Revisiting Gandhi from an Environmental Perspective Bimal Kumar Dutta, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Ramananda College, Bishnupur, Bankura, West Bengal, India | |
In the modern sense, Gandhi was not an environmentalist because he didn't come up with a
green ideology. Still, Gandhi's green ideas show a new way to balance people's needs with
the natural world's needs. His ideas about Satyagraha, which is based on truth and
nonviolence, simple living, and development, show that we can develop in a way that
doesn't hurt nature or other people.
Gandhi thought that the industrialization of modern society had a big effect on both
people and the environment. In his book Hind Swaraj, released in 1909, he called modern
civilization "satanic." He argued that modern society constituted a terrible amount of
violence against nature.
A sustainable society can be achieved by following the guidelines outlined by Mahatma
Gandhi. "Swachhta hi Seva" (cleanliness is service) was an idea that was very important to
Gandhiji. This desire for cleanliness isn't just about how someone looks on the outside,
though. It's also important to look at how clean someone is on the inside. Thus, a
corruption-free, more transparent and accountable society and clean roads and toilets are
necessary for a clean India. | |
