Gandhism is becoming more and more relevant with the passage of time with its use of moral principles in each and every field. Gandhism become a global necessity for peace, prosperity, freedom, harmony and survival of the whole human race. Gandhism is a new hope, new force and a new challenge in the modern world. Gandhism is reminder something which the modern world has forgotten. So, reconstruction of Gandhism is necessary. we have to interpret Gandhi in terms of ecological challenge, imperatives of globalization, privatization and liberalisation in economy, growing terrorism, consumerism and gender discrimination and so on. There is no way to peace. Peace is the way. Gandhi spent his whole life for truth and Ahimsa. For Gandhi, Ahimsa means not injuring any living being whether by body or mind or bear any ill to him/her which cause them mental suffering. In its positive approach, Ahimsa means unbounded love for all. Ahimsa is more than avoiding harm. It is the largest love, the greatest charity. Gandhi says” If I am a follower of Ahimsa, I must love even my enemy”. Ahimsa implies not to harm others by thought, word or deed. It is consider as a virtue to be practiced for fostering universal brotherhood in human societies and nation all over the world. Gandhi advocate the idea of non-violence for social peace. Peace is a state of existence without communal disharmony, without conflict arising out of caste, colour, race, gender, rights, violation and not disturbing the unity in diversity, status and harmony with nature. Gandhis ideas are known as Gandhism. The basis of Gandhism is non-violence. It cannot be separated from non-violence even for a moment. In the words of Gandhi himself “My life is dedicated for upholding Ahimsa.” Gandhian concept of non-violence is the basic tenet of human existence. He conducted a series of experiments with non-violence and made it applicable to resolve the national and international problems. He demonstrated that non-violence is the only indisputable way to attain peace and tranquillity is more palpable. The concept of non-violence is not merely an anti-thesis violence but it is multi-dimensional.
