Summary/Abstract |
Acharya Narendra Deva strongly believed that the Gandhian ideas based on morality and ethics could be the only solution to meet the basic needs of a society both developing and developed. He wielded the Gandhian weapon of satyagraha most effectively to fight every form of injustice against the oppressed and the depressed in the then Indian society. He remained a pathfinder of the socialist movement in India and felt that without political independence the socialist programme could never become a reality. The purpose of the article is to highlight the impact of ethics and Buddhism on Narendra Deva’s overall socio-political ideas and its relevance in the 21st century.
