Gandhi Journal Article-II
Gandhi Journal Article-II (December 2014)
Gandhi and
Globalisation
By Dr. Tabassum Sheikh
In
dealing with the subject of Globalization and Gandhi I would like to first
bring out Globalization, it’s negative, disruptive, exploitative and
marginalized aspect and the thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi as to how it can prove
to bring solutions to the problems brought about by Globalization.
Globalization
is defined by intellectuals and thinkers as the process of integrating and
opening markets across national borders. It is a process of increasing
interdependence in the world. This free flow is related to ideas, goods,
services, money, values, aims, culture across the national frontiers. It is
shaping a new era of interaction among nations, economies and people. As a
result it has increased the contacts between people across national boundaries
in economy, in technology, in culture and governance; it is also fragmenting
production process, labour markets, political entities and societies. While
globalization has positive, innovative, dynamic aspects it also has negative,
disruptive, exploitative and marginalized aspects. The entire process of
globalization is highly controversial, raising great concern about national
sovereignty, corporate responsibility, equity for the world’s poorest people.
It is a complex phenomenon and its complexities are likely to increase with the
unfolding of the process.

Gandhi Journal Article - I : Towards a Gandhian Educational System
Gandhi Journal Article-I (December 2014)
Towards a Gandhian Educational System
Though India became politically independent, the impact of British colonialism continued in all facets of Indian life. Literally independent India followed all institutions and systems of the colonial period with slight modifications. Everybody thought that after independence, the system of education will radically change, but nothing of that sort happened and practically the same system of education continued.
Education plays an important role in the life of an individual. In fact, school is the place where the life of a pupil is moulded. The great philosopher, Leo Tolstoy said about the impact of his school as follows: ‘It was all my life, it was my monastery, my church in which I redeemed myself while being saved from all the anxieties, doubts and temptations of life.’
