The Governor, who administered a pledge against untouchability to school students, officers and staff of the Raj Bhavan here, said he is humbled and inspired by Bapu's vision of Bharat.

Paying rich tributes to Gandhi, Stalin said, "He (Gandhi) ensured unity among Indians through non-violence, but became a victim to a violent fanatic.
