The object of this massive tribute...
:04:24
...died as he had always lived:
:04:26
A private man...
:04:27
...without wealth...
:04:28
...without property...
:04:30
...without official title or office.
:04:33
Mahatma Gandhi...
:04:35
...was not the commander of armies...
:04:37
...nor a ruler of vast lands.
:04:39
He could not boast
any scientific achievement...
:04:42
...or artistic gift.
:04:44
Yet men...
:04:46
...governments, dignitaries
from all over the world...
:04:50
...have joined hands today
to pay homage...
:04:53
...to this little brown man
in the loincloth...
:04:55
...who led his country to freedom.
:04:59
In the words of
General George C. Marshall...
:05:02
...the American secretary of state:
:05:04
"Mahatma Gandhi has become
the spokesman...
:05:08
...for the conscience of all mankind.
:05:11
He was a man...
:05:12
...who made humility...
:05:14
...and simple truth...
:05:16
...more powerful than empires."
:05:19
And Albert Einstein added:
:05:22
"Generations to come will scarce
believe that such a one as this...
:05:26
...ever in flesh and blood...
:05:28
...walked upon this earth."
