Introduction of Mahatma Gandhi:

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in Porbanda in Gujarat on 2th October, 1869. His father was Karamchand Uttamchand Gandhi. He went to England for higher education of law in 1888 and returned to India in 1891. In 1893, he went to South Africa to prosecute a case and remain there till 1914. There,he adopted the policy of truth and non-violence to oppose the British Government for its racial discrimination and oppressive rule through his practice of ‘Satyagraha’.

In 1914, Gandhiji came back to India from South Africa. In India, he led many movements and satyagrahas in Champaran, Ahmedabad and Kheda. In the beginning till 1918, Gandhiji was a co – operator of British Government. He co – operated with the British Government during First World War, so he was honoured and awarded the title ‘Kesar – e – Hind’. But the events of Rowlatt Act 1919, Jallianwala Bagh massacre (1919),and Khilafat Movement 1920, made Gandhiji a great opponent of the British government.

The concept of Ram – Rajya by Gandhiji is attached with the concept of classless and stateless society. According to Gandhiji, Ram – rajya could be established only when the governance would be decentralized, there would be cottage industries in every village everyone would be self sufficient and be able to cultivate as much as needed. In the society, the most inferior person would get social acceptance and benefits, also economic and political justice.

Gandhiji considered that politics is deeply related to religion and to morality. According to him, without religion, the politics in a state is like death. Gandhiji himself was a karmyogi. He was inspired deeply by the ‘Geeta’ and considered that the other name of religion is to perform one’s duty and only a dutiful man can be called a perfect man.

According to Gandhiji, the form of state is:

Religious opinion: A godly state.

Economic opinion: 

The decentralized arrangement of simple and easy lifestyle on the basis of minimum human necessities. The satisfaction of human is the major basis instead of profit motive.

Social opinion:

A society in the form of an extended family without any discrimination.

Political opinion:

All bindings in this decentralized governance are moral and self-controlled. There is no inequality of caste, religion, language, region, color, wealth etc. Justice is always available for all. All the citizens use their freedom in a pious way.
