Six years ago, I was waiting at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi’s International Airport, hoping to get out to Hyderabad on the final flight of the night. Due to Delhi’s infamous winter “fog,” which is partially due to people burning trash for heat, many flights had been canceled. The terminal was tiny and dirty, with no place for the many delayed passengers to sit. Tempers flared.

- Palestinian nonviolence relies on global non-silence | Yousef Munayyer
The world cannot expect Palestinians to abandon violence while remaining silent on Israel's repression of nonviolent activistsWhen will there be a Palestinian Gandhi? I'm often asked this question by people who sympathise with Palestinian suffering but are uncomfortable associating themselves with resistance movements that they see as violent or terrorist.The reality of course is that Palestinian nonviolent resisters are not only active today but have a long and storied history in the Palestinian struggle. The real question is: why haven't we heard about them?Like many resisting oppression, Palestinian Gandhis are likely to be found in prisons after being repressed by Israeli soldiers or police or in the hospital after being brutally beaten or worse.In recent years, the Israeli repression of Palestinian nonviolent dissent has increased significantly and Israel is showing signs of transforming into a fully-fledged police state. Even Israeli citizens, both Palestinian such as Ameer Makhoul and Jewish, have faced intimidation in one form or another for being critical of Israel's policies. Surely, Israel has realised that its ongoing occupation, continued colonisation of Palestinian land, and its bombardment of civilian-packed Gaza have significantly and negatively impacted on its image abroad. The images of nonviolent Palestinian protests against the Israeli occupation aren't helping Israel's reputation either.Perhaps that is why recently many nonviolent activists and initiatives have been shut down and repressed. Jamal Juma, Muhammad Othman and Abdallah Abu Rahman may not be household names like Gandhi or Mandela but they have been just as consistent in resisting Israel's illegal segregation wall in the West Bank by organising nonviolent demonstrations for years.

As the film about Aung San Suu Kyi's life nears completion, tell us which biopics get it right and which ones deserve to be madeThe story of Aung San Suu Kyi's life currently being translated in film as The Lady, starring Michelle Yeoh, is near completion. The movie is eagerly awaited by admirers of Aung San Suu Kyi's political courage, but others have criticised what will possibly be Hollywood's trivialisation of her achievements.Biopics certainly are a tricky genre to get right: Gandhi, with Ben Kingsley and Spike Lee's Malcolm X were both lauded by critics, while the same couldn't be said about Braveheart or, even worse, Alexander.

- Letters: A hero for peace
Further to your article (We have the Cenotaph, 12 July) and letters (17 July), there is one war heroine whose bust – if installed – could become a peace memorial in London. Noor Inayat Khan, George Cross, Croix du Guerre, was an SOE agent who believed in non-violence. She was a Sufi writer and musician who volunteered for her dangerous mission because of her opposition to fascism. Daughter of the Sufi preacher, Hazrat Inayat Khan, Noor Inayat Khan left an impact even on her brutal captors, who later broke down when recalling her. Despite repeated torture she revealed nothing about her organisation and colleagues, unlike many who cracked under pressure.She was an ardent admirer of Gandhi and a bust of her in Gordon Square or Tavistock Square (where Gandhi is remembered), could be a part of the peace walk suggested by Jan Melichar of the Peace Pledge Union. Valerie Vaz MP has tabled an early day motion backing the call for a memorial. The gentle Noor Inayat Khan, who was brutally tortured and killed in Dachau concentration camp, deserves this honour.Shrabani BasuAuthor, Spy Princess, The Life of Noor Inayat KhanSecond world warTortureguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Spain's lie still hurts Western Sahara | Miguel-Anxo Murado
The outrage in Spain at Zapatero's failure to condemn the violent clampdown in Western Sahara reflects a historical guiltThe Spanish president, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, is having a tough time. No, on this occasion it is not the economy. Actually, it's something far removed from our everyday concerns; it couldn't be more far removed, in fact: the desert. Protests in the Morocco-occupied (and former Spanish colony) Western Sahara have been met with a violent clampdown, but the Spanish government has so far resisted calls to issue a condemnation. The government says it knows little of what's going on there, and that's true, since Morocco is detaining and expelling foreign journalists from the area. The government keeps saying it has to consider Spain's higher interest, but the Spanish public is outraged. To an outside observer, this level of anger over a seemingly faraway land may seem excessive. And it is, in a way. The Western Sahara is one of Spain's secret passions.It all began with a lie. It was precisely 35 years ago, in November 1975. Back then Morocco pre-empted the referendum that should have led to an independent Western Sahara, in keeping with UN resolutions. The Sahrawi, whose flag sports the same colours as the Palestinians, counted on Spain's protection. But in a clever move, King Hassan II of Morocco sent over the militarised border hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians (the green march) to force Spain either to back down or cause a massacre. Gandhi's book annotated by Milosevic. The timing was perfect: Spain's dictator, General Franco, was terminally ill, only days away from his death. In his last cabinet meeting, he had electrodes attached to his chest and a team of doctors was monitoring his heart from a nearby room.

