On October 2, 2024, India proudly celebrates the 154th birth anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, lovingly known as Bapu. Born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat, Mahatma Gandhi played a pivotal role in India’s freedom struggle against British colonial rule. His unwavering belief in Swaraj (self-governance) and Ahimsa (non-violence) not only led to India gaining independence in 1947 but also earned him global admiration.
Recognized as the International Day of Non-Violence, Gandhi Jayanti is marked with tributes from world leaders who gather at Rajghat in New Delhi to honor his legacy. Gandhi’s teachings on peace, self-reliance, and non-violence remain as relevant today as they were during his lifetime, inspiring the ongoing construction of a self-reliant India.
