Looking for Mahatma
Looking for Mahatma
Gandhi's face has returned to mass media. We now need space for
Gandhi's mind and heart.
The return of a Mahatma to our newspapers in January
2015 should be considered almost as a welcome as the return of Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi to his motherland on January 9, 1915.
The year 1915 marked a seminal moment in history, for Gandhi’s
intervention in India’s freedom movement ended the era of European
colonisation, a process that progressed without setback for three centuries,
and never seemed stronger than it did in the first decade of the 20th century.
It was said, famously, that the sun did not set on the British
Empire. After Gandhi, the sun never rose on any empire.

Gandhi Journal Article-II : Swachh Bharat of Mahatma Gandhi
Swachh Bharat of Mahatma Gandhi
By S. C. Jaini
Many voices were heard after the Prime Minister of India in his
extempore speech on the 15th August 2014 on Independence Day spoke of 'Swachh Bharat'. Independence Day
speech of the Prime Minister of India carries a message not only for the
countrymen but is also a statement to the international community too, being
widely reported across the world. The message in the speech was loud and clear.
On Mahatma Gandhi's birthday i.e. 2nd October 2014, the campaign was launched
with much fanfare. Mahatma Gandhi whom the nation had relegated to archives,
came alive on his birthday this year.
