Ghandi has infused into this "corpse" a new life, a now hope. It no longer "stinks," it is vibrant with a fresh vigor. Tagore ascribes the present now life in India largely to the dynamic influence of Ghandi. Nor can Ghandism be justly accused for the neglect of the genuine interests of the "proletariat." True, his following is drawn from all ranks of people, and there lies the strength of his movement...
