Mahatma Gandhi

Unfinished Agenda

Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest man of the twentieth century, often talked about poverty. For the prophet of non-violence, poverty was the worst form of violence.

The Educationist

In the words of young Zakir Husain: “It was the first conscious decision of my life. Perhaps the only one I have ever taken. The rest of my life has but flowed from it.” What the new lecturer at Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College at Aligarh referred to was his crucial decision in 1919- 20 to respond to Mahatma Gandhi’s appeal for non-cooperation.

Salt of the Earth

Long before the Salt Satyagraha was launched by Mahatma Gandhi from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad on 12 March 1930, there were popular uprisings, hunger-strikes in jails, workers' strikes and public processions denouncing the ruthless colonial rule subjugating the country.
