The Humankind is well aware that Bapu, the Global Icon and messiah of Non-Violence, fought all his life for Cleanliness and for the Human Rights & Social Justice. “Sanitation is more important than independence,” stated Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhiji emphasized the need for lavatory cleanliness, saying that a lavatory should be as clean as a living room. He included hygiene and sanitation in the Gandhian way of life. Everyone has to be educated about cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation, and the different diseases that are brought on by unsanitary environments. Gandhian concepts on Satyagraha, Education, Unity, Truth etc relate to Human Rights and responsibilities. Gandhiji stood for love, universal brotherhood, freedom, justice and equality to him. Service to Community is service to God. Human rights are said to be those fundamental rights which every man or woman inhabiting any part of the world should be entitled to by virtue of having been born as a human being.
It was the matter of Pride worldwide when the Secretary-General of United Nations António Guterres said “Gandhiji’s vision and philosophy are pillars of the work of the United Nations”.
Part of Bapu’s genius lay in his ability to see the inter-connectedness and the unity between all things. His political achievements included leading the movement that ended colonial rule in India, using peace, love and integrity to prevail. But his vision went far beyond politics to encompass human rights and sustainable development.
Gandhi promoted non-violence not just as a philosophy and a political strategy, but as a means to achieve justice and change. Indeed, many of his ideas foreshadow the holistic thinking behind the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Bapu understood the importance of advocacy and action around the issue of sanitation and led campaigns for clean drinking water and hygienic facilities when this issue was still deeply taboo. Gandhi’s efforts on behalf of people of lower caste and those considered “untouchables”, whom he renamed “Harijan” or “Children of God”, should inspire us in our efforts to leave no one behind, and to help those farthest behind first. Gandhi looked at the world from the point of view of the lowliest and the most humble – but is acknowledged as one of the greatest leaders of all time. His values truly transcend borders.
Gandhi’s enduring legacy is his continued relevance to our thinking and action on a broad sweep of issues, from protecting the environment to promoting justice, from education to inequality. His teaching remains fresh and thought-provoking, including his emphasis on the importance of facing up to the truth with courage.
Bapu’s most important legacy was in creating a culture of peace, in proving the effectiveness of non- violent non-cooperation, and drawing the world’s attention to the gap between what we do, and what we are capable of doing. Gandhi’s ideas drive the work of the humanity for equality, empowerment and global citizenship every day.
