Relevance of Gandhian Philosophy in Contemporary World

Abstract

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a saint and a moral revolutionary. M.K. Gandhi has exercised the most powerful influence on modern world. Mahatma Gandhi is not merely a political philosopher; it is a message and philosophy of life. For quite some time it was considered that Gandhian philosophy and methods of struggle could not be put actual practice and with that these philosophy and methods have established their effectiveness. While M.K. Gandhi lived most of the people thought that his ideas are relevance only to win freedom for India from the British rule. So many persons were not convinced by his faith in Truth and non-violence; they agreed that this was the only strategy to turn British out of India. There is great relevancy of Gandhian political philosophy. Gandhi was a practical thinker and as such it has righty been said about him that he was a great karma yogi. Gandhi was one of those philosophers who believed in self-sacrifice, Satyagrah a or Non-cooperation.
