Abstract
Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy, deeply rooted in truth, non-violence, and self-reliance, remains profoundly relevant in the 21st century, addressing contemporary challenges such as political corruption, economic disparity, environmental degradation, and social unrest. His principles of Satyagraha and Ahimsa continue to inspire non-violent resistance movements worldwide, emphasizing moral strength over coercion. Gandhi’s vision for decentralized democracy, economic self-sufficiency, and an education system focused on holistic and skill-based learning offers a sustainable alternative to modern industrialization and urban-centric development. His advocacy for village-based governance, equitable economic structures, and ethical leadership aligns with global efforts toward participatory democracy, rural empowerment, and environmental sustainability. As societies grapple with issues of inequality, violence, and materialism, revisiting Gandhi’s ideals provides a framework for building a more just, inclusive, and ethically conscious world.
