Mohandas Gandhi relates to this year's theme of Leadership and Legacy because of
his undevoted desire for peace among all, resulting in independence for both South Africa and
India. Using protest tactics, such as boycotts and peaceful demonstrations, he was left with the
legacy of nonviolent resistance and applied it to attain political and social development. As
Gandhi himself once stated, You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you
do nothing, there will be no results. Even after his death, Gandhis philosophy has been an
inspiration of hope for demoralized people throughout the world.
