On October 2nd this year, we are celebrating the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Indian philosopher and activist, defender of the nonviolence school of thought. (Ministry of Culture Government of India, n.d.) Gandhi\u2019s impact was so immense in India, and he was considered a hero, that his birthday is a national holiday, called the festival of Gandhi Jayanti. (Withnall, 2018) In 2007, his birthday also became the International Day of Nonviolence (declared by the United Nations General Assembly). (United Nations, n.d.) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1869, Gandhi fought for India\u2019s independence from British rule, after returning from South Africa where he began his protests. He was an anti-colonial nationalist that advocated for nonviolent resistance. (Hardiman, n.d.) He preferred soul-power, over the power of the gun. In the anti-colonial context, he thought it best to non-violently communicate to the colonialists that India wanted its independence. His ideas, at the time, were thus shaped as a reaction to the threat of colonialism. (Ministry of Culture Government of India, n.d.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also an increasing awareness concerning Gandhi\u2019s racist and sexist views, regarding his treatment of South Africans and his comments on women, respectively. Even though he brought about the world the important concept of nonviolence, Gandhi was not a perfect man. (Sen, 2015)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global impact and global movement of Gandhi the philosopher<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, his ideas and actions are still very important today because they can be applied to many situations of violence throughout the world. In fact, shortly after Gandhi was assassinated, post hunger strike, it was Martin Luther King, Jr. in the United States that picked up nonviolent activism for the Civil Rights Movement. (Ministry of Culture Government of India, n.d.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although their movements were mainly nationally lead, they had impacts throughout the world. Across the globe, nonviolent action has aspirations for \u201cworld peace, individual empowerment, and societal transformation.\u201d It was a philosophy of strong resistance to unjust and immoral movements, without violence, which has been so prominent throughout history. Violence from the authorities and the states have been, in the past, particularly intense, and have often incited violence from the citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gandhi proposed a new world order with nonviolence. (Ministry of Culture Government of India, n.d.) Nonviolence proves to be a form of peaceful resistance, where the citizens are not obliged to cooperate and consent to the power of rulers, as that is the principle of democracy<\/a> (that rulers need the consent of the people in order to rule) (Ochab, n.d.). The UN defines nonviolent action<\/a> in three main ways: protest and persuasion with marches and vigils, non-cooperation, and nonviolent intervention such as blockades and occupations. (United Natons, n.d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nHumanium, we promote Gandhian philosophy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gandhi\u2019s ideas are particularly important for us here at Humanium <\/a>as we advocate for nonviolence in every project we sustain. We support a methodology that not only condemns violence, but aims in every way to promote nonviolent communication and actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Rwanda, our projects focus on liberating children and adults from the multiple trauma of the extremely violent Rwandan genocide of 1994. In particular, our project focuses on healing humans and stepping out of the cycle of violence that has been living in and amongst them since those terrible other times. In India, our projects focus on ending child labor, an also violent practice still utilized throughout the world. Indeed, our projects focus on promoting world peace for children, and eradicating violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Humanium works with Life coaches, psychologists, leadership graduates, and Somatic Experiencing therapists that engage in verbal conversations with the civilians in question. We value talking, as we believe conversations are nonviolent means of helping out children and people in difficult situations. Sustainable development projects, as the ones we conducted in India, are important ways of advocating nonviolence by promoting peace. Nonviolence can also positively shape the education of children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As said by Gandhi himself, \u201cif we are to reach real peace in the world, we shall have to begin with the children.\u201d It is true that nonviolent ways of education have proven more effective. We thus hope as an NGO, with our projects, to encourage children to nonviolently stand up for themselves, and express themselves completely. As Gandhian philosophy has influenced us immensely, we celebrate Gandhi\u2019s 150th birthday, and the International Day of Nonviolence, and encourage others to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official celebrations conducted by India\u2019s government<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Officially, the government of India has created a Committee in order to take charge of the celebration of the 150th birthday, at the national and the international level. The National Committee, headed by Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister, has been created for this purpose. It includes Gandhians, and people from all walks of life. The Ministry of Culture of India proposes, through its Gandhi website<\/a>, many activities throughout the upcoming years celebrating Gandhi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming projects range from painting exhibitions, to street plays about cleanliness, to youth conferences. (Ministry of Culture Government of India, n.d.) This planning began the day after the 149th birthday, and will go on for two years, kicking off the celebrations with an exhibition in the National Museum of Gandhi in Delhi in October 2018, with the robe that Gandhi was wearing when he was assassinated, and an audio recording of Gandhi\u2019s heartbeat. (Ganapathy, 2018) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the government has shown a gallery of commemorative stamps<\/a> on its website. Nationwide, they launched the Imagine Gandhi Contest, in order to promote Gandhi\u2019s teachings through virtual reality creations. In February 2019, the government organized a Drive for Peace<\/a>, during which participants drove through India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar, in order to promote the idea of road safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government also planned Gandhi Global Solar Yatra<\/a>, aiming to sensitize the youth to solar methods beneficial to climate change initiatives. Lastly, as a large project, there was the Gandhi Peace Prize Award<\/a>, giving an award to individuals, associations, institutions, or organizations \u201cwho have worked selflessly for peace, non-violence, amelioration of human sufferings,\u201d which was held in February 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global celebrations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Outside of India\u2019s official activities, there are also other ways to celebrate Gandhi. For example, Audley Travel, a UK travelling agency, proposes a trip to India to visit Gandhi\u2019s frequented places, passing by museums and universities established by Gandhi, in order to better understand the man and the movement he led in India. It takes 16 days, and can still be completed. (Magyarics, 2019) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The UK, with the participation of the Indian High Commission, celebrated the beginning of the 150th anniversary in October 2018, with the showing of the \u2018Bapu150\u2019 film in Piccadilly Circus, a work celebrating Gandhian ideas on nonviolence. (Press Trust of India, 2018) There are thus opportunities across the globe to celebrate nonviolence and the benefits it has brought us. The UN has also celebrated Gandhi, in the past, with the International Day of Nonviolence. Notably, in 2009, they issued a commemorative stamp with Gandhi\u2019s portrait. This helped raise awareness. (United Nations, n.d.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 2nd, celebrate nonviolence!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughout\nthe world, there are multiple celebrations. There are many talks, conferences,\nand entertaining events that aim at celebrating the work of the man who shaped\nnonviolence philosophy. We encourage our readers to research what they can do\nin their community in order to celebrate whether that be attend talks, or\nparticipate in sanitation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
