During the past few years, there has been an alarming increase in the human’s non-sustainable attitude towards nature. Changing lifestyle of mankind has strained the natural resource which has prompted towards the urgency to protect the ecology. Life of Mahatma Gandhi is the best example of sustainable development for the world, and it can plausibly be inferred from his famous statement that “the earth has enough to satisfy everyone's needs but not everyone's greed.” The ideology of man’s insatiable materialistic greed intensifies the need for Gandhian eco-philosophical thoughts. Gandhi’s writings contribute to the eco-philosophical notions of nature and vociferously criticize the man's exploitation of nature through excessive materialism and industrial civilization. The present paper intends to showcase Mahatma Gandhi as an eco-philosopher; the nature and applicability of his thoughts pertaining to ecology imbued in his autobiography My Experiments with Truth.
