Who is talking?

What is "swarhj"

Ok all that aside, i like this 100x more than N. Gandhi seems to have emotion! He's not a german robot. One of the coolest things i thought Gandhi talked about was railroads. "It was after the advent of railways that we began to believe in distinctions" and that through railways "we are beginning to abolish those distinctions" It's a very unique idea that Gandhi proposes. I'm not a big U.S. history buff, but i wonder if the same was true for the U.S. during the advent of the railroad and the establishment of air travel.

I also liked his long discussion on Religion. My favorite quote had to be "If everyone will try and understand the Core of his own religion and adhere to it...there will be no room for quarreling" There is a whole ton of wisdom packed in there, mostly established on self discipline, understanding, and wisdom (all things religion promotes). I have big problems with religious hypocrisy (even though i commit it myself making me an even bigger hypocrite) so it was nice to see this and definitely something i'll try and adopt to my own life.
