The "Gandhian Principles" refer to the ethical and philosophical ideas promoted by Mahatma Gandhi, focusing on non-violence, truth, and social justice. Central to these principles is the concept of Ahimsa, which advocates for non-violence in thought, word, and action. Gandhi believed that peaceful resistance could effectively challenge oppression and injustice. Another key aspect is the emphasis on self-reliance and community empowerment, often expressed through the idea of Swaraj, or self-governance. Gandhi encouraged individuals to take responsibility for their own lives and communities, promoting economic independence through local production and sustainable practices.
