The Relevance of Gandhi's Socio-Political Ideas in Contemporary India. The work explores the enduring relevance of Mahatma Gandhi's socio-political ideas in modern India. Gandhi, revered as the Father of the Nation, championed principles like truth, non-violence, self-sufficiency, and communal harmony. His vision for India was rooted in moral values, decentralized governance, and social equality. The study critically evaluates how Gandhi's ideas have been adapted in contemporary India, focusing on themes such as Panchayat Raj, communalism, women empowerment, caste system, religion, and morality. Through historical analysis and a survey of 200 respondents, the thesis assesses the practicality and success of Gandhi's ideals in today's context. Gandhi's life and philosophy are introduced, highlighting his upbringing, education, and experiences in South Africa, which shaped his commitment to social justice. His leadership in India's freedom struggle, through movements like Non-Cooperation, Civil Disobedience, and Quit India, is discussed. Gandhi's socio-political ideas, drawn from diverse sources like the Gita, Bible, and works of Tolstoy and Ruskin.
