One of the insights I picked up during the defence of the final year students was the following idea according to the Philosophy of Gandhiji. Understanding his idea of Satyagraha, one knows that one of the essential prerequisites of being a satyagrahi was to have belief in God. I had always narrowly thought that it would be belief in God as such. But then, I forgot to understand what could Gandhiji have meant about 'God' in his worldview. He interesting defines not 'God as truth' but 'Truth as God'. That said, he is not necessarily employing some religious idea of God while speaking of belief in God as a requirement for a satyagrahi.
