Discover how Gandhi's legacy shapes our lives today, from political debates to social justice triumphs!
October 2nd might just be another day in your calendar filled with tasks, Netflix, or squabbles about who’s on dish duty. But for many around the globe, it's Gandhi Jayanti—the 155th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, India’s beloved ‘Bapu’ who taught us about peace, non-violence, and the importance of straightening our chakras just as much as our truths. From Pune to the peaceful hills of Himachal Pradesh, events dedicated to the teachings of Gandhi have sprouted like wildflowers in monsoon season!
In 1940, not even cricket was spared from Gandhi’s watchful eye. Did you know that he opposed a tournament based on religious segregation? Just imagine Gandhi dodging the cricket shots while passionately arguing for harmony! Yes, that’s right—our beloved Bapu used his persuasive prowess to make sure everyone played together on the same team. Even today, Gandhi’s values stir conversations, whether it’s about civil rights or a trendy social media influencer using hashtags like #Ahimsa while casually munching on a designer vegan burger.
Fast forward to the present, where Maharashtra Congress leaders gathered on this special day to honor their great-grandfather's legacy. It included everyone from political bigwigs to actors for whom Gandhi’s life is a career—and a living example. Even the Tibetan government-in-exile held its own celebrations, showing that Gandhi's ideals of peace and non-violence truly know no boundaries, unlike your uncle when he’s on a fishing trip where ‘catch of the day’ is a very subjective term!
Let’s not forget the Aditya Birla Group, which rolled out a campaign titled ‘Instruments of Change’ to demonstrate how Gandhi's teachings continue to inspire today’s leaders and companies to bring about social change. On social media, influencers couldn’t resist riffing on what Gandhi would do if he were alive today, with some imagining him mastering Instagram as effortlessly as he mastered the art of civil disobedience.
Interesting Fact: Did you know that the International Day of Non-Violence is celebrated every year on October 2? Sounds like a perfect excuse for a guilt-free day off! And here's a kicker: Gandhi once said, 'An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.' So, as we honor our ‘Bapu,’ let’s remember—while he may not judge us for our occasional road rage, he’d definitely suggest a daily dose of kindness instead!
