Thread: Is Mahatma Gandhi relevant now ?

Well the answer can't be generalized... it depends upon the situation... since the environment has changed, his principles can't be applied @ all places, but ya, on many other fronts they continue to b strong!!

I don't think he will ever stop being relevant. He's an integral part of our nationhood, so whether his legacy is positive or negative, it will be a part of the national fabric.

Mahatma GAndhi and his principles are not relevant in todays scenario.. people have become sefish these days and they believe in tit for tat.. they will not put their cheek forward if someone hits them on the other cheek.. they will simply hit back hard..

If you watch the movie Munna bhai MBBS then you will realize that Mahatama Gandhi and his teachings are relevant now a days .. but in movies alone.. they cannot be in real.. Though a little bit of affcet has been seen after this movie like a guy clearing the floor just after watching the movie outside the hall.. but noone remembers it now..

Gandhi and his thoughts have relavance for ever. The problem is with the failure of us in not understanding what he really stands for. Some how we are used to take the freedom and the the democracy for granted and are really not understanding the role of gandhian thought in shaping this country.

Gandhi is one of the major contributions to world civilization from India.

Mahatma Gandhi is still much relevant. Particularly his principles of Truth , if prevails in our politicians, country would prosper like anything. His passion for service of down troden, his vision of gram -swaraj would bring in much desired rural development.

...everything differs from person to person. Mahatma Gandhi is relevant for me and many others....it's up to the person.

"Be the change you want to see in the world" - Gandhi... Of course, he's relevant. If everyone follows this one principle of his, India will be a greater country than it is now.

@srinuthethename: Mahatma Gandhi is not irrelevant.. Its just people do not want to settle down things with peace .. they are becoming more and more aggressive may be like you.. You have showed your anger by just mere name of M.K. Gandhi.. But not to forget what all he has done for the country..

After seeing the consequences of Anna Hazare revolution and fight for freedom that forces to introduce the Jan Lokpal Bill and that too without doing any violent activity. I think Mahatma Gandhi is relevant in today's time as well as no one has the power to get this bill passed with violent activity. If someone take action and show anger being violent then people would simply consider them terrorist or people from differet party that paves way to such agitations. To me, M.K. Gandhi is relevant nowadays as well.
