Relevance of Gandhian Writing and Ideology

Dr. Rohidas Nitonde and Shilpa S. Deshmukh

Introduction

Mahatma Gandhi emerged as an exceptionally great personality in the twentieth century. On account of his multidimensional approach to human life, his ideas have proved convincing to any intellectual, rational human being, but his ideas have become inevitable in a modern context. Gandhiji has been very properly understood and very suitably expressed by G.S. Balarama Gupta as he writes, “In the entire human history, Gandhi was a unique phenomenon. It is because Gandhiji was a transparent figure and very frank and straight forward in expressing his experience and the inner world of ideas without any observation" (P. 51).

It is simply our fortune that such a great man was born in India, and today the entire world is searching for gems of Gandhian thoughts. Therefore, it has been felt necessary to make humble efforts in discovering what Gandhiji said, how did he say. And yet, in the whole world, attempts are being made by a genuinely interested person in finding out Gandhiji's thought in whatever forms are available. Gandhiji's greatness lies in his practical contribution to the entire human society.

Major Writings

Gandhiji's epitomizing writings like Hind Swaraj (1909), An Autobiography or The Story of My Experiments with Truth (1927), and innumerable articles published by him continuously for a pretty long period in his journal Indian Opinion and his diaries are most motivating and liberalizing. His Hind Swaraj, only a booklet, has become the world's most debatable book. This book is very significant in revealing hidden layers of Gandhian thought on most serious topics like politics, economy, and real freedom from several angles.
