The impact of Mahatma Gandhi on the world has been extraordinary. His use of non-violent resistance in leading India to freedom inspired many leaders like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, and set an example for freedom movements throughout the world. As a pioneer of the philosophies of Satyagraha, and Ahimsa, Gandhi's life is an example of unfaltering commitment to non-violence even in the most extreme situations. In today’s scenario Anna’s movement is the best example of using non violent attitude as the most effective weapon to fight against corruption .
Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. - Mahatma Gandhi
Though the great Mahatma Gandhi died long before , but his philosophy of non violent movement has still potential to change any thing in the world at present too when whole of the world is running fast to get more and more weaponry power for survival and success .
India’s freedom struggle history says that it was the only Mahtma Gandhi’s quit India non violent movement which forced Britain to succumb . It is said that when Mahtma Gandhi launched his non violent movement against British agent rulers in India , a Britain agent in India wrote a letter to his English mentor in which he sought suggestion that “ how to kill a loin non violently” . In his letter he clarifies, that they are in fix how to deal with the non violent moment launched by Indian leader Mahtma Gandhi . The point that it is very difficult for any even cruel regimes to attack on the peaceful people . And Anna Hazare has proved it again in the country which faces sever criticisms from various quarters for its involvement in human rights violations .
Very few social activists have captured the attention of Indians across the globe as Anna Hazare did during his “fast unto death” over the issue of the Lokpal Bill. Hazare, a Gandhian by belief, outlook and practice, has become the face of India’s fight against corruption.
Mahatma Gandhi – The Pride of India
The Satyagraha launched by Anna Hazare is a form of non-violent protest by the public led by an individual against an unpopular policy of a ruling party.The Satyagraha is a weapon of civil disobedience and was used very effectively by Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle. Part of the civil disobedience is the weapon of a fast.This can be till death or for a specified period. Credit must go Mahatma Gandhi who perfected this concept and used it effectively against the British rulers.
Anna Hazare uses satyagraha in its most purest form to get the government to act against corruption.Gandhi demonstrated to a World, weary with wars and continuing destruction that adherence to Truth and Non-violence is not meant for individuals alone but can be applied in global affairs too.Gandhi’s vision for the country and his dreams for the community as a whole still hold good for India.
Gandhi’s principles are fundamentally humane and shall always be the need of mankind.
People of this generation have not seen mass movements led by Gandhi . We have read about them in history books and drawn inspiration from their heroic tales. Today, we have an opportunity be a part of the new August Revolution spearheaded by Anna Hazare, aimed at making India a corruption free society. Let’s grab that chance.
