-Mahatma Gandhi
This essay “Indian Civilization
and Culture” is written by Mahatma Gandhi who is known as father of nation. He
was born on 2nd Oct 1869 at Porbandar in Gujrat. In this essay,
Mahatma Gandhi has highlighted the salient features of Indian Civilization and
Culture. He says that the foundation of Indian civilization is far better than
the Western civilization and our civilization cannot be beaten in the world
because we are following the path that our ancestors made for us.
There is a charge against us by Western people that we are ignorant and
stolid but Gandhi Jee says this charge is against our merit. We can also do
everything but our civilization does not give us permission to do so.
Gandhi Jee says that our ancestors preferred villages to cities because they knew cities are full of vices, crimes, robbers and thieves but in villages people live in peace. Gandhi Jee says that mind is a restless bird the more it gets the more it wants and remains unsatisfied. So we should not indulge in our passions.
