Dear All Gandhi was considered fo the Noble thrice twice when he was alive and almost got it in 1948 but was killed ...in keeping with their tradition the committee did not award it to him but did not award a peace prize that year.... a silent acknowledgement...
gandhi was not only the father of the nation. but also considerred the father of the appropriate technology movement In the modern world appropriate technology is supposed to commence from Mohandas Gandhi who advocated small, local, mostly village-based technology to help India's villages become self reliant and thus aid in the freedom struggle against British and wealthy Indians.
E. F. Schumacher who was very strongly influenced by Gandhi's philosophy took his village development further and coined "intermediate technology" in early 1970s. It is Schumacher's book Small is Beautiful that really started the appropriate technology movement.
gandhi was also a appropriate technology inventor. some of his changes to the spinning wheel and farming techniques could have been patented. but that remarkable man with a dhothi and a walking stick holding some patents makes me laugh

Hmm, I didn't know that - it makes for an interesting factoid... Do you know what modifications he made? It might be useful to have this see the light of day...
Thank you all for keeping this name in discussion. The live.
Life goes like this only, people who agree to this name or disagree but should be in touch this name - Mahatma Gandhi. By discussing negative, they are still in touch with him. They still telling to their mind about what he had done. His life.
Our job is keep in moment. The touch of hid name and habits do the rest.. The people who agree, start living some moment, move ahead from discussion.
We will be moving towards better India, better tomorrow.
