US priest preaches Gandhi in Bengal
Published : November 13 2009
A Gandhian Catholic priest from Michigan in the United States visited a village in West Bengal to strengthen people’s non-violent resistance to a planned nuclear power project in their village.
Father Charles Peter Dougherty talked to people of Haripur about the value of non-violence and the strategy and tactics they should adopt to resist the federal government’s move to set up the nuclear plant.
Father Dougherty is in India to receive this year’s Jamnalal Bajaj Award for promoting Gandhian thought and philosophy outside India. He visited the village in East Midnapore on Nov. 10 to see how people were non-violently facing the power of the state.
