| Summary/Abstract |
The essence of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the Father of our Nation, who led India’s freedom struggle from the front, is still effervescent in every nook and cranny of this country and the world even 150 years after his birth. As evident from the words quoted above, India is at the forefront of the peace movement across the world and is gradually building its name as a global leader following the footsteps of the father of our nation. Gandhi’s principles of Swaraj, swabalambi or self-sufficiency, basic education, sarvodaya or universal upliftment, ahimsa or non-violence, cleanliness or Swacchta- all form the bedrocks of modern India and countries across the globe.
