Mani Bhavan was the nerve centre in the city of Bombay (now Mumbai) for Gandhiji’s activities and movements. It was from here that Gandhiji launched the first nationwide satyagraha of Rowlett Act, started Khilafat and Non-operation movements. Today it stands as a memorial to Gandhiji’s life and teachings. _______ The most distinguished address in a quiet locality of Gamdevi in Mumbai is the historic building, Mani Bhavan - the house where Gandhiji stayed whenever he was in Mumbai from 1917 to 1934. Mani Bhavan belonged to Gandhiji’s friend Revashankar Jhaveri who was a jeweller by profession and elder brother of Dr Pranjivandas Mehta - Gandhiji’s friend from his student days in England. Gandhiji and Revashankarbhai shared the ideology of non-violence, truth and satyagraha and this was the bond of their empathetic friendship. Gandhiji respected Revashankarbhai as his elder brother as a result the latter was ever too happy to Volume 1 : Issue 07, November 2020 1 : Issue 07, November Volume host him at his house.

  • Dr. R. A. Mashelkar (FRS) As I Stand Before You
    Dr. R. A. Mashelkar (FRS) Chairman, Council of Advisors Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation As I stand before you, I remember the evening of 15 November 2018. Revered Justice Dharmadhikari rose to give his usual inspiring chairman‟s address at the awards function. As I was leaving the function, I touched his feet, as I always did, whenever I met him. Little did I realise that this is the last time I will be touching his feet. And also, little did I realise that the Board of Trustees of Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation will entrust me with the chairmanship of the Council of Advisors. I have accepted it with all humility, but also with a lot of trepidation, since I sit in the chair that has been previously occupied by legendary Justice Dharmadhikari, making it a special chair, a sacred chair. I have been associated with these most prestigious awards for well over a decade now. And I have learnt so much from Justice Dharmadhikari, whether he was delivering his insightful Chairman‟s addresses or bringing a balanced conclusion considering the fiercely independent and sometimes differing views of our great jury with his nuanced but firm remarks. He was well known for his deep insight, legal acumen, and above all, his zeal to give priority to human rights while rendering environmental justice. And he always coupled these with his Gandhian values. Indeed, he relentlessly protected the core values of social justice and equity all his life. To me, Justice Dharmadhikari was not an individual. He was an institution. An institution of integrity, conviction and courage.

  • Ms. Sonia Deotto When Our Heart Feels the Pain
    Ms. Sonia Deotto Recipient International Award 2019 for Promoting Gandhian Values outside India When our heart feels the pain of bees falling on the city cement, surrendering before the radiation emitted by our exasperated technology, the echoes of Mahatma Gandhi’s Hind Swaraj reach us in all their clarity: “This civilization is such that one has only to be patient and it will be self-destroyed”. On the other hand, when the people of a land called India treat you like a daughter, embracing your dream of serving peace, no matter the color of your skin, or your biological origin, the breath of life powerfully inhales the hope of reversing the process of this suicidal civilization. This unconditional love is what has driven me from the end of the past millennium to take a leap into the void. What in Italy used to be my empathy towards conceptual-social art, in India transmuted towards the “art of essence”, an art of the awareness of being one with the universe, beyond our limitations and prejudice: an alchemical instrument to transform the heart of others, and with them, struggle against violence in the world. Thanks to the wisdom of the teachers I have found in this search for truth, a perception of a World Mandala has become stronger: seen from outer space, the Mandala of our World emerges like a blue sphere in rotation and in perfect balance with earth, water, fire, and air, the basic elements of life which, interconnected, manifest in many forms. With this perception of inherent harmony, an aspiration arises to create instead of destroy, and with it, the intention to offer our hands, heart and head, to educate ourselves and educate each other in the practice of Ahimsa or love, the most powerful instrument of peace regeneration in the planet.

  • 1. RAJKOT the Struggle in Rajkot Has a Personal Touch About It for Me
    1. RAJKOT The struggle in Rajkot has a personal touch about it for me. It was the place where I received all my education up to the matricul- ation examination and where my father was Dewan for many years. My wife feels so much about the sufferings of the people that though she is as old as I am and much less able than myself to brave such hardships as may be attendant upon jail life, she feels she must go to Rajkot. And before this is in print she might have gone there.1 But I want to take a detached view of the struggle. Sardar’s statement 2, reproduced elsewhere, is a legal document in the sense that it has not a superfluous word in it and contains nothing that cannot be supported by unimpeachable evidence most of which is based on written records which are attached to it as appendices. It furnishes evidence of a cold-blooded breach of a solemn covenant entered into between the Rajkot Ruler and his people.3 And the breach has been committed at the instance and bidding of the British Resident 4 who is directly linked with the Viceroy. To the covenant a British Dewan5 was party. His boast was that he represented British authority. He had expected to rule the Ruler. He was therefore no fool to fall into the Sardar’s trap. Therefore, the covenant was not an extortion from an imbecile ruler. The British Resident detested the Congress and the Sardar for the crime of saving the Thakore Saheb from bankruptcy and, probably, loss of his gadi.

