Ghandi´s first interview


Uno de los acontecimientos más importantes de todos los tiempos fue el de la lucha de Mahatma Gandhi por la independencia de India del Imperio Británico. Gandhi mostró al mundo que la palabra puede ser tan fuerte como la bayoneta.
En esta entrevista, de 1931, Gandhi acababa de salir de prisión, por oponerse al impuesto a la sal, y charlaba con el periodista de Movietone. En vocabulario: carved out. Para saber: political ethicist

… civil disobedience and all other phases of Satyagraha are always at our disposal but whether we shall resort to these weapons immediately or what other steps we shall take I cannot tell at present…
… I should very much like to abolish child marriages…
… I shall certainly not be found in European dress…

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869 –1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule, and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.
