In redeeming the country from the clutches of foreign rule and in nation building following that, Mahatma <keyword id="6356181" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gandhi" source="Orion">Gandhi</keyword> had a very significant role. Gandhi was born in Porbandar of Gujarat on October 2 and in his memory, <keyword id="6481694" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gandhi-jayanti" source="Orion">Gandhi Jayanti</keyword> is celebrated in India declaring it as a public holiday in memory of this great personality who inspired this nation with patriotism and non-violence. Gandhi’s unique method of <keyword id="95773" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="satyagraha" source="Orion">Satyagraha</keyword> or peaceful non-cooperation has secured him universal fame. When it comes to peaceful protest, Gandhi’s philosophy and strategies have given a lead to the world. While the country is preparing to celebrate Mahatma’s birthday on 2October 2021, here is a list of famous quotes from Gandhi. Gandhi’s philosophy of Sarvodaya One of Gandhi’s biggest contributions to nation building was Sarvodaya. Once Mr. Polak, Gandhi’s intimate friend introduced Gandhi to Ruskin Bond’s ‘Unto This Last’, which gandhiji read during his train journey from Johannesburg to Durban. The biggest impact left by the book on Gandhi made him paraphrase the concept of this book into the term ‘Sarvodaya’. Gandhi's thoughts on Sarvodaya can be summed up in three of his quotes namely, “The good of the individual is contained in the welfare of all.” “All have the same right of earning their livelihood from their work.” “That life of labour is the life worth living.” Gandhi on self-respect Most of Gandhi’s teachings stemmed from his idea of self-respect. Self-respect according to Gandhi is the product of every man’s feeling of self-dignity and confidence in one’s potentials, abilities and goodness. Gandhi always insisted on being true to one’s own conscience and also the need of man’s thoughts, words and actions to always get aligned with his deepest convictions meaning the unity of thought, word and deed. Gandhi’s quotes on self-respect can inspire anyone with a renewed perception of one’s own self. “I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one’s self-respect.” “Nobody can hurt me without my permission.” “I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.” Gandhi on non-violence Gandhi strongly recommended a non-violent protest for India’s freedom against foreign rule and oppression. Gandhi’s massive victory in South Africa against the racial injustice had made the Satyagraha or non-violent non-cooperation movement highly popular in India before he arrived on the national scene. Gandhi spoke so much on non-violence and he shaped the freedom struggle closely in alignment with his principles of non-violence or Ahimsa. A few of Gandhi’s thoughts on non-violence are indeed awe-inspiring. “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave”. “Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence.” “We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.” “When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible.” “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.” Gandhi on love and service Gandhi believed that individual and social transformation can ensue only from love and selfless service. He advocated that the highest good is to be able to love all unconditionally and be bent on the largest good for the largest number. Gandhi’s quotes on love and service have inspired millions in the path of non-violence and a peaceful protest for achieving greater goals in addition to refining one’s one self. “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” “Whenever you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love.” “To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”

