About Mahatma Gandhi Education

Born in an honored family, Gandhi was lucky to obtain a comprehensive education but proved to be a mediocre student. In May 1883, he was admitted to SamalDas College at Bombay University and finished his studies, but he was not satisfied because this study was done by obeying the desires of his parents.

After this, at the age of 18, in 1888, he went to England from Bombay to study law, where Hindu principles were fully overlapped on Gandhi, in which so many affairs are prohibited like alcohol, sexuality, Non-vegetarian, etc.

In this situation, it was difficult for them to survive there, but gradually their interest grew in the philosophical studies of other religions and tried to survive. In 1991, they got a Barrister degree and returned to India the same year.

After returning to India, he started the practice in Bombay first in 1892. Gandhi has found his first case of a poor lady Mumin Bai which was related to the Khalifa Movement, but Gandhi lost the case. Later, he started advocating in Rajkot, he got Abdullah & Company's lawsuit. He went to South Africa in 1893 for its lobbying.

Gandhi and South Africa Conflict


When Mahatma Gandhi arrived in Africa, he found it hard to work here. Gandhi was very upset with the harassment of Indians by the British. Mahatma Gandhi decided to improve the condition of Indians there and accepted a one-year contract to work for an Indian firm in the province of Natal of South Africa.

Although this was not inherent in the law, the system of 'Apartheid' in South Africa was very extreme at the turn of the 20th century.

Despite reaching the one-year agreement, Gandhi spent the next 21 years in South Africa and struggled against the inequity of racial segregation.

Despite being in possession of a legitimate ticket, he was dropped from the first-class train on one occasion. The witness of racial prejudice experienced by his countrymen served as a catalyst for his subsequent activation, and he tried to fight separation at all levels.

He established the Natal Indian Congress in 1894 to run a movement against Black law in South Africa and non-violent civilians developed their ideological beliefs in a solid political stance and they protested against non-cooperation among all Indians within South Africa.

Gandhi Ji first used the Satyagraha in 1906 to protest the Parvana law (Dong's collar) in Africa and succeeded in obtaining some facilities for the Indians.

In this context, "Gopal Krishna Gokhale" (who was a political guru of Mahatma Gandhi ) wrote that;

"The security of the rights of Indians in South Africa, of course, started without Gandhi. Without any selfishness, they fought a big fight for India, for which India is very grateful to them."

Mahatma Gandhi had to go to jail in 1908 due to opposition to color discrimination. Here he got the first experience of jail life.

In 1909, Tolstoy wrote a letter telling about the atrocities on Indians and local people. This year, he went to England with a special board. During his return from England, he wrote a book called "Hind Swaraj" on the ship itself.



Indian freedom struggle and Mahatma Gandhi


There was a struggle against the atrocities committed by the British in the Indian freedom struggle, India, whose real origin is believed to be from the Revolution of 1857.

After the long struggle of 55 years, Mahatma Gandhi's entry took place in the early 20th century, after which this period was known from the Gandhi era.
         
In January 1915 Gandhi returned to India from South Africa. The Indian public welcomed them very warmly. His struggles and successes in South Africa made him very popular in India.

After returning, for nearly two years, he noticed the real situation here, visited the country, and continued to work for making Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and settling its supporters.

Gandhi's view was that no issue should have interfered unless the whole situation was surveyed. At this time the Home Rule movement in India was on the Peak point, but they did not show active participation due to self idea.

Later, he saw his active participation in the Indian Independence Movement and became the Main Strategist of Indians to liberate India from the British.

Based on the principles of truth and non-violence, they chose the path of winning Satyagraha. Gandhiji started the Champaran Satyagrah in 1917 as the first Satyagraha movement in India and won the victory.

Gandhi's Contribution and Thoughts:-


Mahatma Gandhi was a creative person, who worked in many sectors for the creation of India and presented his ideas, In which some important ideas are given below. Today's impressions of their views get noticed in our constitution and society.

Basic Education (Wardha scheme of education) 1937-

Mahatma Gandhi was a critic of the immediate education system. He believed that this system neither makes proper arrangements of livelihood nor has the purpose of developing intellectual capacity.

In order to overcome this defect, he introduced the "basic education" form, in which free and compulsory education and medium of education are a mother tongue for the age group of 7 to 14 years. 

Trusteeship principle of Gandhi

The basic theory of trusteeship is that no person has complete control over his property. Any wealthy person has the right to the property only until he has the 
the trust of society.

Gandhi and Decentralisation -

Gandhi Ji was against the centralization of power and wealth in the political and economic sphere. They said that to reduce violence, it has to go towards decentralization.

That's why he considered local governance important for the decentralization of politics and to promote cottage industries in place of more production by machines for economic decentralization.

Religion and politics-

A key feature of Gandhi Darshan is to believe that politics is religious and spiritual. He had said that politics should be a religion, not politics without religion.

Swadeshi-

Swadeshi means the feeling of devotion, love, and devotion to our country. Gandhi believed that by inducing the feeling of devotion towards homeland, the countrymen can be made self-sufficient and self-reliant.

Gandhiji circulates the Swadeshi movement across the country against foreign goods and capital. Gandhi used to make and wear his khadi cloth from his own handloom.

Untouchability-

The problem of untouchability in various problems in Indian society was also prominent. Gandhiji believed that even if the problem of untouchability remains intact in India, Swaraj would also be meaningless for India.

He made the word Harijan for such castes and by staying with him, he established Harijan Seva Sangh in 1932 to solve his problem.

Panchayati Raj-

Gandhi was a spokesman for the decentralization of power and in this context, his ideal village was seen as self-reliant. From the time of independence, Gandhi was using Gram Swaraj.

He wrote about this: "He is a complete republic, who will depend entirely on himself for the essential things of life."

Reservation- 

Following the failure of the Second Round Table Conference, 1932, the British government declared a communal award.

This declaration provided for the provision of representation for Muslim, Sikh, Indian Christians, and Anglo-Indian communities in provincial legislatures. Women were also given representation.

Similarly, Dalits also got separate representations in some regions. Gandhi opposed it and fasted to death. Later, with the Poona Pact, Anshan broke and Dr. Ambedkar withdrew the separate demand of the Dalit classes.

All of this believed that there would be a joint representation of Hindu and scheduled caste. Gandhi believed that the Hindu society would be removed from the separate reservation of the Dalit.

Nonviolence-

Gandhiji gave non-violence the highest priority in his life and underlined it as the moral and spiritual power of life. In his life, he has given place to nonviolence and defeated imperialist powers.

In addition to all the above ideas and principles, Gandhi presented his views in areas such as wine prohibition, peace, environment, etc.

Death of Mahatma Gandhi


On 30 January 1948, he died due to the shooting by Nathuram Godse in a meeting of Delhi. Rajghat is Mausoleum of Mahatma Gandhi which is situated in Delhi bank of Yamuna river.

To regard their ideals Every year in India, his birthday is celebrated on October 2 as a national celebration. UNESCO also announced 2 October as an International Non-violence Day as respects Mahatma Gandhi. 30 January is also celebrated as SAHID DIVAS.

Conclusion:


The words of Mahatma Gandhi have become a way of not only conveying words to any person but a principle, an idea, and a struggle for their rights and independence. 

Mahatma Gandhi had two weapons of truth and non-violence, on which he shook the roots of the British government. Gandhi's thoughts, his doctrine, are obviously relevant even if he is involved in practice in his life.
