Gandhi Journal Article - III
International Peace
and Gandhian Thought
By
Dr. Shubhangi Rathi
Great men have always been
struggled and fought against the prevailing social evils and human suffering,
history of humanity shows it. One among of them is great man Gandhi in human
history. Gandhi responded to the challenges of the given historical situations.
He realized the historical necessities of his times and tried to actualize the
needs and inspirations of the people in his own way.
The issue of non-violence and
global peace raises certain philosophical and moral questions such as- What is
the meaning of non-violence. Does non-violence the only solution to the ills of
an age threatened by nuclear weapons? Does peace possible in a world where a
vast majority of people live under conditions of ignorance, hunger, poverty,
injustice, and tyranny? Do violence and war rooted in human nature? Does
non-violence and peace presuppose moral transformation of individuals? What is
the ultimate goal of humanity? In what direction it is progressing? Is peace
possible without unifying moral principles and ethical ideals to the whole of
humanity?
The greatest and the most
unique contribution of India to the contemporary world is the message of
non-violence and peace. Especially the technique of Satyagraha or non-violent
are direct action, formulated and practiced by Gandhi. India's distinctive mind
and face are stamped with Gandhian impact among the people of global community
as well as among the member countries of the United Nations Organization.
