The life of Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi is a story of heroic effort to establish the values at Truth
and Non-voilence in human life. In pursuing this objective, Gandhiji became a
Mahatma from a mere ‘Monya’. He became a messenger for the people of the world
surrounded by fire of violence in the twentieth century. He also became ‘The
Father of the Nation’. He saved India and Britain from mutual hate and revenge
by resorting to the experiment of Truth and Non-violence in India’s struggle
for freedom. This created an atmosphere which made it possible for other
countries of Asia and Africa to free themselves without bloodshed from the hold
of the European countries which had subdued them in the nineteenth century. In
South Africa it was the Railway Ticket Collector who paved the way for the
birth of a Satyagrahi and in India it was a poor peasant from Champaran,
Rajkumar Shukla, who provided him a platform to test the power of Satyagraha on
the Indian soil. His campaign in favour of the non-co-operation movement
brought about another change which identified his outward appearance with that
of the humblest and lowliest of the land and he stuck to the loin cloth till he
departed with the name of God on his lips. Mahatma Gandhi’s contribution to
human development is far too great and varied to have been forgotten or to be
overlooked. The world today recognizes hint as a far more compelling social
innovator than humanity ever realized. Pure Silver – .999 purity, 40gms
