The period from 1920 to 1947 had been described as the Gandhian Era in
Indian Politics. During this period, Gandhi spoke the final word on behalf of the
Indian National Congress in negotiating with the British Government for
constitutional reforms, and for chalking out a programme for the national movement.
Mahatma Gandhi led the national freedom struggle against the British rule. The most
unique thing about this struggle was that it was completely non-violent. The
political career of Gandhi started in South Africa where he launched a Civil
Disobedience Movement against the maltreatment meted out to Asian settlers. In
1916, he returned to India and took up the leadership of National Freedom Struggle.
After the death of freedom fighter and congress leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak on
August, 1920, Gandhi became virtually the sole navigator of the ship of the
congress.
1 Gandhi had whole heartedly supported the British during the 1st World
War (1914-1919). The end of war, however, did not bring the promised freedom for
India. So Gandhiji launched many movements to force the British to concede India
its Independence. The well known being: Non Co-operation Movement (1920), Civil
Disobedience Movement (1930) and Quit India Movement (1942).
Mahatma Gandhi was not only a great leader, but a saint and a great social
reformer also. He was pious, truthful and religious. He believed in simple living and
high thinking. Everybody who came in contact with him was so deeply influenced by
his personality. He was a Champion of democracy and was deadly opposed to
dictatorial rule. Gandhi showed India and the World the path of truth and non-
violence. He believed that it was truth alone that prevailed in the end. Gandhi
believed that real India lived in more than five lakhs villages uplift. According to him
India's real emancipation depended on Swadeshi i.e. boycott of foreign goods, use of
khadi encouragement to village and cotton industries.
Gandhi began to work day and night for the freedom of his country. He and
his brave followers went to jail again and again, and suffered terrible hardships.
Thousands of them were starved, beaten, and ill-treated and killed, but they remained
true to their master. At last his noble efforts bore fruit and on August 15 1947, India
became free and independent. Gandhi defeated the mighty British empire not with
swords or guns, but by means of strange and utterly new weapons of truth and
Ahimsa. He worked all through his life for Hindu- Muslim Unity and the abolition of
untouchability.2
Gandhi worked hard for the upliftment of the Harijans, the name
given by him to the untouchables. Gandhi declared untouchability a sin against god
and man. Gandhi wrote his famous autobiography under the title 'My Experiments
with Truth'. Gandhi always stood for communal harmony, but he himself was shot
dead by a religious fanatic Nathuram Godse on 30th January, 1948. The whole World
mourned his death. Someone had quipped: "If they had not thrown Gandhi out of the
train in South Africa, the English would not have too much trouble from him."
Gandhi, the young Attorney, vowed to oppose such unfair treatment- through non-
cooperation and other nonviolent means. Gandhi's ultimate search was for righteous
conduct. The means are more important than the end, he maintained; with the right
means, desired ends will follow. In time, he was proven right- almost always. His
struggles and actions were but external manifestations of his struggle to evolve his
own value system. He was the maker of Modern India.
