ABSTRACT
At the beginning of the 21st century, amongst the many Indian personalities, to whom the author will add one from Bangladesh, who seem to him the most worthy heirs of Mahatma Gandhi's heritage he should like to name Amartya Sen and Mohammed Yunus from Bangladesh, both economists and Nobel Prize winners, the first for Economics in 1998 and the second for Peace. Each one of them, with his or her own special genius and talent, continues the fantastic work undertaken by Gandhi in the name of a non-violent resistance that includes the virtues of dignity, liberty, culture. The committed intellectual knows that India is staring at its destiny, she knows also that Gandhi showed Indians the path of peaceful but inflexible resistance. Peace for which he is paying the highest price, but Mohammad Yunus knows, also, the price Gandhi had to pay to arrive at his goal.
