Prof. Stephen Legg from the School of Geography, University of Nottingham, UK delivered an engrossing presentation on ‘Reapproaching Gandhi’s time in London 1931: Silences and Domestic Spaces’. Prof Legg recounted many interesting incidents, embellished with pictures about the time Gandhi spent in London while attending the Second Round table Conference in London as the representative of the Indian National Congress. Prof Legg drew attention to the fact that Gandhiji choose to stay in the working class neighbourhood of East End of London for the duration of the conference. Gandhi was especially interested in the women from the working class. Nancy Cox McCormach was an artist who followed Gandhiji to Kingsley Hall and joined the other ladies like Mira Behn and Sarojini Naidu who were also in London at that time.

The third speaker of the first session was Prof Petra Molthan-Hill from the Nottingham Business School, Nothingham Trent University, UK. She shared her views on Climate Change Education and its linkages with Gandhian philosophy and views on finding sustainable ways of living. The change and propagation in education can be a key factor in averting climate change and also preparing the next generation to deal with the various challenges and issues posed by the pandemic. Carbon Literacy training and better awareness of the impact of human activity on the climate and environment can be the ways forward as already advocated by the Gandhian concept of sustainable living. The invigorating session concluded with the Vote of Thanks were Dr Simrit Kahlon from the Department of Geography, Panjab University, Chandigarh.

Session IV

The second session of Day 2 was moderated by Major General Dhruv Katoch, Director, India Foundation, New Delhi and had distinguished speakers who shed light on the theme of ‘Sarvodaya and Service of Human Society: Global Relevance Today’. Sir Meghnad Desai, renowned economist from the London School of Economics, UK shared extremely interesting 2 observations on ‘Mohan to Mahatma: How an ordinary young man from Porbandar became Gandhi’. Sir Desai elaborated how self aware and conscious Gandhi was even as a young child, as becomes evident from his reactions on the death of his father. His decision to learn Latin also shows his determination to be different and unstinting ability for diligence. During his London days as a student, Gandhi did not feel discriminated against and at the age of 21, he was convinced that he was not inferior to any one by any means.

Prof Rajvashisth Tripathi from BHU and University of California delved upon ‘Sarvodaya and Human Selfishness: Prospects of regulating selfish genes by human thoughts. Sanatani Sanskriti or Sanatan educated individual is the basis of Indian philosophy and in his book ‘Hind Swaraj’ Gandhi realised that selfishness was at the core of Indian capitalism. Only with Sanatan cultural thinking will India be able to extract the full potential from Nai Talim or the New Education Policy 2020.

Dr Linda Gibson from the School of Social Science, Nottingham Trent University, UK spoke at length about the ethics and philosophy in partnerships. There have to be shared values in the social, cultural and educational context for any partnership to be successful. All partners have to demonstrate ample responsibility and ownership for the partnership to be successful.

Chairperson, Peace Studies, Philippines Prof. Herbert Bufete Rosana spoke about the significance of Gandhi and Tolstoy pacifism in the present geo political situation and security concerns. He described both the global icons Gandhi and Tolstoy as being the embodiments of eastern and Western philosophies. Gandhi was inspired by Tolstoy’s ideas of non-violence and also derived these ideas from Hinduism.

Mr. Sanjoy Singh, Secretary, Government of India also spoke about the relevance of Sarvodaya in today’s times. In the second phase of the freedom movement, Gandhi used the principles of Sarvodaya to establish the vision of society as it would exist in independent India. The basic premise of Sarvodaya and indeed Gandhian philosophy is Love and we should attempt to imbibe this feeling on love for the other.

The stimulating session concluded with the Vote of Thanks by Prof. Anju Suri, Dean International Students, PU and Former Chairperson, Department of History, Panjab University, Chandigarh who is also the Director of the 3 day International conference.

After paying the homage to all the Martyrs, Professor Ronki Ram in his presidential remarks asked everyone to follow the path of Nonviolence as to resolve the conflicts in the society,only Gandhian ideology is the best solution for the same, whether they are social, religious, economic or any other issues. His most contribution to this world is how to look at the conflict and to find the solution for the parties. His concept was not focussed on the win of the one party but for both the parties and with the concept of democratic way the real meaning of resolution of the conflict situation can be achieved and the welfare of the masses can be seen. In his online lecture on “गांधी जी को दिए गए मानपत्र”  Professor Mehboob Desai narrated various examples from one of his latest research work which was high appreciated by many that whenever Gandhi ji was awarded with different citations and narrations which were not only different in nature but the wordings of the same were as such that they suited his personality. These citations/ honorary recitations were offered to him where ever he had gone which included the South African phase also. Apart from the citations some amount was also attached with the same but Gandhi ji never taken those amounts and always handed over the same in the national account of the Congress party for the welfare of the masses. And there were occasions where Gandhi ji mentioned that when we are awarding someone with the kind of citations to any one then they should have some guidelines in the form that they should be handwritten, on hand made paper with natural colours and it should be related with the kind of situation and the hard work of the person who had contributed to the society. And in the end he also asked the audience that if the Gandhian thoughts are added while awarding the Citations then it would be very beneficial to all. 

The event was attended by the senior faculty members of the other departments including Professor Monica, Prof. Navjot  and also the research scholars and Master students. Dr. Ashu Pasricha faculty member of the department proposed the vote of thanks to all.
