(a) Wardha, 5th January 1935.—On the 25th December, Mahatma Gandhi visited the R.S.S. camp at Wardha, Hedgewar, Bhopatkar, Naik and Sir M. V. Joshi also attended. Hedgewar and L. B. Bhopatkar, were given a public reception on arrival at the railway station and escorted round the town by the R.S.S. band etc. In the afternoon, H. K. Joshi explained that this was the 7th session and pleaded for pecuniary help. Hedgewar spoke on discipline and stressed physical fitness to enable the boys to bear arms when the time arose. He, however, urged them to disobey even their parents if the latter went against the Sangh's rules. Bhopatkar urged an increase of R. S. S. members. He pointed out how Shivaji had routed the Mohammadans. Shivaji's guru, Ramdas, had told Shivaji to kill anyone who stood in the way, and Shivaji did so. After the Mohammadans, the British came on the scene over 150 years ago, and were still ruling India in a most unsatisfactory fashion. Hence a strong R. S. S. was needed. Shivaji overpowered Aurangzeb, and they must emulate Shivaji. The speaker condemned the peaceful tactics of Gandhi and said that non-violent methods did not appeal to him. However, this was not the time to explain his views. When the necessity arose he would do so. Page 56, Para 69. 69.

He then proceeded with Tikekar, Kale, Samiulla Khan etc, to Bagarganj where he inspected the leather tanning factory, and on his way to Dhantoli he visited the Imambada Harijan Pathshale. Later, he opened the Khadi "bhandar" at Sitaburdi in the presence of about 200 persons. In the evening a public meeting was held in the Chitnavis Park. About 10,000 persons were present including about 1,000 women, Mrs. Kale presided and opened the proceedings. Gandhi said that the use of khadi could be increased by organized rural activities. Concerning his Village Industries Scheme, he regarded it as a divine mission. The scheme could lead India to her original reputation of being a land of gold. He further explained that no country excepting India and China was fortunate enough in possessing such animmense living machinery in the shape of a vast population. The introduction of machine power would result in the unemployment of crores of her children with consequent starvation. In conclusion he appealed for public support for the success of this adventure in the later part of his life. It was noticeable that the Poonamchand group took no part in the above functions. 1935] FOREIGNERS VISITED M. K. GANDHI 247 Page 188, Para. 244. 244.

  • Gandhi Warrior of Non-Violence P
    SATYAGRAHA IN ACTION Indians who had spent nearly all their lives in South Africi Gandhi was able to get assistance for them from South India an appeal was made to the Supreme Court and the deportation system was ruled illegal. Meantime, the satyagraha movement continued, although more slowly as a result of government prosecution of the Indians and the animosity of white people to whom Indian merchants owed money. They demanded immediate payment of the entire sum due. The Indians could not, of course, meet their demands. Freed from jail once again in 1909, Gandhi decided that he must go to England to get more help for the Indians in Africa. He hoped to see English leaders and to place the problems before them, but the visit did little beyond acquainting those leaders with the difficulties Indians faced in Africa. In his nearly half year in Britain Gandhi himself, however, became a little more aware of India’s own position. On his way back to South Africa he wrote his first book. Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule. Written in Gujarati and later translated by himself into English, he wrote it on board the steamer Kildonan Castle. Instead of taking part in the usual shipboard life he used a packet of ship’s stationery and wrote the manuscript in less than ten days, writing with his left hand when his right tired. Hind Swaraj appeared in Indian Opinion in instalments first; the manuscript then was kept by a member of the family. Later, when its value was realized more clearly, it was reproduced in facsimile form.

  • Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948)
    The following text was originally published in PROSPECTS: the quarterly review of education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol. 23, no. 3/4, 1993, p. 507–17. ©UNESCO: International Bureau of Education, 1999 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI (1869–1948) Krishna Kumar Rejection of the colonial education system, which the British administration had established in the early nineteenth century in India, was an important feature of the intellectual ferment generated by the struggle for freedom. Many eminent Indians, political leaders, social reformers and writers voiced this rejection. But no one rejected colonial education as sharply and as completely as Gandhi did, nor did anyone else put forward an alternative as radical as the one he proposed. Gandhi’s critique of colonial education was part of his overall critique of Western civilization. Colonization, including its educational agenda, was to Gandhi a negation of truth and non-violence, the two values he held uppermost. The fact that Westerners had spent ‘all their energy, industry, and enterprise in plundering and destroying other races’ was evidence enough for Gandhi that Western civilization was in a ‘sorry mess’.1 Therefore, he thought, it could not possibly be a symbol of ‘progress’, or something worth imitating or transplanting in India. It would be wrong to interpret Gandhi’s response to colonial education as some kind of xenophobia. It would be equally wrong to see it as a symptom of a subtle revivalist dogma. If it were possible to read Gandhi’s ‘basic education’ plan as an anonymous text in the history of world education, it would be conveniently classified in the tradition of Western radical humanists like Pestalozzi, Owen, Tolstoy and Dewey.

    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

  • GANDHI, CITIZENSHIP, and the IDEA of a GOOD CIVIL SOCIETY Vinay Lal
    GANDHI, CITIZENSHIP, AND THE IDEA OF A GOOD CIVIL SOCIETY Vinay Lal [Author’s Preface: This approximates the text of the Dr. Mohan Singh Mehta Memorial Lecture, delivered at Vidya Bhawan, Udaipur, on 19 April 2008. I am grateful to Shri Vijay Mehta, President of the Mohan Singh Mehta Memorial Trust, and Shri Ajay Mehta, President of Seva Mandir, for honoring me with their kind invitation, and to Shri Jagat Mehta, former Foreign Secretary to the Government of India, for his warm hospitality during my brief stay in Udaipur. This lecture is a small tribute to Dr. Mohan Singh Mehta, whose vast array of activities extended from the arenas of administration, governance, and diplomacy to education and a wide range of social services. Bhaisaheb, as Dr. Mehta came to be known to the citizens of Udaipur and in particular to the people who worked under his leadership, appears to have been one of the more successful institution builders in India, and both Vidya Bhawan and Seva Mandir occupy a hugely significant place in the socio- economic and cultural history of Udaipur. I would also like to place on record my appreciation of Ms. Neelima Khetan, Chief Executive Officer of Seva Mandir, whose superb command of at least two languages was amply on display as she rendered my lecture into chaste, mellifluous and accurate Hindi. And, finally, my thanks to the citizens of Udaipur for turning out in such numbers and staying with me through thick and thin.] Sixty years after his assassination, it can scarcely be doubted that Mohandas Gandhi was the most singular figure anywhere in the world during the twentieth century.
