Relevance and Limitations of Gandhian Socio-Political Thought in Modern Society

Author(s) Ms. KAVITA DEVI, Dr. SONIKA DEVI
Country India
Abstract The academic and practical examination of Mahatma Gandhi's socio-political philosophy continues in the 21st century because it depends on his fundamental beliefs about Truth (Satya) and Non-Violence (Ahimsa). Gandhi developed a complete human existence framework which he used as a moral philosophy and social reform solution to merge religious values with political and economic systems. The fundamental elements of Swaraj (self-rule) and Sarvodaya (universal uplift) and Trusteeship create completely different systems from centralized governance and exploitative capitalism which enable decentralized democratic governance and ethical economic systems. The contemporary world needs Gandhian thought because it provides a critical view of industrial consumerism and offers an environmental sustainability framework. His need over greed advocacy provides essential support to tackle the worldwide climate emergency. The implementation of his theories encounters major obstacles. Critics point out that he chose to reform the caste system instead of pursuing a revolutionary path while they consider Trusteeship to be impractical in a market system driven by profit. The effectiveness of complete non-violent methods against contemporary totalitarian systems and digital security threats still needs more investigation. This research investigates two opposing sides by showing that Gandhi's methods need modification but his fundamental ethical principles will guide us through our current divided world which faces ecological challenges.
