11. Conclusion
Indian history never saw such an upsurge of faith, united
will, community feeling and social development, without
any expensive spending as in the Gandhian Age from the
grass root level. He himself was a means of
communication for the people between the British and the
Indians, as he had a well formed conception about the
motherland and her people, their needs and their mind set
which helped him to attain millions of disciples and act as a
positive social worker with the help of traditional ways of
communication.
