Remembering the Mahatma attempts to trace the ideological and philosophical journey of Mahatma Gandhi and their impact on the Freedom Movement of India. The word ‘weapon’ has its own destructive connotations; but Gandhi redefined the idea of weapon through his constructive mantras of truth, non-violence and satyagraha. The present articles argues that even while the three-fold weapon of the Mahatma shook the unshakeable empire, Gandhi’s vision was fixed on the self-reliance that India should achieve post-independence. That self reliance would come through embracing such ideals such as grama swarajya, cottage industries, prohibition, basic education, tolerance and harmony etc. Thus the article explicates how Gandhi and his thoughts assimilated the fight for Independence on the one hand along with his vision for a free, self reliant, spiritual India on the other hand.
