Gandhi and Philosophy: An Outstanding Contribution to Growth of Nationalism in India

Abstract

Gandhian philosophy has given an outstanding contribution for growing the spirit of ‘Nationalism’ in India. The philosophy of Gandhi on multifaceted views on politics, the truth, the ‘Satyagarh’ and secular view on religious faith have given rise to ‘cementing force’ to develop ‘Nationalism’ in India. The other views on women’s right, decentralized democracy by empowering the Gram Panchayats, the rural development and the vision on ‘Ram Rajaya’ have cumulatively, have been proved conducive to grow the ‘Nationalism’ in India.
