Mohandas Gandhi


Today’s Green Thought comes from  Mohandas Gandhi, 1926  (Then the population of UK was approx. 45 million;  the present population of India is 1,180 million, projected to pass China’s total by 2025).


God forbid that India should ever take to industrialisation after the manner of the West. The economic imperialism of a single tiny island kingdom (England) is today keeping the world in chains. If an entire nation of 300 million took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts.
