Food for Thought: Saint Tukaram and Mahatma Gandhi

सत्य असत्याशी मन केले ग्वाही।
मानियले नाही । बहुमता।।

— संत तुकाराम

Meaning: We should not accept anything as truth just because it is followed by the majority; rather, we should find out what the truth is, based on reason and rationality.
— Saint Tukaram (17th century)

“In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place” — Mahatma Gandhi

Same thought. 275-300 years apart.
