5 Takeaways:

  1. Testing ideas: South Africa becomes pretty much like a prototype or smaller playground for Gandihji.
  2. Leader looking for scale: He didn’t let his impact be limited to the 150k Indian diaspora but looked at larger impact in the scale of 300 million Indians who needed the same.
  3. Navigational principles: Gandhiji’s navigational principles continued to be Hindu-muslim harmony and non-violence; economic and moral self-reliance for Indians
  4. Incremental Reformer/Leader.
  5. Engagement with people: Conversations as a creative process that shaped his belief from time to time.
