Situating The Relevance Of Gandhian Principles In The Contemporary Society




Yash Garg, Symbiosis Law School, Nagpur

Gandhi, is not just a name, it is an institution, an institution that teaches us to live our life for others, for the greater good. Gandhi, is a feeling that fills our hearts with colors of nationalism and self-reliance. Every child knows Mahatma Gandhi, after all, he is the Father of the Nation. If it was not Gandhi, then no one could ever imagine that the shackles of slavery can be broken by peaceful and nonviolent means. Two hundred years under British rule over India came to end following the principles of truthfulness, sacrifice, non-violence, selfless service, and cooperation. "There is no god higher than truth," Gandhi stated. Nonviolence, in Gandhi's opinion, is the ultimate solution to all problems in the world.

Gandhi showed a world tired of wars and unending devastation that truth and nonviolence are not only for individuals but can be applied globally as well. Gandhi's vision for India and his aspirations for the community as a whole are still valid today. He persuaded the community to absorb and reflect fundamental human values, as well as to take part in duties that would benefit the community as a whole.

TV channels, blogging, and social media are examples of electronic media. Because they are equally available on the Internet, old-style publications and broadcasters have also become electronic. To put it another way, practically all journalism, newspapers, and telephone calls have been replaced by electronic media. Electronic media has taken the shape of projectors, CD players, video players, and tape recorders. Projectors, CD players, and video recorders have all become obsolete. Only a few seconds are required for electronic media to operate. When it comes to the effectiveness of electronic media, distance plays minimal role. This is a considerably later epoch than Mahatma Gandhi's. He could not have predicted today's tremendous developments. Despite this constraint, Gandhi's concept, ideas, and vision have a timeless quality to them since they are very important for defining basic policymaking standards and demonstrating the road to balanced media operations and performance in this age of social networking.
