Study of the need of Gandhi ideology in the Present Era

Abstract

This review paper examines the enduring relevance of Mahatma Gandhi's ideology in the contemporary world. Gandhi, an iconic figure in the Indian independence movement, was a proponent of nonviolent resistance, self-reliance, social justice, and ethical leadership. In an era marked by global conflicts, environmental challenges, and social inequalities, Gandhi's principles of nonviolence and peaceful resistance continue to offer valuable insights for addressing complex issues. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the applicability of Gandhi's ideas in modern contexts, drawing on examples from various regions and disciplines. It explores how his philosophy resonates with contemporary concerns such as environmental sustainability, social justice, and ethical leadership. By critically assessing the strengths and limitations of Gandhi's ideology, this paper provides a nuanced understanding of its relevance in addressing pressing challenges in the 21st century. The findings of this review paper underscore the timeless wisdom of Gandhi's principles and their potential to inspire positive change and progress in the present era.
