On Gandhi Jayanti, the county
pays homage to our beloved Bapuji. Bapuji, with his tremendous
knowledge of life and constant experiment with truth and reality, did
the unbelievable, when he used his learning’s in not only ridding India
from the British but also from the ills of the society like
untouchability, caste system, religious bigotry. He reformed the country
by empowering women in India, advancing the economy and also improving
the conditions of Indian farmers.
His
simplicity in living, his understanding of the needs of the people
above his own, and his subtle ways of dealing with any complicated
situation are only a few of his best qualities, which the Father of the
Nation delivered with ease and pride. He incorporated non violence with
civil disobedience to fight for India’s independence, which worked
wonders. He did outdo the British Raj with non violence and encouraged
the country not to deter form the goal. And we secured ‘purna swaraj’
under his guidance and toil, and became a free country.It was after his return from Africa in 1915 that he led the country in its struggle for independence. Gandhi supported Home rule for India and became the leader of the Indian National Congress, his protest in Dandi March Salt in 1930 strengthened the movement, followed by the 1942 quit India, which enforced British to finally give in, by 1947. On January 30 1948, the country took a severe loss, as Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated.