We are feeling alone, overwhelmed with the spike in cases, and have been living with the constant fear that someone close to us or someone we know might succumb to the virus, for the past 1.5 years. With each passing day, it gets a little difficult to hold onto hope for a better tomorrow. If the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi were alive today, when we are faced with multi-layered crises such as global pandemic, climate crisis, economic recession, to name a few, he would have encouraged Indian citizens to manifest values of self-discipline, perseverance, and self-sufficiency. He would have walked with our urban migrants back to their homes, reminded us to stay united from a distance, used his mighty pen to send the message of resilience, thank doctors and environmental activists for their phenomenal work and lead the country towards the path of empathy and togetherness. On the occasion of <keyword id="791333" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mahatma-Gandhi-Jayanti" source="Orion">Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti</keyword>, EdTech Giant BYJU’s wanted to remind us that while the leader might not be with us today, he has taught us some invaluable lessons. Acted and voiced-over by the veteran actor Padma Shri Manoj Kumar, BYJU’S film applauds four individuals from different walks of life who have personified Gandhi’s ideals and brought about a change in society. The campaign celebrates Jamuna Tuddu, a Padma Shri awardee who has over the years fought the jungle mafia and given a lease of life to 100+ acre of forests; Sapan Patralekh, headmaster of a school in Jharkhand, who ensured that the learning journey for tribal kids did not suffer due to the closure of class rooms post the pandemic. He transformed village walls into colorful open classrooms; Dr Ganesh Rakh, who delivers girl child for free in his hospital; Kameshwar Wagmare, a 14-year-old kid who saved 2 of 3 kids from drowning. He received the Pradhan Mantri, Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2021 for the courageous act. <div type="Youtube" id="gTAd5kwP8ok" title="Bapu Ki Aawaz (Celebrating The Mahatma) | (Ft. Padma Shri Manoj Kumar)" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gTAd5kwP8ok/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Vineet Singh, Vice President, Brand &amp; Creative StrategyThink &amp; Learn Pvt. Ltd. (BYJU'S) took us behind the scenes and walked us through the conceptualisation and execution process of the campaign. He shared, “The thought came from the fact that we really wanted to celebrate Baapu and we wanted to celebrate him with real life stories and how, while the whole world is talking about how humanity is dead, and people are not selfless anymore, we wanted to actually go out and celebrate that Baapu's belief of selflessness is still alive.” In a country of 138 crore people that is home to a lot of different cultures and traditions, and almost all of these cultures believe in celebrating empathy and selflessness, it was challenging for BYJU’s to find just four people who truly embody Gandhiji’s values. Telling us how the in-house team finalised their campaign’s protagonists, Singh said, “We wanted to cover a few facets that currently are troubling us across the country. Look at how the environment is suffering -- it's a conversation that everyone's having across the globe. Padmashree Jamuna Tuddu was an example who exists in our society and has worked towards saving 100 plus acres of forest in her region, but her message travels across the country. Then, we wanted to honor people who are doing something for the girl child. As a country, we are developing and we are getting to a place where men and women are getting equal as the day progresses, but little efforts like what Dr. Ganesh Rakh has done, is making that dream come true. After the pandemic, all schools were shut down in cities, and imagine what happened in remote Tribal Areas. So, we wanted to cover how people went out of their way there to bring alive education and Dr. Sapan was a great story. And finally, just an act of selflessness and bravery -- a 14-year -old kid jumping into the water because he saw two other young boys drowning. So, the reason why we chose these 4 people was because their stories were extremely fascinating, had a huge amount of thought and selflessness associated with it.” Singh recently joined BYJU’s from <keyword id="4052133" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wework-india" source="Orion">WeWork India</keyword>. In his new role, he is hoping to help BYJU’s become the most loved edtech brand in India. His latest campaign with his team is just a part of many campaigns that would aim to position BYJU’s India’s most loved brand. Sharing his larger vision for the brand, he said, “The objective is to become one of the most loved brands in the country. And that's going to be the objective for this fiscal year, or the next fiscal year or any other fiscal year that we talk about until we get there.” CREDITS: Featured Stories: Dr. Sapan Kumar Patralekh, Dr. Ganesh Rakh, Padma Shri Jamuna Tudu and Kameshwar Waghmare Actor: Padma Shri Manoj Kumar Child Actor: Aashna Vaishnav &amp; Vidhaan Sharma Concept: Hitesh Bhagia (Sr. Director – Brand &amp; Creative Strategy, BYJU’S) Production: Hitesh Theodore Pereira (Principal Director - Media, BYJU’S) Directed By: Sonal Batra Production House: Dora Digs Produced By: Akshay Shah Team Dora Digs: Muskan Singhal, Vikas Malhotra, Suraj Shinde, Prathamesh Kamble, Vipul Mehta, Tushar Haware, Jitendra Kumar, Rohit Tiwari, Dinesh Malvi DOP: Jay Charola Editor: Falgun Busa Screenplay: Geet Sagar Music Director: Anand Bajpai Associate Producer: Sebastian Francis Line Producer: Dilip Sahoo &amp; Team Chief AD: Ayan Poddar &amp; Ardra Swaroop DI: Yash Soni

The programme could be termed partly successful as it provided access to toilet facilities to millions of rural households in the country. However, it failed to change the mindset of people who want to defecate in public. An increasing number of toilets According to government figures, more than 100 million toilets were built in the last five years. "Twenty-seven states, 601 districts, 5,934 blocks, 2,46,116 gram panchayats and 5,50,151 villages have been declared open defecation free (ODF),” the former Minister of State for Drinking Water and Sanitation Ramesh Chandappa Jigajinag told Lok Sabha in February.

However, the number of such people was earlier at 70% in 2014. "The fraction of people who own a latrine, but who nevertheless defecate in the open, did not change between 2014 and 2018: it was about 23% in both years,” reported India spend.

Below is the transcription of the letter that Einstein wrote to Gandhi 
 
Respected Mr. Gandhi 
I use the presence of your friend in our home to send you these lines. You have shown through your works, that it is possible to succeed without violence even with those who have not discarded the method of violence. We may hope that your example will spread beyond the borders of your country, and will help to establish an international authority, respected by all, that will take decisions and replace war conflicts. 
With sincere admiration, 
Yours 
(Signed, ‘A. Einstein’) 
I hope that I will be able to meet you face to face some day.

LONDON, 
October 18, 1931 
DEAR FRIEND, 
I was delighted to have your beautiful letter sent through Sundaram. It is a great consolation to me that the work I am doing finds favour in your sight. I do indeed wish that we could meet face to face and that too in India at my Ashram. 
Yours sincerely, 
 
The admiration doesn’t just end there. Below is a sound clip of Einstein speaking about the Father of the Nation, way back in 1950.

"India is seeing strong FII net outflows and needs to do more on the policy front to make expensive markets attractive to global capital flows.

Things are not rosy for Indian markets, but the primary market frenzy continues unabated. Caution amid volatility,” said Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert. Experts highlighted that globally, markets are witnessing a shift after the Fed rate cut announcements, rising geopolitical tensions and foreign investors are pulling money out of Indian markets to invest in other markets like China are other reasons for selling pressure.
