On January 30th, children join the celebration of Peace and Non-violence through educational activities in the schools that commemorate the day when Mahatma Gandhi was murdered.
Gandhi was one of the 19th century men who gave shape to the 20th century. Vigorously non-violent himself, Gandhi personified one of the main catalysts of Indian Independence.
Asha-Kiran joins the remembrance of this day by citing his words:
“All quarrels arise from wanting to force others to adopt one’s point of view. I profoundly believe that nothing lasting can be built from violence. As long as man doesn’t place himself, of his own free will, in the last rank among his human brethren, he will not be saved.”
