Gandhi returned to India from South Africa in 1915. By then, Gandhi was already popular amongst Indians. The people of India desperately craved freedom from the British rule and were fighting for it for years.

However, Gandhi didn't jump headfirst into the freedom movement. He first traveled the length and breadth of India to understand the complex realities
  ..................................................................


■The man who fought for a first class train seat in South Africa chose to travel in third class compartments with barefoot pedestrians.

■He wanted to know the real India. The truth must have shocked him as he began to discover the poverty, caste struggles and religious unrest in the country.

■While elite Indians were involved in the freedom movement, the majority of Indians were living in poverty. They were struggling for survival and didn't have time for intellectual debates. 

Creative geniuses re-frame the problem:

■Gandhi understood that the true freedom movement had to be fought not just by a few Indians, but by all Indians. Like a true creative genius, he re-framed the situation.

■For him, the problem was not just a political one, but a social one at heart.

■Up until then, the fight was against the British. But Gandhi asked himself different questions.


Creative geniuses question assumptions:

Gandhi had the audacity and courage to squash the most powerful assumption of all, the one which stated that the British parliament was the best governing system in the world.


Creative geniuses go beyond disruption:

We often see creative geniuses as people who disrupt the status qua. But that's only half the truth. They also have a creative vision of the world that they want to create.

It's precisely this aspect which distinguishes creative geniuses from day-dreamers.

Gandhi also had a vision of an independent India. He wanted to achieve it by non-violent means and by involving all 40 Crore Indians.
