Beyond nationalism: the universality of nonviolence

The greatest misconception about nation-building is that violence is always the ultimate form of defeating injustice and fighting a dictatorship. But during the last century, Mahatma Gandhi and many others have proven that nonviolence can be a powerful force which is capable of going beyond nationalism. Gandhi's profound analysis of the notion of 'civilization' places many new and important questions on the agenda of moral and practical philosophy today. In the march beyond nationalism, our world can move along with Gandhi's idea of civilization as nonviolence to get clear cut results in solving the problems related to poverty, war and violence.
