“A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks; he becomes.”
Gandhi really lives for his morals and it's not just talk, action is followed. He proves himself right. For example this quote in the movie is well represented. I think the scene that shows that the most is especially by the end. When the muslims and hindus are at war and using violence against each other in the street, killing and blood spilling.
When Gandhi hears about this, he decides to start fasting. He fasts because he has fought a war to no violence and has proven it to be effective and feels as though his actions to find peace have been wasted. He fasts so that people would realize that they are not just hurting each other physically. In this case he thinks it is better to die than live in this world who is so weak to violence. Therefore he becomes weak.
The class has thought about that action, and how much effect it had. Gandhi was already known and cared for as well as respected, thus his weak state and close death was not ignored, nor did anyone actually want him to be in that state. He was able to stop the violence and keep the peace by fasting. That is powerful, Gandhi's influence was huge and was known for his "thoughts" or beliefs, and people were ready to let go of the anger to keep Gandhi so the world stays a better place.
This is proved by this next quote ""I am a Muslim, and a Hindu, and a Christian and a Jew; and so are you."
Gandhi says this while passing through a crowd of Hindu protesters on his way to meet Mr. Jinnah. He says this because he does not want religion to define a human being or for it to be a reason to hate others. In a way he says this to explain that we are all children of God and therefore equal.
