Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools
Do you feel the education system is sucking the life out of you and the pupils you serve? I think many of us wish we could click our fingers and make it fit for purpose. A place of growth with shared learning that empowers pupils to be their best selves, so they can create a world they want to inhabit now and in the future. While a magic wand or a visionary politician might sound like the answer I believe change is already happening. Educators are changing futures one conversation at a time. New technology and the environments where we learn are beginning to look different both in and out of the classroom. I hope you are seeing this first hand and are excited about what you can share with your pupils. We are having conversations, sharing organisations and communities that are supporting education in a way that you may have not experienced. Educational change will come from us all working in way that supports the best interests of each of our pupils, personalised learning. Governments and policy makers will follow when they see fully how it can be different. So let us teach, coach, mentor and create an environment that fuels every child with feedback, inspiration, resilience and empowerment. The Education on Fire community is shining the torch, so no matter where you are in the world or how you are supporting children this podcast is here for you.

322: Kinesthetic learning in pre-K to 2nd grade with Walkabouts
Walkabouts are on-demand adventures that transform math, language arts, and reading content into short, movement-rich activities for pre-K to 2nd grade students. Teachers report that Walkabouts help build students' confidence, improve self-awareness, and enhance self-control. This evidence-based online curriculum supplement makes it easy for teachers and parents to create kinesthetic learning activities — fun lessons that bring key concepts to life through active learning techniques. Walkabouts are even correlated to the state standards (plus Head Start and NAEYC standards) teachers already use. Plus, unlike traditional videos or brain breaks, Walkabouts are dynamic and different each time they play. Watch as a Walkabout is created and played.As a kinesthetic learner, Dr. Julian Reed - Walkabouts co-founder - remembers his active classes in school most fondly. He based Walkabouts on scientific research that proves kids who move more perform better academically. He hopes to kick start a new generation of children who stay active and learn at the same time.Websitewww.walkabouts.comSocial Media Information@DrJulianReed@getwalkaboutswww.facebook.com/walkaboutsResources MentionedSpark - John Ratey M.DWhy Learning Is Not All in Your Head - Carla HannafordShow Sponsor – National Association for Primary Education (NAPE)Primary Education Summit – 'Visions for the Future' – March 2023Book NOW at www.nape.org.uk/summit
321: Global Girl Project with Julia Lynch
Julia Lynch founded Global Girl Project in 2014, after over twenty years working as a Community Social Worker and Therapist. During this time Julia traveled extensively, including time spent in Tanzania and Jamaica providing community and health services to local at-risk communities. This work ignited her passion for supporting marginalized girls, and GGP was born. As a woman of colour who grew up in a small, white town Julia learned from an early age how imperative it is to see yourself represented in positions of power and leadership. Since that time, Julia has worked tirelessly to not only be a role model for her global girls, but to train them on how to be role models and leaders to others within their communities.As the Founding Director, Julia works in partnership with NGOs and schools globally to implement and run leadership programs and initiatives for girls throughout the developing world. Julia not only works directly with our scholars online, but also runs the day-to-day operations of GGP from the United Kingdom. Through GGP programming the impact in each local partner country has been evident. From an increase in self-confidence, leadership skills and self-perceived power and autonomy from the girls, to a shift in perception of gender roles and capabilities from local community members, the impact that is being created is truly global in scope.Websitewww.globalgirlproject.orgSocial Media Informationwww.facebook.com/globalgirlprojectwww.linkedin.com/company/global-girl-project/Instagram: globalgirlprojectTwitter: @GlobalGirlProjShow Sponsor – National Association for Primary Education (NAPE)Primary Education Summit – 'Visions for the Future' – March 2023Book NOW at www.nape.org.uk/summit

