India’s essential challenge is to take up Gandhi’s mantle and boldly imagine a future that is different from the West’s present. Of course, no one is under the illusion that India or any other country will abandon its cities for a life as simple as the one Gandhi strove to live; but that doesn’t mean that India can’t look to Gandhi’s core values for inspiration.
印度目前的挑战是，如何重新继承甘地的衣钵，和目前的西方走一条完全不同的发展道路。当然没有人让印度放弃城市的生活，毕竟，甘地生活的时代已经一去不复返。但这并不表明我们不能继承甘地思想的核心价值。
