Mahatma Gandhi - the symbol of Truth and Non Violence
Father of the state Gandhi is recognised as a logo of Truth and Non Violence. The term 'Non-violence' is nearly synonymous with the name of Gandhi .
Gandiji also adopted norms ofnon violence as a philosophy and a perfect way of life. In his own words, "Ahimsa is that the highest duty. We cannot practise it fully , we must attempt to understand its spirit and refrain as far as is humanly possible from violence."
According to Gandhi , people practice passive violence in daily affairs, either consciously and unconsciously. it's this type of violence that goes on to fuel physical violence.
Gandhiji's understanding of violence comes from the Sanskrit root, "himsa", which implies injury, while his understanding of nonviolence came from the word "Ahimsa".
Gandhiji translated Ahimsa as love and believed that an individual is indeed blessed if he or she will perceive the law of ahimsa even within the midst of the raging fire of himsa.