Dr. Thomas Epperson is the president of InnerWill Leadership Institute and has over 20 years of experience as a leadership coach, facilitator, and speaker, and he regularly works with clients to help transform leaders and their organizations.Tom is a certified business coach and has a doctorate in leadership from The George Washington University. Tom is currently an instructor in Virginia Commonwealth Universities' Executive MBA Program. He is the author of InnerWill, Developing Better People, Braver Leaders, and a Wiser World Through the Practice of Values-Based Leadership.Tom believes that leadership is a choice, not a title, and that our responsibility as leaders is to make a positive difference in the lives of those around us. Tom balances high expectations of himself and others with relentless optimism about the ability of individuals to make our organizations, families, and communities amazing places to live, work, and grow. Tom believes that leadership is a powerful force for good in the world, if we choose to do so; his personal mission in life is to help others develop the skills to make that choice more often than not.Tom works hard to be a great husband and father; he's married to a strong, creative woman and has two fantastic sons who have taught him that we can learn as much about ourselves and our leadership at home as we can at work.Born out of Luck Companies, InnerWillLeadership Institute was founded to teach other leaders how to build values-based organizations which ignite the potential in people. After an 85-year history as a successful business, President and CEO Charlie Luck IV realized that the business had so much more potential if alignment and collaboration of senior management could be improved. This led to a Values Based Leadership (VBL) journey—for his family and for the workplace. Ultimately, the Values Based Leadership principles and practices were shared with every employee at Luck Companies and every Luck family member. As a result, Luck Companies is the largest family-held and family-run aggregate business in the country, ranks in the top three most engaged places to work in the US, and is a thriving organization built for the future.The impact to Luck Companies, and to the individuals touched and transformed by the VBL journey, inspired the launch of InnerWill. Leadership is a choice, not a title –a conscious choice to work first on yourself to in turn positively impact the lives of those around you. Developing self-awareness takes tenacity and grit, while standing up for your core values take courage. We reflected on our definition of leadership and the strength needed to achieve it and chose the name InnerWill.Today, InnerWill teaches the necessary skills to strengthen leadership capabilities and drive results through the practice of VBL. More than a training company, InnerWillis a 501 c3 nonprofit that invests in the organizations and people that we serve through customized solutions built to ensure positive and measurable impacts.Websitewww.innerwill.orgSocial Media Informationwww.linkedin.com/company/innerwillShow SponsorNational Association for Primary Education (NAPE) are planning a Primary Education Summit in March 2023.

A bridesmaid in pink is a classic notion, yet today's pinks come in a wide range of shades. Pink bridesmaid dresses can be the very palest of pinks, fuchsia, hot pink, magenta, strawberry, watermelon or coral. Pink is a colour that looks good on almost everyone as long as you have the right shade. It is the colour of romance, perfect for bridesmaid gowns. What is interesting about pink is that there are so many varieties; you can create almost any mood from a hot pink/zebra stripe go-go theme to a rose petal pink Cinderella theme.
Pink can be worn year round as long as you have the right shade. The lighter pinks work better during the spring, while more vibrant pinks show up in the summer, autumn and winter. Pink dresses can be any length, formal or casual, romantic or sleek. Pink works well for soft fabrics, but can also be used for satin and silk. Find out different colour bridesmaid dresses in our gallery.

LONDON (Reuters) – A close ally of Prime Minister Theresa May on Saturday became the first cabinet minister to float a possible Plan B if, as expected, parliament next week rejects her proposal to leave the European Union.
With her own future in the balance, May insists her deal, laboriously negotiated with the EU over many months, is the only one on the table and that the alternatives are a painful 'no-deal' exit from the EU or possibly no Brexit at all.
However, members of parliament, including from May's own Conservative Party, look set to reject her deal, which envisages continued close ties with the EU, in a move that would pitch the world's fifth-largest economy into even deeper uncertainty.
While agreeing with May that her deal provides the best option for exiting the EU, Amber Rudd, the work and pensions minister, said a Norway-style relationship with the bloc might also offer a way out of the current deadlock.
"If it (May's plan) doesn't get through anything could happen: people's vote, Norway plus, any of these options could come forward," she told BBC radio on Saturday.
Rudd told The Times newspaper in an interview her own preferred option, if May's deal failed, was the "Norway Plus" model, adding it "seems plausible not just in terms of the country but in terms of where the MPs are".
Norway is not an EU member but is in the bloc's single market, which allows for free movement of goods, capital, services and people. 'Norway plus' envisages Britain also staying in the EU's customs union, which Norway is not in.
Senior officials on both sides of the EU-UK negotiations on May's deal have voiced scepticism to Reuters about the "Norway pivot" idea, saying it seems far removed from British demands for more control over rules and could need lengthy new talks.
Some pro-EU lawmakers have also expressed support for a second referendum on EU membership, or 'a people's vote'.
The Times reported on Saturday that plans were being made across party lines to vote against May's leadership if she loses Tuesday's vote. The Daily Telegraph quoted a senior Conservative lawmaker as saying she might be forced to resign.
