all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

he lead a simple life and non violence movement and love all the people irrespective of religion and caste!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
