What Would Gandhi Do If He Were Alive Today?

Gandhi lived in a very different world.

There was no internet, social media, smartphones, artificial intelligence, or modern 24-hour news cycle.

So here's a question I'd like to explore as a series:

If Gandhi were alive today, how would he respond to the problems of the modern world?

For example:

- Would Gandhi use social media?

- Would he use AI?

- How would he respond to online hate and misinformation?

- Would he protest against governments through modern forms of satyagraha?

- What would he think about today's education system?

- How would he approach Hindu–Muslim tensions today?

- Would he support modern capitalism and billionaires?

- What would his idea of swadeshi mean in a globalized economy?

- How would he respond to climate change?

- Would he use YouTube to spread his ideas?

- How would he deal with people who deliberately spread hatred against him?

I don't think we can simply claim, "Gandhi would definitely do X."

Instead, I'd like to take his documented writings, speeches, and principles—especially ahimsa, satyagraha, truth, swaraj, and sarvodaya—and ask:

What might those principles look like if Gandhi had to apply them to the 21st century?

Let's discuss one situation at a time.

What do you think Gandhi would do first if he suddenly found himself in today's world?

If humanity were mere propaganda, the world would not still remember names from Gandhi to Mandela.
