he felt gandhi or anyone who wanted to have a world of peace, that gandhi was inescapable. let's talk about gandhi's influence. >> i think when he said that he was thinking of gandhi not as a hindu. though obviously he was. he was thinking of gandhi as a moral human being. that's where you have to defer to that socratic element in martin. there is obviously the attraction toward gandhi, you know, in terms of what he had achieved and the spiritual strength that enabled that achievement. it's terribly important. but also implicit in martin and there is appreciation of this movement in human terms that far transcended the indian case.

mays met gandhi is he was going to india on the international ymca movement. this allowed the freedom to go and to travel. i want to put this a little bit quick context. india, south africa was still under british imperialism and one of the ways you could go was to say that you had religious duties to do or to carry out and mays traveled under that so he could meet leaders. in 1937 mays went not only to india, but he traveled through what we now call the middle east or near east. and this opened up a huge world to him. one, he interviewed gandhi for 90 minutes which he wrote about extensively in newspapers and secondly he also was traveling because he understood that christianity was a global religion itself and that christianity in and of itself had internal divisions. baptists had their sets of beliefs and others had their sets of beliefs so mays was traveling in the context of trying to look at christianity itself as a global religion and also to begin he was his first into hinduism and islam. mays was interested in the relationships between christians and

meis met gandhi was, in fact, he was going to me intera movement. and this allowed the freedom to go and to travel. now, i want to put this a little bit -- a quick context. in india, in south africa, we're still under british imperialism, and one of the ways you could go is to say you had religious duties to do or carry out and maibs travelled under that awe spiss so he could meet leaders. and in 1937 meis went not only to india, but he traveled through what we now call the middle east or the near east, however one wants to geographically put this. and this opened up a huge world to him. one, he interviewed gandhi for 90 minutes, which he wrote about extensively in newspapers, and secondly, he also was traveled because he understood that christianity was a global religion itself, that christianity in and of itself had internal divisions. bap tiflts believed they were landmarkian and they had their beliefs and other peopled that their sets of beliefs, so mays was traveling in the context of number one, trying to look at christianity itself as a globa

thurman saw in ghandi that which was transformative because gandhi was a disciple of truth. truly believe if we are serious in studying thurman, one of the insights for us in this 21st century will be ways in which we can engage pluralism with celebration rather than trepidation. he said perhaps the only hope for the world, for community, is religion. which seems odd in light of the fact we know how religious people can go at one another, but i think what he was leading us to is the oneness that can be found in religion, that transcends the political and the social and the personal rhetoric that divides. i think there is a key for us and it's worth the interfaith journey. >> third and definitely not last is dr. preston king. dr. king was born in albany georgia and earned his bachelor of arts from fisk university, his master of science and a doctorate of philosophy from the london school of economics. he lived abroad for nearly 40 years and was also educated at the university of vienna straussburg and paris. i want to mention he was in exile. he's one of the heroes. his famil

put some more information on where gandhi fits in. mays and thurman. what was their relationship? >> mays and thurman were friends. mays was thurman's teacher. not that far apart in age. something else there, too. >> mays takes pleasure in saying i was thurman's teacher, which he was. they formed a relationship. he says that he's so impressed with young thurman and he was also their debate coach. both for thurman and james norbert. they were on the debate team. mays is the coach. they win a tournament and this is legendary that mays nearly jumped off the stage because of his team with thurman. this is really a crucial point. going back to your point about king is that they were able because they debated, they were able to entertain ideas. we live in a society where entertaining ideas is not considered valuable anymore. that people considered other people's perspective. now in order to have a perspective, i mean in order to -- you have to hear one another. that was something that mays and thurman preached a lot. this community, under a

. >> keeping it theological, i would guess mays, thurman, and king all felt gandhi would be in paradise. that he didn't have to do anything else to be saved to get into paradise. which means they are looking at -- >> it's the same sort of thing. >> i think so. i think your comment on ethics is right on. because, for mays, god has to be an ethical force in the world and, you know, you've got to look at the 20th century. great moment in the 20th century is 1917, the russian revolution. and will the world go into a violent revolution such as russia was and a civil war or is there another methodology? and one of the things i was struck by is that at howard at the school of religion was the center of this talk about gandhi. between mortechai johnson who calls gandhi the little brown man and is this -- this is the way we can have a social revolution that meets up with the idea that we don't want to destroy human personality. we don't want to destroy human personality. if we are religious people, we want to enhance personality. if we have like in russia, we will destroy human personality. ther

