Mahatma Gandhi to Modi - 1st Edition 2016 by Dr. Rajeshkumar Acharya, Mr. Girishchandra Tanna, O. P. Kohli
One of the unique aspects of Mahatma Gandhi is that he had not left any subject untouched in his speeches and writings. His thoughts and ideology, for examples about education, health, rural development, employment, female development, and industrial development have relevance today even. His mind was versatile and of wide range of interest. His Charkha and Khadi had provided livelihood to millions. Charkha enabled seven hundred thousand villages to become self-contained. His Swadeshi doctrine was founded on the basic principle of using indigenous things and thereby provides livelihood and employment to the countrymen. He believed that much of the deep poverty of the masses is due to the ruinous departure from Swadeshi in the economic and political life. He named the poor as Daridra narayan (God of the Poor). He wanted Swaraj for those toiling and unemployed millions. He wanted a woman to entitle a supreme place in her own sphere of activity as man is in his. His persistence for cleanliness was beyond imagination. He taught the countrymen that cleanliness is Godliness. These issues have been discussed in the relevant chapters. Narendra Modi has always admirer of Mahatma Gandhi. He often quotes Gandhiji in his speeches. His development model rooted in Gadhian ideology. He launched the Swachh Bharat, or Clean India, Mission on October 2, 2014, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
