Answer:
Explanation:
Modern exponential growth in various fields has seemingly enabled human beings to skim over the fundamental failings of our society and, as each day progresses, our values are being drastically degraded. In these disturbing and difficult times, it might do us good to look back upon one of the greatest peace activists to have ever lived on this earth and discuss whether his principles have any place in today’s world.
It doesn’t need much thought to see that each one of Gandhi’s actions had an underlying premise behind them. His, at first, solitary fight against the mighty British empire could have been just one of the innumerable nameless struggles of that time. Yet, Gandhi succeeded where others could not. His methodology appealed to the conscience of the people; it stirred the masses into a huge Satyagraha. It worked because it was on the assumption of the existence of rudimentary human goodwill. And this is precisely what we require today. In this era of nuclear arms and biological weapons, it is a testament to the relevance of the Gandhian principle that India retains the no-first-use clause in the tenets of its foreign policy regarding the nuclear arena.
The Gandhi approach is not just national based either; with his call for sustainable development, by using just what we need, being recognized globally. Along with this philosophy, at the core of his concept was ‘self-sustainability’. As a leader, Gandhi made firm decisions based on his vision while respecting other’s views and opinions at the same time. It is extremely crucial that we get rid of the homogeneous prescriptions for growth and implanting models irrespective of ecological diversities which have increased the problems in every society.
As the problems in our society assume larger dimensions and greater repercussions, it is up to us now to “be the change we want to see in the world”. Mahatma Gandhi is as relevant today as he ever was, and perhaps it is now, more than ever, in every tragedy and disaster, in every dark and distressing incident, and every moment of weakness that we recognize the Gandhian principle as a shining beacon, a sign of hope for all of us.
