Gandhi Jayanti is a National Holiday celebrated in India to mark the occasion of the birthday of Mohandas Gandhi, the "Father of the Nation." He was born on October 2, 1869. Hence Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated every year on the 2nd of October.
It is one of the three official declared National Holidays of India and is observed in all Indian states and union territories. The United Nations General Assembly announced on 15 June 2007 that it adopted a resolution which declared that the 2nd of October will be celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence.
Gandhiji is not to be studied and seen as a static person but as an ever changing and growing personality; as he himself said, ” In my search after Truth I have discarded many thoughts and learnt many new things and, therefore, when anyone finds any inconsistency between any two writings of mine, if he has still faith in my sanity, he would do well to choose the later of the two on the same subject.”
Gandhi was the main leader of India’s anti-colonial struggle but he primarily came to lead the struggle because he saw Colonialism as the symbol of domination and oppression of the weak and downtrodden.
Gandhi saw himself rightly and primarily as a champion of the downtrodden. He was clear in his mind that there were other problems to which he wanted to devote attention in his own lifetime and which he hoped to attend to after gaining independence for the country.
For example, he devoted a large part of his efforts in addressing the issues related to the discrimination against the downtrodden.
