Social media is abuzz with messages commemorating Gandhi’s life, his unwavering commitment to non-violence, and his fight for truth.

“Dili di aazadi hamen bina uthaye hathiyar, Sabarmati ke sant aapne kiya tha kamal, Gandhi Jayanti ki haardik shubhkamnayein” (You gave us freedom without lifting a weapon, the saint of Sabarmati you did wonders, Happy Gandhi Jayanti), reads one popular message being widely shared.

Many messages focus on Gandhi’s principles of Satyagraha (truth-force) and non-violent resistance. “Bapu the saty ahinsa ke pujari” (Bapu was the worshiper of truth and non-violence) is another message circulating on social media.

Other messages urge people to reflect on Gandhi’s teachings and their relevance to modern times. “Har ek vyakti apne vichar se bana ek pranee hai jo jaisa sochta hai, vah vaisa hi khud ko pata hai” (Every individual is a creature made of their own thoughts, whoever thinks like, that’s how they see themselves) is one such poignant message.

The messages are a testament to the lasting impact of Gandhi’s ideology and the enduring respect he holds in the hearts of Indians.
