Gandhi Journal Article - III
Mahatma
Gandhi as a Journalist
By
V Sundaram
As
a powerful mass communicator and as a fearless journalist, Mahatma Gandhi was
unrivalled. Almost everyone knows that Mahatma Gandhi was a Political Leader,
but very few know that Gandhi was also a journalist! Yes, Gandhi was an
outstanding journalist. For 45 years, starting from 1903, he edited and
published weekly newspapers. Journalism was the factor that transformed
ordinary Gandhi into Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi's work in the field of journalism
had a strong influence not only on every newspaper in India but also on the
entire literary world of every language in India!!!

Gandhi Journal Article - II
Cinema, Satyagraha and Everyday Life
By Pranta Pratik Patnaik
One
of the most significant phenomena of our time has been the development of the
cinema from a mere art form to a potential subject for study in terms of the
issues that it raises and the supposedly influences it has on the spectators.
It is now conceived as a versatile art form. Cinema not only provides a site
for entertainment, but also a platform to reinforce certain values and ideals.
In the same vein, if we trace the history of Indian cinema, we would find that
Gandhian values and ideals have made their presence felt, to some degree, in Hindi
films. Any movie on the Indian independence theme or any biography on a real
life historical character around the independence era is incomplete without the
mention of Mahatma Gandhi. This is not to deny the fact that there has always
been a shift in the themes of Hindi Cinema which has in turn kept the Gandhian
principles out of focus. On the other hand, it should not imply the complete
ignorance or disrespect for Gandhian values. The paper looks into one such film
- Lage Raho Munna Bhai (LRMB),
released in the year 2006, which locates Gandhian values in the contemporary
setting. The film revolves around the virtues and values of Mahatma Gandhi,
propagated through the narrative, without merely being reduced into didactic
preaching. The Gandhian era is believed to have been evoked in the 21st century
through this film.
