Two recent outsiders of the political spectrum are in the news, one the new Labour leader the other the Republican front runner in the US presidential race, Donald Trump. Corbyn is anti military wants peaceful resolution by negotiations the later is pro military and wants negotiation from strength. Each a reflection of the status of their respective countries might. One the world biggest military power the other a much smaller power. India is set to become the third world power after China and US. Mahatma Gandhi fought for Indian independence by a non violent peaceful struggle but Narendra Modi has to reflect the new status, as a growing military power, of the New India the result is, much of Gandhian thinking will be irrelevant to manage New India the very type which Corbyn espouses.
