Good morning, respected principal, teachers and my dear friends. We have gathered here to celebrate the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869. Today marks the 154th birth anniversary of the “Father of the Nation” Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi known for his role in India’s fight for independence. We also affectionately call him ‘Bapu.’ He dedicated his life to India’s freedom using his powerful tool, ‘Non-violence.’ Not only in India but worldwide, this day is observed as the International Day of Non-violence. In his honour, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 15th, 2007, as The International Day of Non-Violence.
Gandhi Jayanti reminds us of his principles of peace and non-violence. Each year, on his birth anniversary, we are reminded of Gandhiji’s efforts to make India independent. He endured a long struggle so that the people of India could live in a free nation. He firmly believed in truth and non-violence.
Each year, we celebrate Gandhi Jayanti at Raj Ghat in Delhi. Our Prime Minister and President gather to pay tribute by offering flowers at his Samadhi. His favourite song, “Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram,” is sung in his memory. Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday. All schools, colleges, private offices, and government organisations remain closed on this day.
Gandhiji’s full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He was born in Porbandar, Gujarat, in 1869. In 1888, he completed his law studies in the UK and later moved to South Africa to practice law. When he returned to India after 21 years, he started the civil disobedience movement or Satyagraha. He used Ahimsa (non-violence) to fight for India’s freedom from British rule.
Gandhiji was also a great leader, He wore Khadi dhoti to promote Indian culture. He encouraged people to have faith in themselves and fight for their rights. He started the Non-Cooperation movement wherein he urged Indians not to cooperate with the British and to fight for their freedom. Gandhiji dedicated a significant part of his life to India’s freedom struggle. He joined Gopala Krishna Gokhale, who was already fighting for India’s independence. During this struggle, Gandhiji was imprisoned several times. He led important movements like the Quit India movement, the Civil Disobedience Movement, and the Non-Cooperation Movement. In 1930, he initiated the Dandi March or Salt Satyagraha, walking 400 kilometres to protest the British monopoly on salt. The Quit India movement was a call to the British to leave India.
Throughout his life, Gandhiji accomplished many great things that continue to inspire people today. He worked tirelessly for Swaraj, against untouchability, women’s rights, and the economic well-being of farmers. His dedication and struggle led to India’s freedom from 200 years of British colonial rule.
Happy Gandhi Jayanti to all!
Jai Hind!
Jai Bharat!