- Letters: Tolerance is a tricky business
Perhaps we should burn all the Qur'ans and, while we're at it, all the Bibles and any other book that, judging by recent events, teaches us to make enemies of those who disagree with us. Whoops! I think I've just done that myself. Tolerance is a tricky business, isn't it? Even for an atheist. But maybe a sense of humour would help (Comment, 14 September).Jan McCannTotnes, Devon• At last someone has spoken the truth about religions; the suppression of women and attempted control of nature's driving force, sex. If the Carpenter of Nazareth was around today, what would he make of these ridiculous old men prancing around in their fancy dress? How dare they, in their celibacy, having no inkling of normal life, lay down their ludicrous rules for the rest of us. Bravo Polly!Joy PeachWhitby, North Yorkshire• Wouldn't it be nice if we could hear for once from Polly Toynbee and co of some of the many good things of the Christian religion – education, healing, housing and hope to countless many, often in the most deprived circumstances.Rev John Wheeler Twickenham, Middlesex • We would surely welcome the pope more if he arrived in sackcloth and ashes; not in a £20m circus, wearing scarlet shoes and silk soutanes, but more like Christ, in humility – like Gandhi in 1931, wearing homespun cotton.

- Unthinkable? First-class travel for MPs | Editorial
There will be occasions when an MP really will need the quiet, the table and the greater privacy which first-class can better provideThe menu of reasons why MPs and ministers should not travel first-class at the public's expense is extensive. Here is a selection. To be reminded, Gandhi-like, how people live. To spite the snobs, like the former MP Sir Nicholas Winterton. To ensure public money is sparingly used. And, above all, because first-class is much more expensive. Except that actually that isn't necessarily true. Suppose that, in a few weeks' time, William Hague, after a weekend in his constituency, boards a Monday morning train from Darlington to London and returns early the following Friday evening. If he makes the journey on an anytime standard-class return ticket it will cost him, and thus us, £255. Yet if he picks the right non-stop trains, he can currently do it booking in advance in first-class for £157, saving taxpayers £98. Consider Nick Clegg, making the equivalent return journeys from his Sheffield constituency to London and back. An open-ended standard ticket will cost Mr Clegg, and therefore us, £185. But if Mr Clegg is smart, he can make the journeys in first-class for £39, and get a free coffee and an orange into the bargain as well – saving £146. Of course the cheapest journey will mostly be with an advance standard-class ticket. But not invariably. And there will also be occasions, without endorsing Wintertonian snobbery, when an MP or minister really will need the quiet, the table and the greater privacy which first-class can better provide. Austerity is a good principle, but common sense is an even better one.MPs' expensesRail transportguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Condit _NULL_
- Survival of dynasties in south Asia attests to the legacy of British rule
Perhaps Birmingham wasn't such a bad place for the postponed debut of the latest member of the Bhutto clan to enter politicsIt was always an unlikely location for the crown prince of Pakistan to be formally presented to his nation. Birmingham is a long way from the bustle of Karachi, the bazaars of Peshawar or the barracks of Rawalpindi.But it was in the Midlands city that President Asif Ali Zardari, the current leader of Pakistan, was supposed to watch over the political coming out of his son Bilawal today.In the event, the investiture of the 21-year-old scion of the Bhutto dynasty was postponed – due to the humanitarian crisis back home in Pakistan. But that it will one day take place seems inevitable. The south Asian dynasties remain strong.In India, the great local democracy, Rahul Gandhi, 40, is almost certain to succeed the incumbent Manmoham Singh at some stage to become a fourth-generation prime minister, or at least principal candidate. In Bangladesh, the decades-old rivalry between Begum Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina Wazed for control of the country continues that between the late husband of one and the father of the other. Both died bloodily.In Burma, Nobel prize-winning opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of assassinated nationalist leader Aung San. In Sri Lanka, the son of controversial president Mahinda Rajapaksa has just won a seat in the family fief of Hambantota. At state or provincial level in all these countries, similar dynamics are at work.Experts point to different reasons for the tenacity of dynastic politics in the subcontinent. One is the need for any successful politician to bolster the hold on power by recruiting loyal retainers who will not defect for material gain; another is the importance of personalities in contests strippe おそらく、バーミンガムはブット氏の最新のメンバの延期デビューなど悪い所politicsItを入力するありませんでした常にパキスタンの皇太子の低い場所に正式に彼の国に提示された
- The Empire Strikes Back: Indian Art Today | Visual art review
Saatchi Gallery, LondonThe Empire Strikes Back is a wet punch. One might expect Charles Saatchi to show just the sorts of things that are presented: a stuffed camel in a suitcase, a taxidermied dog morphing with a furry vacuum cleaner, photographs of veiled women whose burkas turn out to be pixelated with tiny porn shots, yet more of Subodh Gupta's over-familiar sculptures made from cooking utensils, a black medical cot piled high with tarry mattresses that breathe wheezily to the power of compressed air. There are painted gags about Jasper Johns, dystopian jokes about technology, including a rattling old Xerox machine with half its gubbins missing, and an army of figures made from old floor lamps, neon tubes, discarded bits of plumbing. I see a GCSE-level art project coming on.This isn't to say that The Empire Strikes Back is all bad. Some pieces are worse than bad, others just obvious. A speech by Gandhi spelled out in bones adds nothing to any argument. It just took a long time to make. T Venkanna's reworked versions of Douanier Rousseau are fun and sexy, and so is Chitra Ganesh's cartoon of a liberated Indian superwoman. Rashid Rana's pixelated view of an endless sea of rubbish is queasily beautiful, and – best of all – Yamini Nayar's photographs of half-abandoned rooms take us somewhere strange and oddly threatening.A lot of the work looks exoticised for the gallery, the artists playing up their post-colonial otherness as a gimmick, rather than making art of substance. This exhibition gives us no clearer view of the art of a subcontinent than did a recent Serpentine gallery exhibition. There's also no film or video – areas where some of the best work is made.Until 7 May.

