By: Tupaki Desk | 2 Oct 2013 8:39 AM GMT
It’s really exaggeration if i said that whole nation is celebrating Gandhi Jayanthi on high manner.Unlike previous years, government schools and colleges in the state was remained open. In a bid to keep the young generation connected with the values of Mahatma Gandhi, the education department has asked institutions to remain open and observe Gandhi Jayanti.
This is a day to re-dedicate ourselves to ideals of the Mahatma who forged the instrument of Satyagraha based on truth, non-violence and power of self-suffering and helped India shed the yoke of colonialism.But here are the few interesting topics about Gandhiji that we need to remind on the eve of auspicious occasion
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi isn’t just a name, the father of a nation and indeed a global icon. Inspiration radiates in tons from this name. His non-violence or Satyagraha has influenced many leaders and movements’ till date.
Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar . His father, Karamchand Gandhi (1822–1885), served as the diwan (chief minister) of Porbander state. His mother, Putlibai, who was from a Pranami Vaishnava family, was Karamchand's fourth wife, the first three wives having apparently died in childbirth.
In 1888, Gandhi travelled to London, England, to study law at University College London, where he studied Indian law and jurisprudence and trained as a barrister at the Inner Temple. His time in London was influenced by a vow he had made to his mother upon leaving India, in the presence of a Jain monk, to observe the precepts of abstinence from meat and alcohol as well as of promiscuity
Gandhi was 24 when he arrived in South Africa to work as a legal representative for the Muslim Indian Traders based in the city of Pretoria. He spent 21 years in South Africa, where he developed his political views, ethics and political leadership skills.
From Obama to Anna Hazare, there are many doyens all over the world who walk in his footsteps. The ideologies of Gandhi have now taken the shape of ‘Gandhigiri’ and have been widely propagated by the ‘Munna Bhai’ and ‘Shankardada’ series.
The United Nations General Assembly has also declared 2 October as the International Day of Non-Violence.Urging all to imbibe wisdom from the valued teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and ensure that Bapu remains alive in our hearts and minds forever.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” One of the famous quotation from Gandhiji…Let’s be the change.Happy Gandhi Jayanti……
