Martyrs' Day serves as a poignant reminder of Gandhi’s philosophy of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satya (truth). His leadership in movements like the Salt March, the Quit India Movement, and his emphasis on self-reliance inspired not only India but also global civil rights leaders, such as Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela. His teachings continue to resonate as timeless principles for resolving conflicts and promoting peace. Beyond rituals, Gandhi’s death anniversary encourages individuals to reflect on his values and apply them in daily life. It is a day for introspection, urging people to reject hatred, embrace unity, and work towards building a just and equitable society. His enduring legacy remains a beacon of hope and moral guidance for humanity.
