His birthday is declared as "International Day of Non-Violence" by the United Nations Organisation. He was acclaimed as the true champion of non-violence and truthfulness.

    Mahatma Gandhi was a great personality and a great leader. His non violence way of solving problems was a unique example for the whole world and Britishers were forced to leave India.
    He was considered one of the greatest influencer in the world and had a great capability of attracting people to his ideology.
    He gave much value to education, cleanliness, discipline, simplicity, and many other good traits and showcased his own example depicting these characteristics.
    I pay him homage and respect on his 154th birth anniversary.
    Knowledge is power.

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born at Porbandar on 2nd October 1869. He was one of the major contributors in India's freedom movement. People respect him. As a result of tremendous respect and curiosity on the life and philosophy of Mohandas Gandhi and his contribution to India's freedom movement, many modern-day historians have initiated research on Gandhi.

    The new research is bringing new aspects of his life into fore. Hope this healthy trend of research on Mohandas Gandhi continues.

    A 'famous' quote of Mahatma Gandhi which has come into limelight due to new research:
    (a) "Hindus should not harbour anger against Muslims even if the latter want to destroy and kill us all. We should face death bravely. If Muslims established their rule after killing all Hindus we would be ushering in a new India."

    Similarly, Gandhiji's various statements on the black people of South Africa and on his indirect defence of Moplah (Mappilah) massacre of Hindus have come into prominence due to renewed interest and research on his activities and philosophy.

    The Prime Minister of India on the occasion of 154th. Birth Anniversary of Gandhiji paid rich tributes from Rajghat on 02-10-2023. Modiji said that Mahatma Gandhi's impact is global and inspired people all over the world to promote unity and compassion. The Prime Minister while paying tributes to Gandhiji wrote on X "I bow to Mahatma Gandhi on the special occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. His timeless teachings continue to illuminate our path. Mahatma Gandhi's impact is global, motivating the entire humankind to further the spirit of unity and compassion. May we always work towards fulfilling his dreams. May his thoughts enable every youngster to be the agent of change he dreamt of, fostering unity and harmony all over," A prayer service was held at Rajghat where Gandhiji's favorite devotional songs were played.

    The President of India on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti said that Mahatma Gandhi's ideology is timeless and will always be relevant to the world. She implored the people of the country to follow his teachings for the welfare of the country.

    It is really great that the Hon'ble President of India and the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India have remembered the contribution of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on the occasion of his birthday.

    It is very soothing to hear the melodious 'bhajans' at Rajghat which were Gandhiji's favourite.

    At the same time, it is also welcome to properly understand Gandhiji's activities and comments on the basis of new and advanced research, which are definitely throwing lights on various aspects of character and philosophy of the leader.

    Gandhiji did a lot of work and brought independence to the country. His contributions are second to none in this aspect. I pay my tributes to that man on his Jayanthi on October 2nd. Everybody will appreciate his contributions to the freedom struggle.
    October 2nd is also the birthday of Lal Bahadur Shastri, our ex-PM who coined the slogan " Jai Jawan Jai Kisan". His simplicity and ethical behaviour should be appreciated and he should be a role model to all politicians. I pay respects to this great man also on the occasion of his Jayanti on October 2nd.

    Gandhiji regarded as one of great saints looked like an ordinary man but his qualities were unique influencing a lot of people how satyagrah can prove to be strong weapon to get freedom without resorting to violence.
    He had the capacity to win the heart of the people with his ideological teachings and ultimately he made a strong force of the people to be used to get rid of thr Britishers with the observance the path of ahimsa.
    He himself followed the the discipline in the life and was so simple that he had a single set of dhoti to be used to the entire body with a simple spec. But this simple man had an indomitable spirit to achieve the most difficult task with his sustained efforts. This quality made him the great.

    So far as "simple" lifestyle of Mohandas Gandhi is concerned (as stated by Jha Sir), Sarojini Naidu once remarked about Gandhi that "it costs a lot of money to keep this man in poverty."
