Abstract

M.K. Gandhi Mahatma Gandhi's contribution to the non-violent civil disobedience movement and India's freedom struggle is widely known and recognized internationally. Since he embraced Ahimsa (non-violence) and was an implacable opponent of vivisection, he was often critical of the allopathic system of medicine, though not against it. Since Mahatma Gandhi had always avoided drugs, his system was quick to react to the small doses of quinine. [...]what he practised might be termed as medicine for the masses.
