Gandhiji created a wonderful political awareness in the country, while leading the movement of National Independence. He handed over the suffering humanity of world a new weapon named Ahimsa (Non-violence) to solve the then burning problems of the world which was suffering from two world wars and socio – economic crises.
Gandhiji was a great statesman who presented the substitute of communism and capitalism before the world. His peaceful and non-violent thought’s showed the world suffering from war and violence, a new remedy and a new way. The thought of Gandhiji is a singular experiment of political and philosophical awareness. Gandhiji gave a complete and extra – ordinary means of salvation to the world, which is his Gandhian philosophy, in our constitution.
A clear effect of Gandhism can be seen on fundamental rights and directive principles of state policy in our constitution. The social equality, end of untouchbility system, prohibition of alcohol, decentralization of governance, etc are largely influenced by Gandhiji’s ideas. To counteract the increasing communal trend, the moderate form of religion, the concept of respect for all religions Gandhiji propounded are very meaningful even today.
Gandhiji’s principles are not only relevant to the present time but also a need of the hour. At the initiative of our Prime Minister, the cleanliness campaign is a direct and practical manifestation of Gandhism. The awareness of common man has increased today. Due to this campaign, the standard of living in the country has risen up and the health of common man has also improved.
Today, the entire world is facing the problem of terrorism. The main cause of this problem is that some individuals or groups of individuals are using violence to make their demands. Gandhism alone can solve the burning problems of the world. The present youths are unable to get jobs.
Gandhiji wanted to promote cottage industries in large scale in India, Through self employment Gandhiji wanted to enable they youths of the country self dependent for their livelihood.
Gandhiji wanted to see the villages self sufficient in all respects.He wanted to check migration of villagers to our crowding cities. His philosophy is based on the fundamental human values in which there is a message of human emancipation.
