  • Gandhi 150: “Absorb Whatever Appears Good in My Life”
    Mainstream Weekly Mainstream, VOL LVI No 41 New Delhi September 29, 2018 Gandhi 150: “Absorb whatever appears good in my life” Saturday 29 September 2018 by D.M. Diwakar I. Introduction The stage is all set to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi with great fanfare on October 2, 2019. It is a pleasant moment for a proud nation to pay sincere gratitude and tributes to the Father of the Nation. This is also an occasion to remember his ideals, vision, philosophy, programmes and actions, a moment for an introspection to review critically the journey that we have made so far and pledge ourselves with commitments and determination to fine-tune, customise, and adapt those elements and values as our future destinations and course of actions to work for the reconstruction of a non-violent order in society, nation and the world that should be free from structural violence. This exercise is intended to flag some issues through Gandhi’s lens, based on a brief recapitulation of his writings about what he was observing on his birthday in his lifetime. The question arises: Can we find any insight from those observations during the lifetime of Mahatma Gandhi for today? An attempt is made here to focus on the issues that he had been flagging. Is there any message from those documents for today? In other words, if Gandhi would have been with us today what would have been his way of observing his birthday? I will rely mainly on the Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi (CWMG) for this purpose.

  • Congress Activities 1944
    Congress Activities 1944 Congressmen in Gujerat Districts have been returned unopposed during the recent elections to local bodies. A statement issued in this connection by prominent Congressmen of Gujerat like Jiwanlal H. Diwan and Khandubhai K. Desai declares that the underlying intention of contesting these elections is not to work the adminstration of these bodies but to show the extent of Congress influence over the public, the people's faith in the Congress policy and hatred towards the present policy of Government. The Gujerat Congress Seva Dal opened a “Workers' Training Class” in the premises of the Gujerat Vidyapith, Ahmedabad, from May 5th. About 100 candidates have joined. An informal meeting of about 50 Congressmen was held at Bombay on May 9th under the presidentship of Nagindas T. Master when resolutions were adopted (1) reiterating the unflinching faith of Congressmen in Gandhi's leadership and (2) exhorting all Congressmen to continue the constructive programme of the Congress, offer help to the victims of the recent explosions and render assistance in redressing the hardship caused by food shortage, famine and disease. M. R. Masani, H. R. Pardiwala, Joachim Alva, Mrs. Violet Alva and Ishwarbhai S. Patel were prominent amongst those attended. At Poona about 25 Congressmen assembled on May 21st under the presidentship of V. P. Limaye and appointed a Committee with B. M. Gupte as President and A. T. Dandavate as Secretary to organise collections for the Kasturba Memorial Fund and 5,000 spindles of yarn to be presented to M. K. Gandhi on his next birth-day.

  • Topic :- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
    DR. JYOTI PRABHA ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY M.R.M. COLLEGE, L.N.M.U., DARBHANGA 2ND SEMESTER, SESSION: 2019-21 CC- 5 : HISTORY OF IDEAS UNIT- 1: HISTORY OF IDEAS, ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL TOPIC :- MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi ( 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule, and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: "great-souled", "venerable"), first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world. Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, western India, Gandhi was trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, and called to the bar at age 22 in June 1891. After two uncertain years in India, where he was unable to start a successful law practice, he moved to South Africa in 1893 to represent an Indian merchant in a lawsuit. He went on to stay for 21 years. It was in South Africa that Gandhi raised a family, and first employed nonviolent resistance in a campaign for civil rights. In 1915, aged 45, he returned to India. He set about organizing peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, and above all for achieving Swaraj or self-rule.

  • The International Day of Non-Violence
    Remarks by H.E. Ambassador John W. Ashe President of the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly New York 2 October 2013 International Day of Non-Violence Please check against delivery 1 Ambassador Mukerji Excellencies, Secretary-General, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning. On this day when we in the international community observe the International Day of Non-violence, I am deeply honoured to be here with you on this occasion that promotes the universal relevance of the principle of non-violence, and the values of peace, tolerance and understanding. We celebrate this day which is the birthday of one of history’s greatest advocates of non- violence, Mahatma Gandhi, who proved through the example of his life that the moral and spiritual power of non-violence is far greater than any form of physical force or human brutality. Gandhi Jayanti- as this day is known in India - is a unique opportunity for all of us to reflect upon the fact that Gandhi’s firm belief in the value of non-violence transcends borders and, I daresay, even time. What is so remarkable to so many across the world is that Gandhiji’s fundamental and unshakeable belief that non-violence was the strongest force for change in the world permeates across generations, cultural and religious boundaries. In fact, his legacy of thought and action is as relevant today as a beacon of hope in our troubled times to the men, women and children living under all forms of oppression, as it was to the men, women and children who embarked on the Civil Rights struggle in this our host country.
