Gandhi for our troubled times
I once asked my students at Jindal Global University about Mahatma Gandhi’s relevance in today’s India. Explaining his universal appeal Therefore, Gandhi’s success as a universal gadfly goes far beyond his national stature as the founding father of modern India. Also, let us not forget that Gandhi’s critique of modern civilisation in Hind Swaraj is one of the greatest Socratic gestures of intellectual self-examination in the history of modern political thought. Gandhi’s legacy also exemplifies another Socratic aspect which is absent among most of the political leaders today: courage. Undoubtedly, this is the true lesson of Gandhi’s political life, where moral conviction and sense of duty to others go hand-in-hand.
