Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Justice said from a common man, Gandhi rose to become a Mahatma by leading the freedom struggle on a non-violent path. Worldover, there were many movements and struggles. Most of them were violent, but Gandhi showed the world a new path through a non-violent struggle, Justice Ramana said.
Many have followed the path of non-violence and led further struggles, he added. He said Gandhi visited Tirupati twice in 1921 and 1933. It was commendable that Gandhi's autobiography has been brought out in Telugu to make future generations aware of his greatness and simplicity, he said.
