Life and Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2nd, 1869 in Porbandar, a coastal town in present-day Gujarat. He studied law in London and then moved to South Africa, where he worked as a lawyer and became involved in the struggle for civil rights for Indians living there. It was during this time that Gandhi developed his philosophy of non-violent resistance, which he called Satyagraha.

Gandhi returned to India in 1915 and became a leader in the Indian independence movement. He led several campaigns of non-violent civil disobedience against British rule, including the Salt March in 1930 and the Quit India movement in 1942. Gandhi’s philosophy and leadership were instrumental in India’s eventual independence from British rule in 1947.

Gandhi’s legacy extends far beyond India’s independence struggle. He is revered around the world for his philosophy of non-violent resistance and his advocacy for social justice and human rights. His teachings have inspired countless movements for peace and justice, including the American civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr.

Celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti

Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated throughout India with great enthusiasm. Government offices, schools, and businesses are closed for the day, and many people participate in parades and other public events. The day is also marked by prayer services and other religious observances.

One of the most popular ways to celebrate Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti is by participating in a Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or Clean India Campaign. This initiative, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, aims to clean up the streets, roads, and infrastructure of India. On Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, many people participate in clean-up drives and other activities to promote cleanliness and hygiene.

Another popular way to celebrate Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti is by reading or reciting his teachings. Many schools and community organizations organize readings of Gandhi’s writings, including his autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, and his collected works, The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi.

The Relevance of Mahatma Gandhi Today

Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings and philosophy remain relevant today, both in India and around the world. His advocacy for non-violent resistance and social justice has inspired countless movements for peace and justice, including the civil rights movement in the United States and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.

In India, Gandhi’s teachings continue to inspire social and political movements. One example is the Anna Hazare-led movement against corruption in 2011, which drew inspiration from Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violent resistance.

Gandhi’s teachings also have relevance in today’s global context. In a world marked by conflict and violence, his philosophy of non-violent resistance offers a powerful alternative to the use of force. His advocacy for social justice and human rights remains as important today as it was during his lifetime.
