Gandhi Jayanti
(International Day of Non-Violence)
Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday in India celebrated on 2nd October. This day is celebrated in the honor of the birthday of the Father of the nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi or Bapuji.
Internationally this day is celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence as Gandhiji was the preacher of non-violence. He is a symbol of peace and truth.
At Raj Ghat, New Delhi, and across India, people gather to observe Gandhi Jayanti in innovative ways that includes offering flowers on Gandhi's pictures, statues and singing his favourite devotional song Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram.
The government offices, banks, schools and post offices remain closed on Gandhi Jayanti to pay homage to 'Father of the Nation'.
Early Life and works of M.K. Gandhi:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 into a Gujarati Hindu Modh Baniya family in Porbandar.
His father, Karamchand Uttamchand Gandhi (1822–1885), served as the diwan (chief minister) of Porbandar state.
In May 1883, the 13-year-old Mohandas was married to 14-year-old Kasturbai Makhanji Kapadia.
The Gandhi couple had four children, all sons: Harilal, Manilal, Ramdas, and Devdas.
He studied law in U.K and practiced law in South Africa.
In April 1893, Gandhi aged 23, set sail for South Africa to be the lawyer for Abdullah's cousin.
In South Africa, he faced racial discrimination directed towards blacks and Indians. He faced humiliation on many occasions but made up his mind to fight for his rights.
Gandhi questioned this unfair treatment and eventually managed to establish an organization named ‘Natal Indian Congress’ in 1894.
Gandhi was influenced by the idea of Satyagraha (devotion to the truth) and implemented non-violent protests around 1906.
His struggles in South Africa helped him gain familiarity and initial acceptance in India.
After spending 21 years in South Africa, where he fought for civil rights, he had transformed into a new person and he returned to India in 1915.
On the advice of Gopal Krishana Gokhale, Gandhi toured India to gain first hand self-experience.
His deeds in South Africa generated hopes with the common people to identify him as their Saviour.
There were three incidents –Champaran in Bihar (1917), Kheda in Gujarat(1918) and also at Ahmedabad Mill Strike, 1918 – that identified Gandhi a political trend setter in India.
There is a common thread in these three events-
-Gandhi provided leadership to economically lower classes.
-Gandhi made a systematic study of the issues involved and made decisive impact through his policy of civil disobedience and non-cooperation.
-For the first time in Indian politics, a politician had addressed the sufferings of marginalized Indians.
Gandhi gave leadership to all sections of the people of India, irrespective of caste, colour and creed, in the struggle for freedom.
Some Important movements started by Gandhi Ji during freedom struggle:
-Non-cooperation movement: An unsuccessful attempt in 1920–22, organized by Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi, to induce the British government of India to grant self-government, or swaraj, to India.
-Salt Satyagraha (Salt March): Also called Dandi March or Salt Satyagraha, major nonviolent protest action in India led by Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi in March–April 1930.
-The Quit India Movement: Also known as the India August Movement, was a movement launched at the Bombay session of the All-India Congress Committee by Mahatma Gandhi on 8 August 1942, during World War II, demanding an end to British Rule of India.
