MAHATAMA GANDHI

As we all know, India is a Land of Mahatama Gandhi, who is being titled as “Father of the Nation”. It has been seventy years since Mahatma Gandhi departed from our midst. Nevertheless, his life and soul continue to animate humanity transcending national and international boundaries. His contribution to human development is far too great and varied to have been forgotten or to be overlooked. The world today recognizes him as a far more compelling social innovator than humanity ever realized.

Mahatama Gandhi recognises as a universal icon of “Peace Messenger”, for the people of the world surrounded by fire of violence. As the history says, he saved India and Britain from mutual hate and revenge by resorting to the experiment of Truth and Non-violence in India’s struggle for freedom. This created an atmosphere, which made it possible for other countries of Asia and Africa to free themselves without bloodshed from the hold of the European countries, which had subdued them in the nineteenth century.

He invented the techniques of mass –civil disobedience in South Africa, which were later emulated in India and across the world.