>> i admire gandhi for his approach. the more i read about him, the more i read about what he has done, the more i think he is ultimately right. probably that is not the right approach for many people. that is not going to work. i had some of these arguments with some of the revolutionaries who are more aggressive and on the line than me. i relate more to gandhi. we were cutting parts of the movie and applauding it to the page. i remember one time people were very angry because of the police reaction and i got the scene when he is was in south africa, telling people, they can kill my body, they can kill me, but one thing will not get out of me as my obedience and respect for myself. i do not know if he said exactly that. off but that was the main message we wanted to give. we were going to get all of our rights by being non-violent, by not responding to their violence, by showing them they are ugly for what they are doing and we are civilized. >> as you know, martin luther king famous it was a student of gandhi. but your

for the enterprise was started by the great grandfather, a close friend of mahatma gandhi. >> this is your grandfather? >> that is my grandfather. >> they say it is in their dna. >> my father, uncle, all of them with top business in the evening. we would just sit around, so it was there all the time. >> it is undivided loyalty, but is there an unfair advantage if you are getting the is this passed on to you because of your jeans? >> it gives you a head start, but because we are family, is much higher expectations. >> this building behind me is believed to be the world's most expensive house. good it is owned by the wealthiest man and from a family-run empire. the majority of the country's top 10 rich lives are from family-run enterprises. they have all works of life in india. trading down to the next generation has been part of the cultural fabric for centuries. as is the idea of extended families living together. in this swanky mentioned in mumbai lives three generations of the family. they decided to carry on their father's multibillion-dollar steel business. it is not a personal bu

they're not many rebels of consequence or the ones that e are are of great consequence, gandhi, ayatollah khomeini made the team and generated krrable criticism and "time" had to jump up and down and say influence, influence, influence in defending their choice. martin luther king. not many american southerners who were not presidents of the united states, lindbehin lyndon and jimmy carter, except martin luther king, ben bernanke, clinton, south carolina. no, not clinton, south carolina, dillon, south carolina, south of the border. sp supposedly it was his first job. ted turner. and newt gingrich. and that's -- i don't know if that's a stretch or not, whether he was -- is or should be a southerner. because he was born in pennsylvania i think. just because he represented georgia and taught at west georgia. well, anyway. "time" has tended until very recent years to be a very conservative, very loose, lucite publication you might say tending towards republicans and consensus sorts of people. chiang kai-shek made it, madam chian made the team. mao tse-tung never made person of the year. when

indira gandhi, was in the a post-gender when bolivia elected its first working class president, where the post-class? i mean, it is a reflection of the dichotomy. the movement -- you cannot deny the accomplishments of the movement. the human rights movement, which we need to begin talking about more, and malcolm x began to increasingly before he was assassinated, but the thing is, these smokescreens get thrown at us, and we fall over and over again. happen with clarence thomas in a certain way, right, you know? in a more evil way, many of us have gotten comfortable because rock is in the white house, but he cannot be most effective unless we are on his ass, right? we voted, so i will go home now, and see you in four years. the republicans, the tea party, all these folks, they are on his ass, so if you believe that all that there is power in that position, and there are folks that make convincing arguments about a black face on white supremacy, so there is complications, but can progress be made? can progress be made with that position? absolutely. but while we honor and acknowledge th

five months after freedom, the father of the nation, gandhi, was assassinated. in indonesia in the 1990s, a year after he fell, b.j. habibi became president amidst economic collapse and rising islamic radicalism. his presidency lasted exactly 17 months. now, we remember the eastern european revolutions of 1989. but those are really the exceptions that prove a much more messy rule. the process of becoming democratic has always been chaotic. mistakes are made. lives are lost. and in the most dire moments, people have always doubted that there would be a good outcome. we need to keep that in mind when we assess the arab spring. democracy might be messy. it's certainly complicated. it takes a while to consolidate. but for the first time in perhaps a millennium, the arab people are taking charge of their own affairs. so let's cut them some slack. it's only been a year. and we'll be right back. >>> up next, a fascinating world view from the east. my interview with singapore's prime minister. stay with us. >>> singapore, the tiny nation state at the southern tip of mal