Rudd said she believed May should stay on as prime minister even if parliament rejects her Brexit deal. "There is no question of her going," Rudd told the BBC.
The Times said the main opposition Labour Party was seeking an alliance with rebel Conservatives and the Democratic Unionist Party, the small Northern Irish party which props up May's minority government, to call a vote of no-confidence in the prime minister.
That vote would not be binding but would place enormous pressure on May to resign, it added.
Conservative lawmaker and former leader Iain Duncan Smith was quoted in the Telegraph as saying her leadership could come into question if she lost Tuesday's vote.
"I believe that if (May's) response is 'we've lost but we will do this all over again', it will become a leadership issue," he was quoted as saying.
The newspaper also said three ministers were considering resigning in opposition to her deal, without citing sources.
If the Brexit deal is rejected, ministers have 21 days to state how they intend to proceed. The government has previously said that if the agreement is rejected, Britain will leave the EU without a deal.
May's spokesman said on Friday the vote would go ahead next week despite calls from some MPs for it to be delayed to avoid a defeat so big that it might bring down the government.

Write an informal letter giving news in dream
Rejoice, my daughter, to conform thee to the shame of Christ. The Washingtons said goodbye to old acquaintances and enjoyed a last-minute shopping spree just before departing the city. In reality, Washington had not retired; he had merely left public life. As a young man, he was a surveyor. More than this--her instinct for solidarity forced her to dwell in the thought of a world-embracing brotherhood.
Throughout the day the doctors applied poultices of wheat bran and administered two laxatives. OK, having established the necessity of writing a book proposal from early, early stages in your career, we now turn to the proposal itself.
But her political correspondence grew in bulk. So the root shall be pulled up, and by displeasure against itself the soul will drive out displeasure against its neighbour, grieving more over the unregulated instincts of its own heart and thoughts than over the suffering it could receive from its fellows, or any insult or annoyance they could inflict on it.
And he maintained detailed records of write an informal letter giving news in dream successes and failures. The writer has kindly allowed me to share this here as a favor, after I asked her permission. Washington was no exception. We have spoken of the common kind.
This is very telling behavior from the media personality who claims to be the person who started the truth movement - literally. It is because anger and impatience are the very pith and sap of pride that they please the devil so much.
Full of conviction that the soul needs only to recognise its sin to hate and escape it for ever, she passes swiftly on to impassioned appeal. Sign up for your choice of monthly e-newsletters! There is no sin nor wrong that gives a man such a foretaste of hell in this life as anger and impatience.
I get it a lot more now. First, I want you to think of the shortness of your time, for on one day you are not certain of the morrow.
Each had its own worm and a receptacle. Pride displeases Him and humility pleases Him. By February 22, barely a month after receiving permission to set up shop, Anderson had barreled and stored 80 gallons of whiskey.
In dealings with British markets, the shipping fees, import and export duties, brokerage charges and other commissions often ate up as much as 80 percent of the total sale. By dawn, his condition had further deteriorated.
For love toward God should be without measure, and that for the creature should be measured by that for God, and not by the measure of one's own consolations, either spiritual or temporal.

Well tonight should be a garanteed win for the Blazers win there current trend of win one loose one, so I will say a win tonight, lose to to Hitman on Wed, win in Van on Friday and loss to rockets next Saturday, love to see some wins in a row but that asking a lot.
Wow, what did you eat for breakfast?
I can't see why you would guarantee a win here? The Tigers are an OK team and the Blazers haven't lit the world on fire.
You know befoer I would of disagreed with you. But its very evident that Ferner does NOT have what it takes to be a coach. If Clark allows this to continue and doesn't do something to change it then he's allowing his friendship with Mark to interfere with the direction of the club thus proving his incompetence.
This team has potential YES they've shown flashes that they can be dominate but the times they've lost they've been HORRIBLE. Truly horrific effort once more tonite and you know that some of these so called hockey players could careless about winning.
Guttierez doesn't do enough to warrant a roster spot as a 19 yo in my opinion.
Tesliuk, only thing he's good for is offense and now he can't even do that. Makes too many mistakes is another candidate for the worthless pile.
Jorgensen, wow never thought I'd say anything bad about him, but truly he has been a piss poor leader and should have his C ripped right off him. Another guy who is suppose to be an offensive leader and hasn't done jack **** the last 10 games or so.
And Kassian, what the hell happened to your title of WHL Heavyweight? He's done very little of that in my opinion since he's come to Kamloops but then again how many players careers have takent a slide back when they come to play here?
