I'm no expert on his views, but I find myself in sympathy with a lot of what he said.Gandhi had said: "Life will not be a pyramid with the apex sustained by the bottom. But it will be an oceanic circle whose centre will be the individual always ready to perish for the village, the latter ready to perish for the circle of villages till at last the whole becomes one life composed of individuals, never aggressive in their arrogance, but ever humble, sharing the majesty of the oceanic circle of which they are integral units. Therefore, the outermost circumference will not wield power to crush the inner circle, but will give strength to all within and will derive its own strength from it."
Gandhi identified "modern civilisation" as the real cause for loss of freedom: "Let us first consider what state of things is described by the word 'civilisation'. Its true test lies in the fact that people living in it make bodily welfare the object of life ... Civilisation seeks to increase bodily comforts and it fails miserably even in doing so ... This civilisation is such that one has only to be patient and it will be self-destroyed."
