Gandhi’s view on religion
“All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.”
Gandhi was a Hindu but believed that all religions were simply different paths to the same God.
Gandhi was vehemently opposed to the partition of India as he wanted co-operation and harmony between Hinduism and Islam (and other religions).
