Our Lokpal movement to schools, water, power — Gandhi’s vision endures

What makes Gandhi especially relevant in the times we live in is his unflinching commitment to democracy and the wisdom of the people.

As a product of the Gandhian Jan Lokpal movement against corruption in high places, I have witnessed the power of Gandhian methods of resistance and protest. Mass movements throughout independent India’s history as well as around the world have taken inspiration from the original mobiliser of the masses, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. In this context, as long as there is injustice in the world, Gandhi will remain relevant.