Ferner, well sorry excuses have run out. You cannot get your players going every game, you give them no direction and either your players are incredibly stupid and can't follow instructions or those so called "simple" play thing you always go on about isn't being explained right.
As for Dubnyk, enough is enough of making this guy play behind a sorry group of losers year in and year out. Do the right thing and reward Dubby for putting up with all the bs that has gone on around here the last few years.
If you have any class Clark you will ship him away.
Time to let Thorpe take the reigns as Ferner's time has run out in my opinion.
Only players worth keeping, Dunstall, Stretch, Bender, Nixon, Delorande, Steinmann, Skrudland, Mason.
Just giving ya a hard time man... keep up the good work!!!
yha I should know better than to predict anything with this team this year.
What can you say about old KBF, he calls it the way he sees it!

Atanu Dey on India's Development
Economics, Policy and Government
Shri Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as the "mahatma," was born on this day October 2nd in 1869. Popular opinion associates Gandhi with non-violence. I differ. I believe that poverty engenders more violence against innocent humans than any other single cause or condition. Perhaps he genuinely was against violence but what Gandhi achieved resulted in unimaginable violence.
It would be hard to estimate accurately how many people have suffered lives of unimaginable deprivation over the decades that India has languished in poverty since 1947. Current estimates of people below the poverty line vary but a conservative estimate could be as high as 400 million. Conservatively I estimate that a billion people have lived and died extremely impoverished lives since 1947 in India.
India's poverty is entirely man-made. Nature has not been too unkind to India in terms of natural resources. India does not suffer devastating natural calamities. External aggression does not routinely lay waste all Indians build. None of those can account for India's chronic poverty and backwardness.
India's poverty is due to bad policies arising from flawed and dangerous ideas. Gandhi was one of the most fecund fountains of bad ideas. What is worse is that Gandhi forced Nehru on India. That one act alone is sufficient to damn Gandhi. But it will take a few more decades before people recognize the damage Nehru did to India. Nehru put India on the fast track to serfdom.
Gandhi made a fetish of poverty. It can be said of Gandhi what Christopher Hitchens had said of M. Teresa — that she was not a friend of the poor but rather a friend of poverty.
Gandhi did not understand the first thing about the nature of the world that he so powerfully intervened in. Human welfare follows from adopting good ideas — regardless of where the ideas originate. He rejected the best ideas merely because they were not home-grown in his tiny backyard.
The world is ideas. Every human artifact is in its essence a collection of embodied ideas. We humans are unique in the known universe as the creators and users of ideas. We create ideas, build upon previous ideas, we adopt ideas created by others, we do "mash-ups" of ideas, we delight in sharing ideas.
Rejecting good ideas is most definitely the best way to impoverish oneself. It leads not just to material poverty but to spiritual poverty, a diminishing of the human spirit.
India had been impoverished for centuries by foreign domination. Foreigners ruled India because India was weak. India's vulnerability was because it had not adopted good ideas.
If Gandhi has been wise, he would have himself adopted good ideas and exhorted Indians to adopt good ideas — regardless of the origins of the ideas. His rejection of ideas merely because they originated in the West had tragic consequences.
Just as an example, consider the case Gandhi and machines. He rejected industrialization. Machines were bad, according to Gandhi. Actually, some machines were bad — those that Gandhi did not approve of were bad. Machines that Gandhi approved of were good. Gandhi appointed himself as the arbiter of that distinction.
Gandhi rejected machines that made cloth efficiently and approved of machines that humans had to use laboriously. Perhaps he thought that there was some special virtue in doing mindless drudge work. But if enough people are forced to do mindless drudge work for most of their lives, it leads to impoverishment.
If instead of 100 people slogging away on their tiny charkhas to make a few yards of cloth, machines (perhaps a "Western" product) were used to make large amounts of cloth using only a little human labor, wouldn't that free many people to do other things such as growing food, writing poems, teaching, playing, contemplating the universe, etc?
Why is it OK to use charkhas (a primitive machine) but not a power loom? If the use of charkha is recommended because it employs more people than the use of a power loom would, then should one not recommend the use of bare fingers to employ even more people to make cloth?
People who reject machine made cloth on the grounds that Gandhi did not approve of machines and industrialization, should as a matter of consistency reject practically everything that we routinely use today. The entire edifice of modern life in even an underdeveloped backward economy such as India is intimately tied to goods and services that are made possible by industrialization.
