Hyderabad: Gandhiji was an epoch-making personality.

Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan, Vice-Chancellor, MANUU presided over.
The School of Education & Training, Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) organised the lecture.
Continuing his lecture, Prof. Sharma said for all of us Gandhiji’s life is an open book which is not separated into private and public chapters. Unfortunately we, the Indians are falling short of valuing his great contributions to the humanity while people from all over the world have been admiring his charismatic personality, he added.
Prof. Ainul Hasan said no leader was invited to the Round Table Conference but Gandhi, because the British government also realized that Gandhi is a person who is dominant. The messages of truth and non-violence that Gandhiji spread are still priceless for the world. We have to put his thoughts into action, he added.
