Brazil - Nonviolence

Mahatma Gandhi's approach to achieving justice through non-violence is increasingly finding official acceptance in the world.

The Brazil Police is now studying ways of Mahatma Gandhi in an effort to curb violence. Under a project entitled "The Mahatma Gandhi and Non-Violence", the Sao Paolo police will brief the forces on Mahatma's peaceful opposition to British rule in India and applying pacifist methods to achieve justice.
