The deadly coronavirus has brought the mighty human race to its knees. Silently, it shattered the shield of invincibility that humans wore with arrogance. The pandemic has taught us several lessons, lessons that our father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, advocated. His values of simple living and 'glocalisation' have dawned upon us now like never before, as the glamour of materialistic living slowly fell apart.

ROTI, KAPDA AND GANDHI ... his lifestyle was hatke

Know 1 GandhiMr 72 years after his passing, Gandhiji continues to be a part of every Indian’s daily life. His face adorns our currency, and his powerful persona has frequently featured in films, latest one being ‘Welcome Back Gandhi’. While he is the subject of many books, we loved him in Jason Quinn’s graphic novel, ‘Gandhi: My Life is My Message’. But what was he like in real life?

■ Gandhi’s greatest legacy is the fame he achieved for advocating non-violence as a means of overcom- ing oppression. Centuries later, the new crop of student activists are using Gandhian principals to raise their voice. In a truly Gandhian way, Greta Thunberg, turned weekly school strikes into a global movement. In India, the mantle is being taken forward by many like environmentalist Licypriya Kangujam. Wherever Gandhi went, he transformed people, as he regarded them not as they were, but who they wished to be. Seen 1 here: Pic 1 Gandhi recuperating after being beaten in S Africa.
