On Gandhi Jayanti 2024, the full transcript of Mahatma Gandhi’s letter to Adolf Hitler urging him to avoid World War II has surfaced again. Gandhi, a staunch advocate of non-violence, wrote two letters to Hitler, addressing him as “friend,” despite their opposing ideologies. In his first letter, written at the request of friends, Gandhi pleaded for the sake of humanity, stating that Hitler was the only person who could prevent the looming war. In the first letter, Mahatma Gandhi wrote, "Friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity. But I have resisted their request, because of the feeling that any letter from me would be an impertinence." However, he went on to add, "It is quite clear that you are today the one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to the savage state." Despite Gandhi’s appeal, Hitler disregarded the letter, invading Poland just a month later on September 1, 1939, marking the start of World War II. Gandhi Jayanti 2024: President Droupadi Murmu, PM Narendra Modi, Vice President Dhankhar and Others Pay Tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on His 155th Birth Anniversary.
