Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The aim of this work is to assess and discuss the concept on individual and society in Gandhi’s philosophy – the father of nation and one of the very rare personalities of modern times. The concept on individual and society are discussed in the light of Gandhian’s thought and belief. It is tried to make this study conceptual and analytic as far as possible and also to correlate different concepts to reflect their mutual consistency. His concept of ‘Sarvodaya’, the ultimate goal in social welfare is discussed in length. Self-sacrifice is the essence of ‘Sarvodaya’. Every individual is to be ready and willing to sacrifice happiness for the sake of others. Everyone is to follow the policy of giving and not taking. He should feel happy when he is giving and not when he is taking. He should work for others and not expect anything in return for this. According to Gandhi the service of society or the service of the whole of humanity becomes the duty of every man. We must think about everyone and show love, sympathy and kindness to all because we are basically one.
