Mahatma (great soul) Gandhi's assassination 75 years ago today in New Delhi, India is a key milestone of legacy of tongevity of  spirit of Gandhi's nonviolent struggle for India's independence from British rule. No human since Abraham Lincoln has had such a consequential impact on nonviolent change than Gandhi. Last August India celebrated its 75th independence day and 4 days ago India celebrated its 73rd Republic day with president of Egypt as chief guest of honor. Successive Indian govts embraced secular fabric of India that Gandhi promoted. Overall there is considerable inter-faith and inter caste harmony just like in USA where there is inter-religious harmony despite sporadic incidences of violence by a few. The greatness of Democracy in largest Democracy, India and the second largest Democracy, USA is based on equal justice in the application of law. No wonder that in this century, India and the USA have become strategic partners and world leaders for peaceful co-existence and rule of law. Mahatma Gandhi was born in the same decade in 1869 as the end of slavery in 1863 in USA by Hodgenville, KY born 16 th US president Lincoln inaugurated in 1861. There is an American in Louisville, KY who was also born in Hodgenville and is as tall as Lincoln, 6 foot 4 inches or as he likes to joke 5 foot 16 inches. He has a beard like Lincoln and in his younger days had a hair style like Lincoln. His favorite quote of Gandhi is "I don't eat any living being that has/had a mother"
