I think of Gandhi in the months before he was assassinated. His life's last battle was to ensure that Muslims get a fair deal from the division of this country: not even the Muslims who chose to remain in India, but those who had opted for Pakistan. In the shadow of Partition, one can speculate how unpopular his stand was. It ultimately cost him his life. But he never flinched from what he believed was just and right. We do need to find a little of Gandhi again today.
