Its 2nd October, while you might remember it as a holiday from work or school or anything that requires you to get out of bed, others know it as Gandhi Jayanti in India and International Day Of Nonviolence globally.
What’s better than a Sunday? A holiday on a Tuesday. But this day is not merely a holiday, it holds a far greater purpose. The man didn’t work almost all his life for us to acquire a public holiday. The independence movement was actively influenced by him.
Along with spear-heading the independence movement, he promoted non-violence, peace, truth, simplicity and more.
Besides having a cult-following, literature, films, and documentaries are also inspired by him and the life he led. We’ve put together an assemblage of such inspiring features in case you feel like a binge-watch session. Binge read too, for that matter.
