A study on Gandhian non-violence in contemporary era

In the realm of peace and humanism the name of Mahatma Gandhi is well known globally. His ideas are shaped by numerous great philosophers. He can be regarded as a social reformer who immensely tried to build a new human society consisting of peaceful domain. His ultimate vision was Sarvodaya i.e., welfare to all or upliftment of all through the path of truth and non-violence. Hence through a discussion in this paper, we will try to highlight the Gandhian core concept of Non-violence. In addition, we aim to enumerate whether this non-violence or ahimsa principle is a dilemma in bringing justice or resilience with special reference to contemporary issues of India. If it is a dilemma, how can we deal with it and if it is resilience, how can we reach there it should be discussed constructively. Again, as this era is full of unstable mindsets, advancements of technologies, how can we rely on this principle at present, it is debatable. Thus, we, the conscious citizens of the largest populous country along with global citizens, need to understand the essence of non-violence and its application for mass development.
