Abstract

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's influence is inextricably linked to nonviolence, peace, and justice. Gandhi's principles of nonviolence and civil disobedience had a profound impact not only on the Indian independence movement but also on various liberation movements worldwide. His ideas inspired leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, who applied nonviolent strategies in their respective struggles for civil rights and against apartheid.While Gandhi was influential in political and social movements, his focus on integrating Eastern and Western perspectives into educational approaches may not be as well-documented. However, his emphasis on education and self-reliance was part of his broader vision for empowering individuals and communities. Gandhi believed in holistic education that nurtured not only the intellect but also the character and morality of individuals.Gandhi's influence extended beyond political activism, encompassing social, economic, and educational dimensions. His ideas on self-sufficiency, simplicity, and nonviolent coexistence continue to resonate with many people around the world.Gandhi's nonviolent approach is still relevant and necessary in today's world, especially as weapons of mass destruction cause havoc and raise fears of another world war.Mohandas K. Gandhi is known as the Father of Independent India as well as the Father of Modern Nonviolence.
