He got chance to go to South Africa as a lawyer of an Indian company.

    Many Indians were settled in South Africa for work. But they lived in very bad and unjust conditions…Many conditions and restrictions were imposed on them. They were also denied basic civil rights. In 1906, South Africa The white regime in Africa passed the oppressive law ‘Asiatic Registration Act’ which dishonored the Asians. According to the provisions of this act, they forced the Asians in South Africa to register themselves and put their thumbs on the registration papers. Gandhiji called Satyagraha against this black law. He took the initiative. Next is the often used weapon of Satyagraha . Gene’s first experiment in South Africa was a success. The South African government had to withdraw this law.

    World War I started in Europe. Gandhiji took the stand of all cooperation to the British government,but the British people

were silently watching the exploitation of the laborers in the blue plantations run by the

European planters in Champaranya district in Bihar. Against that

Gandhiji fought in 1917. After that In 1918, he did Satyagraha to solve the problem of farmers in Kheda district of Gujarat. Due to this Satyagraha, the people of India came to know Gandhiji. A.D. Around 1920, Gandhiji became the leader of the Indian freedom movement. From there Gandhi led the movement until India

became independent in 1947. This period is called ‘Gandhi Yug‘. During this period, three movements, the Non-Cooperation Movement of 1920, the Civil Disobedience Movement of 1930 and the Chale-Jaw Movement of 1942 became historic.

      Gandhiji played a lion’s share in getting Indian independence.

India became independent on August 15, 1947. But Gandhi was not lucky enough to live in independent India for long. Because 30 January 1948 was the day that ended his life. On the same day, a headman named Nathuram Godse shot at him and Gandhiji met his unfortunate end.

But because of his conduct and thoughts,Gandhiji is still unsurpassed even today, his unmatchable ability to lead a person forward in personal life and the nation in national life, his thoughts in all political,social, cultural and personal fields – in fluid thoughts, his thoughts had a great and deep impact on the Indian people. was Inspired by his thoughts, common people also participated in the freedom struggle from time to time. Thousands of patriots were ready to sacrifice their country for their word.   

 Even today, India’s

post-independence

values, political, social

etc. Gandhiji’s thoughts

are the foundation of the

principles and thought

system. The principles

and values in Gandhij’s

thoughts give inner

strength to the individual

vand the nation.

Gandhiji was the

first to assert that

the complementary

principles of

non-violence and truth

should be adopted in

personal life as much

as in political matters.

Using satyagraha as a

weapon based on these

principles, he made

political movements

successful through

non-violent means. For

that, they adopted ways

of satyagraha such

as civil disobedience,

non-cooperation,

boycott, government

disobedience, hunger

strike, dharna etc.

Truth and non-violence

are the foundation of

Gandhiji’s thoughts.

However, Gandhi did not

mean non-violence for

the weak. According

to him, non-violence

is the best quality of

a hero. Not a coward.

Gandhiji considered

truth as the goal and

non-violence as the

means to achieve it. He

gave equal importance

to both these principles.

He strongly believed that

even enemies can be

converted into friends by

changing hearts through

loving and tolerant

non-violence.

Gandhi also emphasized on resourcefulness. He said that the means of conveying the elevated and noble simple should also be ethical and of high quality. Recognising that India’s villages are

the lifeblood of India,

Gandhi emphasized rural

development. He said

that every village should

be economically and

politically self-sufficient.

For that, he insisted on

the development of small

scale industries, cottage

industries. He said that

the villagers should never

leave the village and go

to the city.

Gandhi raised his voice against the undesirable social norms of the time.

    They consider the practice of untouchability as stigma. He strongly opposed that practice.

His constructive

programs of social

reform, untouchability,

women’s education,

communal unity, adult

education, etc. became

a part of the national

movement itself. He

founded the ‘Harijan

Sevak Sangh’ which

worked for the removal

of untouchability in AD.

Established in 1933. He

started a weekly called ‘Harijan’ to arouse public opinion on this question. Inspired by Gandhiji’s thoughts, many activists took up the cause of

untouchability.

Even in the personal

life of man, Gandhi

ji established the

principles of values.

Study, idealism,

character development,

devotion and patience,

benevolence, faith,

love, prayer, devotion,

non-attachment,

non-attachment,

mercy, brotherhood,

forbearance, humility,

regularity, cleanliness,

righteousness, diet and

health, absence of anger and forgiveness are all aspects of a person. He consistently advocated diverse values that lead to development.

Gandhiji also taught the

values of patriotism,

pantheism and sacrifice.

Gandhiji himself lived a

very simple life. Clothes as per need, as simple as necessary for body. sattvic diet, Vratnishta, Satyanishta, these were the characteristics

of their living,

Greatness, elevation,

subtlety, fluidity and

comprehensiveness

were the characteristics

of his powerful and

persuasive thoughts.

‘First done then said’

was the hallmark of his

actions and words. With

all these characteristics,

a supreme ideal of a man

of the age was created

in the form of Mahatma

Gandhi, the father of

the nation. This ideal will

continue to guide the

individual and the nation

like a lamppost…
