Arun Ghandi
Lessons Learned from My Grandfather: Non-Violence in a Violent World
Few names in world history evoke such powerful images of integrity, courage, social harmony, and hope as does the name Gandhi.
Arun Gandhi was born in apartheid-era South Africa, when at the age of 12 he was sent by his parents to stay with his grandfather, the legendary spiritual leader, Mahatma K. Gandhi, during a turbulent period in India’s struggle for independence. Viewing firsthand the effects of his grandfather’s national campaign for liberation through nonviolent means, Arun was set on a course for life.
Keynote Speech in Wilson Hall
