Violence and Non-violence Today: How Gandhian Principles can
help in reducing violence
By
Ravi Bhatia
There are serious problems of deprivation and marginalisation
being faced by millions across the world. Although people suffer silently,
occasionally they rise up in protest and commit violence on the state and the
other individuals. This paper discusses the nature of different forms of
violence and factors leading to it. In addition, it seeks to bring out the
relevance of Gandhian principles of truth, Satyagraha, non-violence, proper
educational system and religious tolerance, and argue that these principles can
be applied in the contemporary situation for reduction of conflict and violence
by advancing the welfare of the deprived, protection of environment, promoting
peace and understanding among peoples. These principles have a universal validity
and have been successfully adopted by several countries and peoples.