luther king jr., who think like, who think like the great progressives and humanists who think like gandhio do not think like ayn rand, who do not think about greed and self-enrichment. they actually think about community, and they think about helping people who can't or won't take care of themselves. for folks like us, we have allowed ourselves to be erased. we're not even in the discussion. they talk about the center, well, they left out the left. it was like a bird with a right wing, you know? [laughter] and and i said, that's our fault. we allow these debates to go on, and we allow the terms to be defined so that my clients are out of the picture. they're not even counted in the census anymore. they're not counted in unemployment statistics. so i wrote this book to explain to my friends and to this journalist who finds poverty boring why ignoring people at the bottom of the economic scale and leaving them at the bottom of the well as the great, late derek bell would say, if you you leave them to a to grow, they never of violence, guess what? they germinate dangers that come back at the

ron paul was like this gandhi-like creature who wouldn't take bribes, wouldn't take money from the lobbyistsw it was taxpayer paid vacation, wouldn't go into little rooms, pick stocks and decide the policy to dictate whether the stocks go up or down. he was pure. now he's in apartmental run and trying to reform the whole system. it's not an easy task, but we're pleased with what's happening. >> doug, ron paul essentially is not campaigning in the state of michigan which holds its primary on tuesday. he is running an attack ad against rick santorum. my question to you is why rick santorum? which not mitt romney? >> if you follow the money and you'll see our ads, most of our money was spent on the three of a kind ad. we had to get a rick santorum ad out. he was number one. the people in michigan know what we're doing. we want them to work hard. we're in for a marathon run. this isn't going to be over very quickly, very easy. i can tell you this, if ron paul got the ring of power, he'd throw it in mount doom. it's not about glory and power for him. it's about reforming this government and bring

that had completely embraced the language of nonviolence as influenced by martin luther king and gandhiparticular understanding of islam or particular school of thought within islam. >> mystical. >> exactly. so -- based in southern syria. it was very important in the early stages of the revolution because they basically tried to marry a language of islam and with the language of establishing civil democratic state through pacifist means. >> i want to talk about nonviolence and violence and where syria is head order that spectrum and about what the world should be doing about what's happening in syria right after we take this break.

opinion that those who try to defend the independents of their countries following on the road of gandhia, and george washington, and amir, and sultan , and others, those, i s are classified as terrorists and pryers working outside national legitimacy. those trying to preserve their countries saved from creative chaos and terror have become violaters of human rights and killers of their own people. those who win the support of the majority of their people have lost legitimacy and have to step down. it's rlly strge these days, mr. president, that some al gashing ky -- alogarchy states draft resolutions alternating power, the promotion of democracy and promotion of human rights and that those very states who don't even have a constitution let alone a genuine electoral system and only exercise democracy through satellite stations and fancy halls, those same countries, i say, unfortunately, resolve to the security counsel for reform and for democracy. mr. president, a parliament in 1919, by that time in one year after the fall of the empire while lawrence of arabia was reeking havoc with the

giuliani will kill terrorists with his bare hands or that barack obama's serene wisdom would make gandhily? [laughter] >> what's wrong with them. they work. why so many negative ads, 1992, they work. is there any reason they're not useful information device for voters? >> well, i think sometimes they are quite useful. i think, you know, obviously there's one thing that was inaccurate in the super pac ads against gingrich from romney but i felt otherwise they were probably giving people useful information that they needed to have about certain parts of his background. >> the test for all these ads, are they true? and is it important? >> well, i mean, there's true and there's true. you know, mark twain talks about lies, and statistics and there's a whole other category which i think are political ads which are kind of lies where something is, what mike murphy described as pejoratively true yes it's true but it's totally taken out of context so without the context it's very misleading and so, you know, dukakis, yes, that furlough program took place when he was governor. but it was invented

>> no, i didn't slam the door, because i'm kind of a gandhi-like figure. in the old days i -- >> the new cramer? >> look, anger management goes very far in these situations. >> talk about anger -- >> the governor of new jersey, chris christie with harsh words for the oracle of omaha. he was sounding off for the call for the rich to pay more. he expressed his frustration to cnn's piers morgan. >> he should just write a check and shut up, really, and just contribute. the fact of the matter is i'm tired of hearing about it. if he wants to give the government more money, he has the ability to written a check. >> i've heard the same refrain from so many people. who typically earning lots of money. many of my friends saying the same thing, from the hedge fund -- just write the check, i pay enough in taxes. it's a debate that will not end anytime soon. >> but christie is trying to get tax relief for jersey after being stringent austere. he has some street cred. personally i wish he wouldn't say a word that you try to teach your kids not to use. >> but -- >> i tir
