Gandhi would be 151 years old today. 
This episode focuses on his writings and speeches during the last few months of his life. 

Partition and violence had filled his mind with a sense of failure. He understood that the people of India did not take to non-violence and human kindness as an article of faith. 
They used it only as a convenient tactical choice when it suited them. He was not yet ready to admit defeat. 
He believed it was a failure of his teaching, but not of those principles themselves. He believed he could once again start from scratch. He launched another campaign. He probably wanted to call it Do or Die, part 2. He used that phrase several times while talking about his work during those last months.

This time, he had a simple and straight agenda. Everyone who has lost a home or has been made to flee from it in fear, Hindu, Muslim or Sikh, had to be reinstated. 
It was ethically wrong to rob anyone of his or her home. He was uncompromising.

This time he failed and was murdered. This was probably the most glorious moment of his life too. He was soldiering alone, like a real hero, committed only to his faith in the cult of human kindness, beyond popular approval or disapproval.
