I m back to my blog after quite a long time. The reason for this long leisure is my civil services exams. I m happy to be back...
In this piece of information I would like to introduce to u something special- One of the ideals of our Father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi.
While I was preparing for a essay for my exams I came across this ideal of Gandhiji and thought it will be a great idea to share this with my dear ones(My Friends).
The concept is Gandhiji's Ideal of 'Structure of Society'. Gandhiji gave this concept in 1946 in one of his article in the journal 'Harijan'.
The concept goes like this : Society is not hierarchial as everyone thinks(or feels) it to be. Society is an egalitarian structure with expanding concentric circles like ripples centred around the 'individual'.
This can be represented as :
In this way, every human being thinks about Himself first, then about his Family and then about his Community, then about his State, and then about his Country and finally about the World.
So in this way according to Gandhiji the society is egalitarian.
Now U may ask, What is so Great about this concept of egalitarian society and What is the use and its relevance in today's world?
The answer to this question is that if we understand this concept in its functiontal aspect we can bring a great change in the working of society and we can hope for development of the country harmoniously, inclusively and without any clashes between different social stratas.
That is by concentrating on the development at he grass-root level i.e, development of the individual. Primarily in every society development of individual should take place first and this development will spread like ripples and finally leads to the development of the country. The developmental programmes should be oriented towards the development of the individual and not any company or PSU. If the individual feels that he will be benifitted by a programme or project, then he will welcome it. So here lies the greatness of this concept of Gandhiji in a way to make India more developed, by making people of India developed.
The Reconstruction of Gandhiji's this ideal is the concept of 'Inclusivity'. 'Inclusive Growth' means providing the fruits of growth and development to the every person of the society i.e, including every person in the development. The Govt of India is talking about inclusivity these days which Gandhiji did about 7 decades back. The aim of the 12th Five Year Plan(2012-17) is "Faster, Sustainable and MORE INCLUSIVE Growth" as given by Govt of India.
WE shall hope that this ideal of Gandhiji will be made functional and will be implemented with great concern and will.
"Hope for the Best".
