Essay on Mahatma Gandhi and his Dreams
Answers
Answer:
In 1947, after a long period of inner and outer assaults, struggles and innumerable sacrifices, a free India was born. For the first time in the history, people of India finally made their dreams of Swaraj (self –rule) a reality. On the cornerstones of freedom, equality, justice and dignity, the foundation of world’s largest democracy was laid. After years of slavery and humiliation, the excitement about the idea of a free and self-governed India was palpable. The leaders who ushered India into a new dawn of freedom had a vision of a new India with a self-elected government, which was of the people, by the people and for the people.
This vision became the beacon of light for drafting the Constitution of India and our founding fathers ensured that the Constitution of India secures the fundamental rights, social, economic and political justice, freedom of thought, belief, religion, equality of opportunity, status and right to life with dignity to all the citizens. To make sure that every citizen of India as the primary stakeholder of democracy is empowered to participate in the growth story of a new free India, they included the “Directive Principles” in the Constitution like right to life with dignity, right to quality education, right to quality health services, right to food and right to employment etc. They cherished the dream of democracy and envisaged India as a socialist country and a welfare state where these directives became the national conscience and guideposts of our constitution ensuring ‘inclusive growth and development’ for all the citizens.
Mahatma Gandhi always emphasized that the policymakers must focus on the unprivileged section first. He said- I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj for the hungry and spiritually starving millions then you will find your doubts and yourself melting away.