Gandhi's central idea was the rejection of good ideas merely because it was "foreign." Gandhi's idea has impoverished India as powerfully as any foreign invader ever had.

Even if one buys your argument, it seems a bit lame to be blaming India's poverty on people who have died more than 50 years back. Couldn't subsequent leaders have corrected course?
Perhaps Gandhi was hoping that a society with their nose to the charkha 24×7 would shrink in population fast enough that the rest can be educated a little. Press a button to weave cloth with electric power and you have plenty of energy left over at the end of the day. Didn't work out that way, unfortunately. There are now more desperately poor Indians alive, in a manner of speaking, than the total numbers of Indians in 1947. If that's not a final definition of a failed nation, give me a better one.
Atanu is fond of thrashing up Nehru and Gandhi, and, indeed, these were clueless jokers with an unfortunate following. Perhaps the more interesting question for Atanu is, why did these nincompoops find such following? We can just scream for more education, and we should, but that does not suffice. How many high school graduates in India are told, or have the skill to critique Nehru and Gandhi, by the time they graduate? I was born in a household that loves to deconstruct everyone vociferously. But even in high school I found my classmates politically too bland to suffer.
I have read few blogs of Atanu da and I think he likes thrashing up Nehru and Gandhi. But one must recognise that to err is human. Gandhi did comit some follies but I think he did lot of things right too. In my limited intellect Gandhi viewed Charkha as a multiprong apparatus. It was means to unite people through a common action,enjoying simplicity,preventing the british from looting the coton aal way to Britain etc.
About Gandhi being against machines I am not very sure about it but he advocated industry and I dont think he was fool enough to think about industry without machines. I would like to include some quotes atrributed to gandhi in the end.
Disclaimer: My only connections with politics is limted to casting my vote
Gandhi says-
1.What they need is some kind of occupation, and the occupation that will give employment to millions can only be hand-spinning.
2.Revival of the cottage industry, and not cottage industries, will remove the growing poverty. When once we have revived the one industry, all the other industries will follow…. I would make the spinning-wheel the foundation on which to build a sound village life.
3.Take to spinning [to find peace of mind]. The music of the wheel will be as balm to your soul.

Gandhi made a fetish of poverty.
You seem to pin the entire culture of asceticism in India on Gandhi. All religious and cultural traditions from India put high emphasis on living simply and living on little. Buddhism and Jainism especially put emphasis on it.
On this background comes in the philosophy of communism and it was a lethal mix. Socialism powered by the local cultural respect for ascetic and simplistic life made poverty a virtue.
This CANNOT be pinned on Gandhi. In fact if Gandhi had not been an ascetic Saadhu type he would have never garnered the kind of nationwide following that he did. This following made the movement for self rule a mass movement otherwise as you yourself point out many times, there was NO REAL HUNGER for freedom at the common man's level.
You may not like things that Gandhi stood for, but pinning this on Gandhi is completely off base, in my view. It is because of this quasi-religious (whether appropriate or not) appeal of Gandhi that has resulted in India as the country in this shape. (Which is a HUGE mistake in my view. India should have been at least 5 to 7 countries … but thats a whole another topic)
ND says:
You are attributing way more than they deserve.
Gandhi has been gone for 60+ years.
Nehru for 50+ years.
3 generations have come and gone after these 2 jokers.
Granted that the fools that came after used these 2 jokers as a crutch and kept pushing the crap till it hit the ceiling but you can't blame that Gandhi for the fuck up of today's Gandhis or the Gandhis that will come after this current lot – going by this logic, maybe we should blame the Civil war for all the woes of the US (not)…right?
Loknath says:
Here are the concluding remarks on Gandhi by a member of Nobel Committee, Professor Jacob Worm-Müller, in deciding not to award the Nobel peace prize to Gandhi on 1937 nomination.
"He is, undoubtedly, a good, noble and ascetic person – a prominent man who is deservedly honoured and loved by the masses of India." On the other hand, when considering Gandhi as a political leader, the Norwegian professor's description was less favourable. There are, he wrote, "sharp turns in his policies, which can hardly be satisfactorily explained by his followers. (…) He is a freedom fighter and a dictator, an idealist and a nationalist. He is frequently a Christ, but then, suddenly, an ordinary politician."

Only if these thoughts resonated across the country….
It could truly make India a better place to survive.
