💟 Mahatma Gandhi: Father of non-violence

📌Introduction  

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, which we all love "Bapu", was a symbol of peace, truth and non -violence not only in India but also for the whole world. His life is a living proof of the fact that the biggest changes can be brought with strong will and moral courage.  

📌Early life and principles roots  

 ** Birth and Family Background **  

Born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar (Gujarat), Mohandas Gandhi's family gave him the first learning of moral values ​​and self-discipline.  

** Experience abroad **  

  After going to London in 1888, he got acquainted with the western world and secular ideas while studying law. For the first time in South Africa, there was a spark of rebellion within them against apartheid and injustice.  

📌Satyagraha and Darshan of Ahimsa  

Gandhiji made non -violence not only an idea, but a strategy of an active struggle - Satyagraha.  

1.** The origin of Satyagraha **: Not a weapon, the mountain of the mind - where you stand peacefully for your moral rights.  

2. ** Dimensions of non -violence **: Not only abandonment of physical violence, but also the mental seeds of malice, anger and injustice.  

📌Contribution to freedom struggle  

- ** Dandi March (1930) **  

  Satyagraha of salt tax: In this bonfire, which was up for 240 miles, Bapu gave the message of non -cooperation of the British.

  A pinch of salt proved that even the biggest empire bows to the unwavering courage of the vigilant citizens.  

- ** Clothing revolution **  

Strongly laid the foundation of self -reliance by strengthening Khadi - Visar Revolution challenged economic slavery.  

📌Global effect of Gandhism  

 ** Martin Luther King Jr. ** adopted the path of non -violence in the Civil Rights Movement in the US.  

 ** Nelson Mandela ** left the Gutlet Route at the time of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.  

These examples prove that Bapu's message does not recognize the boundaries.

The message of Khadi, indigenous and simplicity is similar to the model of sustainable development today.
