Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Many voices were heard after the Prime Minister of India in his extempore speech on the 15th August 2014 on Independence Day spoke of 'Swachh Bharat'. Independence Day speech of the Prime Minister of India carries a message not only for the countrymen but is also a statement to the international community too, being widely reported across the world. The message in the speech was loud and clear. On Mahatma Gandhi's birthday i.e. 2nd October 2014, the campaign was launched with much fanfare. Mahatma Gandhi whom the nation had relegated to archives, came alive on his birthday this year.
Many have appeared on the print and electronic media, holding a broom for a few minutes shown sweeping the already sanitised streets in ’swachh uniforms'. These swachh uniforms remained spotlessly swachh after the ritual was over. The 'elite sweepers' were smilingly sweeping in the company of dozens of other men and women, when photographed. Sweeping public places is a very tedious and back breaking business; it is no smiling business, since sweeping public places brings forth dust allergy, running nose, watery eyes and smelling uniforms. And why our public spirited men and women should sweep only ’symbolically’; why not as a daily routine, if they took the pledge to clean India in earnest and with conviction.
Swachh Bharat scheme is launched with Mahatma Gandhi as its inspiration. I wonder, how many people have read what Gandhi has to say on the subject? This brief write up below is but a glimpse of some of Gandhi's views on cleanliness and how he personally went about doing it with no camera in attendance.
This essay contains several thoughts and anecdotes from Gandhi’s life, extracted from several books, including his Autobiography. This write up may work as a refresher on the subject topic.
Answer:
Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader in the real sense. He did not live for self; but spent his whole life for the good of his country and its people. He was a man of firm determination and strong will-power. Undeterred by any opposition or consequences, he pursued his mission single-handedly and was even followed by lakhs and lakhs of people afterwards.
Affectionately called ‘Bapu’ by most of his countrymen, Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat. His full name was Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi. During his school days, he was greatly influenced by the characters of King Harish Chandra and Shravan Bhakta.
While his first model taught him to be truthful in life, the second ideal imparted him the lesson of being obedient to one’s parents.
