Gandhi was Indian lawyer, politician, social activist and writer who became the leader of the nationalist movement against the British rule of India. Gandhi is internationally esteemed for his doctrine of non-violent protest (Satyagraha) to achieve political and social progress. He was arrested and imprisoned many times. Mahatma Gandhi’s greatest gift is known as “the wardha scheme of education” or “Nai Talim”. Gandhi says “Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building a sound education.” According to T. S. Avinashlingam “Basic education is the last and perhaps the greatest gift of the father of our nation.” according to T. N. Siqueira “The Wardha scheme was first sketched in 1937 by M. K. Gandhi in the Harijan published at Wardha.” He dedicated his whole life to the service of the motherland, and service of humanity. However, he studied the Bible, Geeta and Quran and came to the conclusion that the principle tenets inall religions are the same. Gandhiji says about mass education as “Mass illiteracy is India’s sin and shame and must be liquidated.” Gandhi focuses on establishing Sarvodaya Samaj. Gandhi did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, although he was nominated five times between 1937 and 1948. Gandhiji wrote, “My life is indivisible wholeand all my activities run into one another, and they all have their rise in my insatiable love for mankind”. Mahatma Gandhi was a practical philosopher and an apostle of peace and non-violence. Gandhi ji believed in simple living and high thinking. Gandhi used fasting as a political device, often threatening suicide unless demands were met.
