Every year on 2nd October, India celebrates Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, the birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation. This day is not only a national holiday, but also an occasion to remember and honor the life and struggle of Bapu.
Mahatma Gandhi, also known as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, played a significant role in India’s freedom struggle. His philosophy of non-violence, truth, and selfless service inspired millions of people around the world. Gandhi’s life was a testament to his principles, as he dedicated himself to the cause of freedom and social justice.
Bapu’s lifestyle was simple and frugal. He believed in leading a minimalist life and wearing simple attire, which became known as the ‘Gandhi cap’ and ‘khadi’ clothing. His commitment to simplicity and self-discipline made him a role model for millions.
However, Gandhi’s journey was not without challenges. He faced numerous obstacles and hardships in his pursuit of freedom and equality. From leading mass movements like the Salt March and the Quit India Movement to spending time in prison, Gandhi’s struggle against British rule was relentless.
On Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, we pay tribute to this great leader by reflecting on his teachings and principles. It is a day to remember his message of peace, non-violence, and equality. Various events and programs are organized across the country to honor his legacy.