  • Section a -Reading (20 Marks)
    SECTION A -READING (20 MARKS) Q1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: (8 Marks) 1. One day Gandhiji and Vallabhbhai Patel were talking in the Yeravda jail when Gandhiji remarked, “At times even a dead snake can be of use.” And he related the following story to illustrate his point: Once a snake entered the house of an old woman. The old woman was frightened and cried out for help. Hearing her, the neighbours rushed up and killed the snake. Then they returned to their homes. Instead of throwing the dead snake far away, the old woman flung it onto her roof. 2. Sometime later a kite flying overhead spotted the dead snake. In its beak, the kite had a pearl necklace which it had picked up from somewhere. It dropped the necklace and flew away with the dead snake. When the old woman saw a bright, shining object on her roof she pulled it down with a pole. Finding that it was a pearl necklace she danced with joy! 3. One day a bania found a snake in his house. He could not find anyone to kill it for him and had not the courage to kill it himself. Besides, he hated killing any living creature. So, he covered the snake with a pot and let it there. 4. As luck would have it, that night some thieves broke into the bania’s house. They entered the kitchen and saw the overturned pot. “Ah”, they thought, “the bania has hidden something valuable here.” As they lifted the pot, the snake struck.

  • Civil Disobedience Movement
    CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: A CRUSADE Mahatma Gandhi's continental campaign of Civil Disobedience against the imperial Government in India was by for the most formidable challenge to British authority in India. Unprecedented as it was, the movement challenged the Government's moral authority and its power to control its subjects. Even the Viceroy of India, Ford Irwin had to admit, " Most of my thought at the moment is concentrated upon Gandhi. I wish I fell sure what the right way to deal with him is". The Viceroy was caught in the horns of a dilemma : he could neither arrest Gandhiji without serious consequences, nor could allow the spread of the movement throughout the country under the. Mahaima's inspiration. Irwin's Director of Public Information later pointed out : the Viceroy faced " a desperate dilemma". He was trying for a successful Round Table Conference to solve India's problem. The immediate arrest of Gandhiji would have hampered these efforts. Gandhiji himself put lrwin's dilemma as under : " The Government's plight is that of the serpent which has swallowed a rat. It would find it hard to resort to either course of action allowing me to remain out or putting me behind the bars". Gandhiji evoked a tremendous popular admiration which was never before enjoyed by any Indian. His rale in Indian politics was extraordinary, when seen against the barriers to national leadership created by regional divisions and communal tensions, and by the lack of proper mass media. A correct evaluation of Civil Disobedience Movement can be made from the following quotation : " MAHATMA GANDHI embarked upon the Civil Disobedience Movement with a sense of spiritual exaltation, guided not by reason but by inner inspiration.

    Shri Vichitra Narain Sharma Recipient of Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Constructive Work-1993 Born in May, 1898, Shri Vichitra Narain Sharma left his college studies in 1920 in response to the call given by Mahatma Gandhi. He was then in the B.A. class at the Banaras University. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's call for non-cooperation with the British Government, and under the leadership of Acharya Kripalani, a group of 25 students led by Vichitrabhai left their place and laid the foundation of the Shri Gandhi Ashram. Vichitrabhai was the leader of these students. Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, Shri Kamalapati Tripathi, Shri T.N. Singh were amongst the members of this group. Acharya Kriplani was their founder President. In 1958 the Prayog Samiti was founded at Ahmedabad and all the major Khadi Institutions had to contribute for its formation. Vichitrabhai, however, said that unless this was approved by Acharya Kripalani, he could not take any decision. In 1921 when the Prince of Wales visited India, Vichitrabhai joined a campaign of protest and went to jail. This earned praise from Mahatma Gandhi. Even in the jail, Vichitrabhai had to undergo confrontation with the jail staff who behaved in an arbitrary and dictatorial manner. Vichitrabhai, who was always of a genial disposition and was pleasantness personified in his behaviour, was a difficult prisoner as far as the jailors were concerned. Vichitrabhai was never fond of power. But under the compulsion from his mentors he entered the U.P. legislature in 1952, 1957 and 1962. He was a Minister in all the cabinets from that of G.B.
