Gandhi was an outspoken promoter of non-violence and truth. The concepts of Truth and Non-Violence was very important to him. The foundations of Ganghi’s philosophy are Satya, or truth, and Ahimsa, or nonviolence. The Sanskrit term ‘Ahimsa’ is translated as ‘non-violence.’ In its positive version, he explained, “Ahimsa” signifies “the greatest love, the greatest charity.” He also claimed that Ahimsa links us to one other as well as to God. As a result, it acts as a unifier. ‘Ahimsa and Love are one and the same thing,’ Gandhi wrote. The word ‘Satya’ is derived from the word ‘Sat,’ which means ‘to exist,’ according to Gandhi. So when Gandhi uses the term “Satya,” he is referring to something that is both real and true. Truth and non-violence, Gandhi observed, are two sides of the same coin, or rather a smooth unstamped metallic disc. Ahimsa is a means to an end; truth is the goal. In this paper, I shall build on Gandhi’s concept of Truth and Non-Violence.
