A MEMOIR
A son of the soil, Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi, Gandhiji, is one of
the leaders who created an everlasting
impression on the sands of time and the
memory of humanity. He took on an
entire empire using ethics and
intelligence, and managed to achieve his
aims through peace and non-violence.
MAHATMA OUR
FATHER 2
He stopped at the thresholds of
the huts of the thousands of
dispossessed, dressed like one
of their own. He spoke to them
in their own language. Here was
living truth at last, and not only
quotations from books . For this
reason the Mahatma, the name
given to him by the people of
India, is his real name. Who else
has felt like him that all Indians
are his own flesh and blood?
When love came to the door of
India, that door was opened
wide. At Gandhis call India
blossomed forth to new
greatness, just as once before,
in earlier times, when Buddha
proclaimed the truth of fellow-
feeling and compassion among
all living creatures.
-Rabindranath Tagore

I shall work for an India in
which the poorest shall feel
that it is their country, in
whose making they have an
effective voice, an India in
which there shall be no high
class and low class of
people, an India in which all
communities, shall live in
perfect harmony. There can
be no room in such India for
the curse of untouchability
or the curse of intoxicating
drinks and drugs. Women
will enjoy the same rights
as men. This is the India of
my dreams.

Gandhi read the Gita, the Bible and
the Quran. He was greatly influenced
by the teachings of these three
religious scripts and gained inspiration
from them. Gandhi was religiously
tolerant.

According to him life cannot be
divided in spheres like social, political,
economic, moral and religious. If one
part of the society suffers, all parts
suffer. This was part of Sarvodaya.

The youth of today can learn a great
deal from Mahatma Gandhi. If
absorbed and understood completely
by the young minds of the new
generations, his traits can undoubtedly
create a future which we fight for
with arms today. To question the
societal norms of present day and to
speak up about injustice around us in
the smallest form are essential lessons
from Gandhis life.