Some of the last of Mahatma Gandhi's ashes, kept in secret for decades by a family friend, will be scattered at sea off South Africa's coast on Saturday, 62 years after his assassination, his family said. After a radical nationalist shot Gandhi on January 30, 1948, he was cremated according to Hindu custom.Normally, ashes are immersed in rivers or the sea within days, but for Gandhi, his remains were divided to many urns and sent around India and across the globe so his followers could hold memorials. 暗殺の一部は、マハトマガンジーの遺灰は、最後に秘密裏に数十年間、家族の友人で、保。土曜日に南アフリカの沖合で海に散在する62年後、彼の家族と述べた

- From the archive: Mrs Gandhi India's Premier
Originally published on 20 January 1966NEW DELHI, JANUARY 19Mrs Indira Gandhi, aged 48, the daughter of the late Mr Nehru, became India's new Prime Minister today in succession to Mr Shastri.She was elected leader of the ruling Congress Party by a massive majority, defeating the ascetic and conservative Morarji Desai, a former Finance Minister, who was at one time thought of as Mr Nehru's logical successor.This was Mr Desai's second defeat in the battle for succession. Twenty months ago he was vanquished by Mr Shastri.As Prime Minister of 480 million Indians, Mrs Gandhi becomes the world's most powerful woman, although she must concede to Ceylon's Mrs Bandaranaike the distinction of being the first woman Prime Minister in history.Mrs Gandhi pledged herself to serve the Congress Party and the country, and declared her adherence to the path shown by Gandhi, Nehru, and Shastri. A detailed policy statement will be issued by her only next week, after her cabinet is sworn in at the end of the mourning for Mr Shastri.But she said today that she would try to consolidate the peace with Pakistan for the sake of which Mr Shastri laid down his life, and she added that India's defences would be strengthened simultaneously. Mrs Gandhi is more radical than her father, and certainly more radical that Mr Shastri. It is doubtful if there will be any sharp switch in India's foreign and economic policies, although some shift of emphasis should not be ruled out.A woman's castleFor Indira Gandhi to be elected Prime Minister of India is as easy as it would be difficult for Barbara Castle to be elected Prime Minister of Britain. In India nothing stands in the way of women going to the very top.
