According to Gandhi:

The correct answer is Ends and Means are interrelated

Explanation:

Key Points

•  Mahatma Gandhi strongly endorsed the idea that ends and means are closely interrelated, a concept also known as the "Doctrine of Ends and Means".
• According to him, immoral means could never yield moral ends. Gandhi held the principle that the methods used to achieve an objective should be as morally upright as the objective itself.
• For Gandhi, means were the seed and ends were the tree which grows out of it. If the means are corrupt, the end result, according to Gandhi, can not be moral or just even if it appears to be beneficial on the surface.
• This belief significantly influenced his use of non-violence (ahimsa) and truth (satya) as means to achieve political and social changes (the ends), such as India's independence.
• His approach emphasized the need to maintain ethical integrity during the process of striving towards goals, to ensure that the outcomes are truly valuable. In essence, the justification of the ends by the means used was central to Gandhi's philosophy and practice.
