Question

Why does Einstein want Gandhi's example to go beyond india?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time magazine named Albert Einstein as its Man of the 20th century and Mahatma Gandhi as joint runner-up with Franklin D Roosevelt. Curiously, there remains a striking parallel between the constraints faced by the two outstanding personalities.

In 1931, Albert Einstein wrote to Mohandas K. Gandhi to express his great admiration for the Indian leader’s methods. It was in German as:

Einstein’s written letter in German translates as:

Respected Mr. Gandhi

I use the presence of your friend in our home to send you these lines. You have shown through your works, that it is possible to succeed without violence even with those who have not discarded the method of violence. We may hope that your example will spread beyond the borders of your country, and will help to establish an international authority, respected by all, that will take decisions and replace war conflicts.

With sincere admiration,

Yours

(Signed, ‘A. Einstein’)

Answer 2

Einstein wanted Gandhi's example to go beyond India because he was devastated by the nuclear bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 which caused a lot of damage in the heart of Einstein. He contacted him and he was so delighted to see the victory by non violence means and he wanted it to be promoted.
