His innovative thinking pushed him to sky height that cannot be touched until and unless one becomes as great as him. His thought was not for one but all soul of the earth where every one will be independent for his own shake and helpful for all as well without harming other. Gandhi’s idea was the synthesis of Tolstoy and Ruskin’s ideas. Tolstoy’s book “ The Kingdom of God within You” and Ruskin’s “Unto This Last” had a great influenced on Gandhi.
