  • An Analysis of the Influence of the Ideas and Personality of Mahatma Gandhi on Gujarati Literature
    © 2018 JETIR December 2018, Volume 5, Issue 12 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE IDEAS AND PERSONALITY OF MAHATMA GANDHI ON GUJARATI LITERATURE Dr. Darshini Dadawala Assistant Professor Department of Gujarati, Faculty of Arts The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda Vadodara, Gujarat, India Abstract: The ideas, anti-colonial movements and personality of Mahatma Gandhi had had a profound influence on different walks of life in India in the 20th century. Culture and literature of the various Indian languages also came under his spell. Probably the greatest impact of Gandhian ideas was felt in the literature of his native Gujarati language, so much so that the period of three decades beginning 1915 is designated as the Gandhian era (Gandhi Yug) by historiographers of Gujarati literature. This article analyzes in what ways Gandhi’s ideas and India’s freedom struggle transformed the orientation of Gujarati literature from elites to the common masses. It also brings out the key characteristics of Gandhi’s own writings in Gujarati and his contribution to the standardization of Gujarati dictionary. Index Terms - Mahatma Gandhi, Gujarati Literature, Gandhi Yug, Nationalism, Indian Literature I. Introduction: Good writing requires both creativity and inspiration as its essential prerequisites. While creativity is generally an outcome of the internal process of an author, inspiration is derived from an external source. Quite often, such an external source is a great personality who has motivated others through his words, ideas and actions. Mahatma Gandhi was one such person who proved to be a great source of inspiration for a generation of writers and litterateurs during his lifetime and afterwards, not just in India but also in other countries of the world.
