Gandhi is highly relevant in the 21st century, with his principles of non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and self-reliance (swadeshi) providing a framework for addressing modern challenges. His emphasis on community empowerment, sustainable development, women's rights, and inclusive economics through "production by masses" rather than "mass production" offers solutions for issues like poverty, environmental degradation, and social inequality. His philosophy is seen as essential for navigating the complexities of the modern world and achieving a more peaceful and sustainable future.
