Is Gandhi's Ethics is applicable in today's world

if everyone thinks in the same way then why have all our the freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for no use!!!!!!! are their death of no use, if they have thought like our generation then could we have got freedom, would we able to raise this point today. if everyone lives for himself then why is HUMANITY still alive today, why do we still celebrate Mother Teresa birthday. why do we still celebrate oct 2nd and cry on jan 3oth.

Gandhi was not only freedom fighter but as a person he was a practitioner of truth peace and nonvoilance. By his ever going process of self purification, Gandhiji had raised himself to the level of saint, in eyes of all. Gandhiji loved humanity and we call him father of the nation where as in usa he is known as herbinger of peace. Gandhiji's relevance should not be measured in action but Gandhiji was teaching us to be good in our mind and thoughts. i quote Him " Be true to your self. Hide not your thoughts. If it is shameful to reveal them, it is more shameful to think of them" We can see the relevance of Mahatma ever and ever

 Gandhiji through his deeds appraised us that getting freedom is not sufficient we ourself should take initiative to do work and get the work done.

In many a cases we see people saying Govt has not done or leaders have not done. Even small things in their own streets people r not taking initiative.

Little initiative and persuasion can change the situation.

When things move in positive way at least few people preach the ethics of Gandhiji they become relevant again.

Thanks Ms.Ravali for the referral.

I would like to differ from your opinion. Gandhiji's principle is applicable to all periods- past. present, and future.

With his wonderful principle of non-violence India has got freedom and his non-violence is a great weapon to fight against the English people. I have doubt that in case we had fight with the weapons, we would not had freedom.The patience with determination, perseverance, hard work, constant effort, and aiming/focusing the target will definitely give success.    

Thanks Ms Ravali for inviting me & sorry I can't support you. Please read Gandhiji's work and not put your opinion on "sune sunaye kisse"... If you see thoroughly you would find that Gandhiji was always situational leader though he he was firm on his principles like non-violence, non-communal-ism etc...

First of all this argument is too subjective. May be if you choose one specific subject...

Bapu said "Insan ko mat maro uske ander ki burai ko maro" and today in context to terrorism I perceive it as:

"Kill terrorism and not terrorist"

You kill 100 terrorist and 1000 new are recruited BUT if you kill terrorism that will end terrorist and terrorism both forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He wanted people to use LAW instead of LATHI, he never said that you continue to suffer otherwise why had he did SATYAGRAHs.

I appeal, do not debate on "Sune Sunaye Kisse" rather read his work & debate...

Otherwise it would be like the people (95% + of all) who fight in the name of Dharmas have actually never read their own Dharmagranths.

GANDHI`S ETHICS WILL STAND OUT FOR EVER AND THERE CAN NOT BE ANY TIME FRAME FOR ETHICS.THEY ARE UNIVERSALLY APPLICABLE AND WILL HOLD GOOD FOR EVER.WE SHOULD BE DETERMINED TO FOLLOW THEM.

If we consider only two of Gandhi's principles , a steadfast belief in and adherence to truth and non-violence , I cannot doubt that they will live for ever.

I would like to ask those who dispute this - do they advise their children it is acceptable to tell lies , and also it is right to use force to achieve your ends ?

Most of what Gandhi believed in was already well entrenched in Hindu philosophy ; Gandhi gave us the first practical application of these principles.

ETHICS CAN NEVER DIE ...

Important is WIN the Game, Situation, Goal everything ..it doesn't mean by Mr Gandhi method or Mr S. Bose method. Play smart enough to reach goal as early

yes, i think the same....

Yes they are.. n they will always.. Nothing is impossible..Sometime we feel that Gandhi's ethics can not be implemented in today's context but it is not a reality.. But i agree that all ethics are not accepted by single person.. But different people accepted all ethics in parts.........

Gandhi jee's ethics - many of them are still aplicable. but the world is so mean today. so all the ethics may be gandhi's or other's are just to say. no one follow any ethics today. everyone thinks that ethics are for others. people talk about ethics but whenever their turn, they like to move towards noney living ethics behind.

I support for this cause.  It is really required for this modernisation world.  Gandhiji was having a vision, especially to improve our villages.  But now our villages are being lost.  Development makes easier for mankind at the same time it disrupts the natural life or resourses

Ethics is  universal and for all times.Ethics and morality should be  the hallmark of public as well as private life. Unethical thought and act can only result in   temporary  gains. It is difficult   to support the view that  one should live for oneself.Just imagine a world in which everyone goes by this maxim. Mahatma Gandhi  himself was an embodiment of this tradition. He not only preached morality in public life but also practiced it in personal life.

Gandhi's ethics are applicable to each one of us. If each one of follow his path, that can inspire others too to do the same.

Gandhi's ethics are for today , tomorrow and till the mankind exists 

gandhi is a GOD of HUMANITY .. .

If it was not there no one of us will live till now. . .

His ethics will apply forever no dought  in it  but what wrong with people is no one will follow it. . .

so i think you thought GANDHI ethics will fail for our present life. . .

WHAT ARE GANDHI'S ETHICS? IS THIS A QUESTION? IF, DEBATE WHAT ARE THE POINTS FOR DISCUSSION?

NO/YES ANSWERS SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED. SUPPORT YOUR VIEWS IF YES OR NO.

I think yes. Its most applicable these days. Gandhi's principles were born because exploitation and atrocities were high, hence he educated and guided the people in that direction. The condition remain same and  timings different. Only those principles will protect us- not the part time,shortcut means.
