Gandhi Journal Article-III (March 2016) :

Gandhi's Philosophy of Nonviolence

With Gandhi, the notion of nonviolence attained a special status. He not only theorized on it, he adopted nonviolence as a philosophy and an ideal way of life. He made us understand that the philosophy of nonviolence is not a weapon of the weak; it is a weapon which can be tried by all.

Nonviolence was not Gandhi’s invention. He is however called the father of nonviolence because according to Mark Shepard, “He raised nonviolent action to a level never before achieved.” ¹ Krishna Kripalani again asserts “Gandhi was the first in Human history to extend the principle of nonviolence from the individual to social and political plane.”² While scholars were talking about an idea without a name or a movement, Gandhi is the person who came up with the name and brought together different related ideas under one concept: Satyagraha.

Arthur Road Jail inmate's 'Experiments with Truth'

4 death sentenced inmates and 10 inmates of Anda cell with other 75 jail inmates of Arthur Road Jail appeared for Gandhi Peace Exam

Two Anda cell prisoners are exam toppers amongst prisoners with 79 out of 80 marks

Gandhiji said, ‘Hate the sin, not the sinner.’ It is mostly the violent act that puts one behind bars but repentance can dilute it and it seems true for the 89 inmates of Arthur Road Jail who appeared for Gandhi Peace exam today. Among them, 4 death sentenced inmates and 10 Anda cell (egged-shaped high security cell) inmates appeared for the exam. One Jail official also appeared for the exam. Two of the Anda cell prisoners are toppers in the exam with 79 out of 80 marks.
"I came to know true value of truth and ahimsa. I realized the mistakes made by me and took a vow not to go astray in life," one of the Anda cell prisoner expressed his view in feedback after the exam. He wrote a letter to Sarvodaya Mandal last year, expressing his interest in reading Gandhi Books and appear for Gandhi exam and Mandal also send Gandhi’s autobiography to him.

Gandhian Revalution of Values

By J. B. Kripalani

Gandhi kept his new philosophy and technique of Satyagraha, that is, resistance to tyranny through truth and nonviolence, before the nation for its fight against British imperial domination, for its freedom, recon­struction and advancement, some twenty-five years before Independence. It is now more than thirty years since we achieved our Independence. No new ideas have emerged since then for the country's reconstruction and advancement. However, people are wondering, after these fifty- five years, whether Gandhi's ideas and techniques of Satyagraha have any relevance at the present time and hereafter. It is true that they are now better known and received by the learned than they were before. This may be due to the fact that the Janata Government has declared its adherence to Gandhi's basic principles, ideas, and main programmes for the reconstruction and progress of the country. In India, it is even now a fact that whatever the rulers approve of is accepted by the people, including the so-called intellectuals.

About the Book:
 

His life and ideals remain an inspiration across the world but in reality, it was the complexity of his character that made Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi such a fascinating subject. Yet, much of the finer details of his life and intellectual growth has been obscured by the greatness of his achievements. To bring them all together in this illustrated biography is to bring alive one of the most revered figures in modern Indian history, and in a way that is a departure from earlier works. Gandhi: An Illustrated Biography is an intimate study into the evolution of a mischievous, fun-loving boy, into the Mahatma.

Gandhi and Ambedkar on Human Dignity

By Ravi Ranjan 

There are many ways in which we can understand the contemporary crisis of global India; some are external but majority of the problems are internal, few are legal but many are socio-political, and most of them are ethical and moral. Escalating violent conflicts, oppression, marginalization and exclusion has been producing and reproducing humiliation which dehumanizes the human 'self.' The relation of self to other self, hegemonic self to the oppressed self and individual self with the shared self embarks on the idea of equality and hence tries to eradicate untouchability and ensures dignity. In the Indian context the notion of equality still has to reach its constitutional commitment to be a righteous republic.¹ Therefore, it is required to deliberate on ideas of Gandhi and Ambedkar that are constantly argued for dignified and harmonious human existence.
