1. Indian Civilization and Culture
-Mahatma Gandhi
MOHAN DAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI (1869-1948), popularly known as Bapu or the Father of the Nation, was more a spiritual leader than a politician. He successfully used truth and non-violence as the chief weapons against the British rule in India and helped India gain independence. From 1915 till 1948, he completely dominated Indian politics. He died at the hands of a fanatic on 30 January, 1948. His autobiography, My Experiments with Truth, and the numerous articles that he wrote for Young India and the speeches that he delivered 1 on different occasions, reveal him not only as an original thinker but also as a great master of chaste, idiomatic English. In the following extract ‘Indian Civilization and Culture,’ Gandhiji talks about the sound foundation of – Indian civilization which has successfully withstood the passage of time. The western civilization which has the tendency to privilege materiality cannot match the Indian civilization that elevates the moral being.
(बापू अथवा राष्ट्रपिता के नाम से विख्यात मोहनदास कर्मचन्द गाँधी (1869-1948) एक राजनीतिज्ञ होने से ज्यादा | एक आत्मिक नेता थे। उन्होंने भारत में ब्रिटिश शासन के खिलाफ सत्य एवं अहिंसा को अपने प्रमुख शस्त्रों के रूप में सफलतापूर्वक प्रयोग किया तथा भारत को स्वतंत्र कराने में मदद की। 1915 से 1948 तक, वह भारतीय राजनीति में पूरी तरह से छाए रहे। 30 जनवरी 1948 को वह एक सनकी व्यक्ति के हाथों मारे गए। उनकी आत्मकथा ‘My Experiments with truth’. कई लेख जो उन्होंने Young India पत्र के लिए लिखे तथा वे भाषण जो उन्होंने विभिन्न अवसरों पर दिए, वे उन्हें एक वास्तविक विचारक के तौर पर ही नहीं अपितु आडंबर रहित एवं मुहावरेदार अंग्रेजी के बहुत बड़े विद्वान के तौर पर भी प्रकट करते हैं। इस अंश ‘Indian Civilization and Culture’ में, गाँधीजी भारतीय सभ्यता की सुदृढ़ बुनियाद के बारे में बताते हैं जोकि समय के साथ-साथ सफलतापूर्वक डटी हुई है। पश्चिमी सभ्यता जोकि भौतिक स्वाधिकार की मानसिकता रखती है, भारतीय सभ्यता जोकि नैतिकता पर बल देती है, से मेल नहीं खा सकती।)
