If the beginning of the twentieth century was to signify anything then the world would have been destroyed by now. There as violence and counter-violence everywhere. The world was reeling under the pressures of two world wars. Imperialism was resulting in violence everywhere. Everyone was practicing his mental and physical power to overpower the others. The time was ideal for the birth of new philosophy that would take the world by surprise, which would change the thinking of whole world, which would regenerate the humanness of human being and kill their baser instincts. No points for guessing the country of birth of the philosopher and philosophy i.e. INDIA, yes the same country which has solution to each and every problem of the world. The philosophy is ‘ahimsa or ‘non violence’ and the philosopher was ‘Mahatma Gandhi’.
Gandhiji realized that the world was being tested of its patience, tolerance level and its ability to accept failures. People simply didn’t accept that they are not the best in every field. And in order to prove themselves better than others they indulged in violence which resulted in counter-violence. Gandhiji analyzed the situation at that time to perfection and propagated anew philosophy of Satyagraha, that took the whole world by surprise. He propagated a path that was hard to follow but then seldom in history has greatness been achieved without difficulty. His’ was the path to take people to greatness.
