Today is Gandhi Jayanti. On this occasion, all of us remember Bapu in our own ways. Some of us idolize him even as others think he committed many errors. That is the power of Mahatma Gandhi. Every discussion about him further consolidates his eternal legacy.
Let me tell the uninitiated that Gandhi had an important role to play in the setting up of Hindustan Times. On 26 September 1924, while presenting this newspaper as a daily to the people of the country, he had expressed a wish that it play a role in the struggle for independence and the quest for social reforms. At that time, his son Devdas Gandhi was on the editorial board of Hindustan Times. He went on to successfully assume the position of the editor of the newspaper. Even today the objective of the Hindustan Times group is the nation’s service and social reform. Therefore, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while dedicating the fortnight preceding Gandhi Jayanti to cleanliness, gave the slogan: Swachhta Hi Seva (cleanliness is the real service), our sister publication Hindustan took it up as a mission.
Swami Vivekananda used to say that a healthy mind can only reside in a healthy body. You may be astonished to know that lakhs of people lose their lives every year owing to lack of hygiene. A report by the World Health Organization says that for a population of 100,000, more than 133 deaths take place because of indoor air pollution. Every year, 1.7 million children below the age of five in the country meet an untimely death because of pollution and lack of hygiene. Half of them don’t even complete the first month of their lives.
