He further added that our Prime Minister while launching the second stage of Swachh Bharat has emphasised that the Principles of Gandhian Ideology is still relevant. 


In his address, Professor Anamik Shah emphasised that to understand Gandhi we have to see him from different perspectives and dimensions. According to him, Gandhi believed in step by step progress to bring about transformation, he diligently observed the Indian State of affairs before jumping into the freedom struggle. He developed a connection with people by understanding their needs. Everyone considered Gandhi as their own whether they be socialist, communist, revolutionaries or moderates and even by the Britishers at times. His means and methods were all inclusive. Infact by stressing upon the use of vernacular language for education, he won the faith of the Indian masses. Congress leaders and other freedom fighters like Desh Bandhu Das, Motilal Nehru and others left their lucrative careers under his influence in 1920 and joined in the creation of the different institutions which are still running in the present times. He further added that Gandhi was a visionary, he could look beyond the obvious and hence suggested that the Tilak Swaraj Fund be utilised to promote charkha and make the nation self-reliant. Acharya Javadekar in his Adhunik Bharat highlights how Gandhi by declaring that ‘violence will not be the right method and strategy to fight with the British’, took a centre stage in the minds of the people at BHU. He is a modern man for the virtues as he possessed and a classic for his distance from vices.
