Study of Gandhian ideology and its main Principles

Abstract

The life and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, a towering figure in the history of civil rights, nonviolent resistance, and social justice, can be better understood via the study of Gandhian ideology and its fundamental principles. This article presents an in-depth analysis of Gandhi's political philosophy, delving into its fundamental tenets such as nonviolence (ahimsa), truth (satyagraha), self-reliance (swadeshi), welfare for all (sarvodaya), equality, simplicity, decentralisation of power, constructive work, fearlessness, and cleanliness. This research sheds insight on the ongoing legacy of Gandhian ideology by examining the historical context in which these ideas developed, how they were applied in the movement for Indian independence, and how they continue to be relevant in modern global efforts for justice and peace. The ideology of Mahatma Gandhi serves as a timelessly relevant source of motivation for people and movements committed to social reform. It provides a road map for ethical leadership, conflict resolution, and the quest of a world that is more equal and compassionate.