Atanu, more grist for your mill:
Kaffir says:
"All religious and cultural traditions from India put high emphasis on living simply and living on little. Buddhism and Jainism especially put emphasis on it."
Yes, living simply. But, Sanatan Dharma doesn't say every member of the society ought to become an ascetic, as half of the four purusharthas include artha and kama. One must work hard (following dharma), earn money, and enjoy life. When one has lived his life in grahast ashram and fulfilled his duties, there are the next two stages to strive towards moksha (vanaprastha & sanyas) – which is where asceticism come into play.
Ashish Deodhar says:
To the best of my knowledge, Gandhi opposed not the "foreign" machines but the clothes made in England. It was because the British raj sourced cotton at cheap rates from India by exploiting the cotton growers and then sold clothes made of the same cotton to India and across the world at steep prices.
It was to oppose the exploitation that he called for a ban on foreign clothes, from whatever history I have learnt. Of course, you are welcome to tell me that the history I have been taught is incorrect, that it's all "Congress propaganda" and so on 🙂
Himadri Mayank says:
Gandhi realised that mere speeches, writings and gatherings are not enough to galvanise 300 million people belonging to such degrees of plurality as India. He used Charkha, his own appearance as a 'half naked fakir', swadeshi, to an extent non-violence and many other symbols to mass-market the idea that the notion of Old India is much more fascinating than the New World; that people of India deserve to and should strive to live as free citizens in a free nation. Else, if just industrialization and economic prosperity is the issue, we could have just fought for better economic policies under British rule itself. Where was the need to be independent from the British?
And to think that Gandhi wanted to keep Indians poor is simply naive. Think about India in the early twentieth century, when untouchability was rampant, casteism and racism was much more ingrained into the Indian social hierarchy. Gandhi simply wanted the poor to feel that they are an equal participant of the social fabric, if not the economic one. Extolling the poor and extolling poverty are two different things. Extolling the poor was just a means to an end: boosting their self-esteem. Extolling economic poverty is stupid.
I totally believe that capitalism brings enormous benefits to the society, by creating a large working middle class, trickle down effects on low income population and most importantly keeping the aspirations of the populations high. However, I have the benefit of hindsight. For Gandhi, Nehru, Shastri and many others not only in India but globally, socialism was a romantic idea in the early twentieth century. It was a break from the existing capitalist exploitative framework. In theory, socialism does look very interesting. In practice, now we understand that it is a utopia. Under British rule, Indian workers were definitely exploited and to an extent the idea of capitalism became synonymous with imperialism. In my opinion, the break from capitalism stemmed largely from a hate for imperialist ambitions.
Having said all this, I think it is nothing but the ancient virtues of this land that exalts sacrifice, ascetism, detachment and nirvana over commerce and materialism that has hurt India the most, economically. The Indian civilization probably peaked much earlier than others, due to abundance of everything – natural resources, people, ideas etc, and went much before into a post-materialistic ideology. Although they do not matter today, to keep Vaishya after Kshatriya or Brahmin has been the biggest undoing from our scriptures. Gandhi is a small plot in the larger scheme, but he did contribute immensely to the struggle.
To me it does not matter what Gandhi did was right or not. Those were different times, and you cannot assess the decisions or actions then through today's lens.
But the main issue is that if we are damned for decades (or centuries) because one man made bad decisions, what does that say of the rest of the billions of people that have lived and died, and been put in decision-making roles (including the decision to vote a particular way, and to support or oppose certain poliocies)?
If we are a country that can produce billions of idiots over many decades, we deserve to remain poor and backward. If our destiny depends on having produced one good or bad leader many decades ago, well then…
GAMJI says:
I think Gandhi was very short sighted and this has done more harm to India than many things. The man failed to understand Islam so he spoke very approvingly of Muhammad. He thought by doing so the muslims would be placated and abandon the idea of a separate country. He failed to understand that by calling for 'Pakistan' the muslims were actually saying that they wanted nothing to do with the "UNCLEAN HINDUS" himself inclusive. When the muslims kicked out Hindus and Sikhs from their ancestral homes, Gandhi assured the muslims that what was left of India was their home. Today the Hindus and Sikhs are being systematically eradicated from their God given lands. India on the other hand has been left with a muslim population of 140 million. This makes India home to the second largest population in the world and each one of these is not interested in the well being of India. Each one has the potential to engage in acts of terrorism against India. I believe India would still have been independent without Gandhi. He did not do much to help the country.
