MUMBAI: It was 148 years ago that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on the 2nd of October - ‘The Father of the Nation’ to whom we largely owe our independence. But ‘Bapu’, as we all fondly call him, and his legacy, was not just about the Indian freedom struggle. He had also espoused ideals and practices which ranged from, and impacted various other aspects of our social life. But do we as Indians even remember any of those ideals which were so very close to Gandhiji’s heart?

This Gandhi Jayanti, ABP News takes a look at these very ideals of Gandhiji and how they have fared over the years – in its all new and unique series, ‘Gandhigiri’.

‘Gandhigiri’ will revisit some of Gandhiji’s thoughts on things which he wanted to change in India. Thoughts & ideals he staunchly believed in, espoused and practiced himself and how they have progressed and developed over the years and where we stand today as a society with respect to these ideals.

Gandhiji spoke openly about Cleanliness, Cow Protection, Communal & Caste Violence. Have we progressed since then? Are we following what Gandhiji taught us? We will be covering these four topics in detail.

So tune in to ABP News from October 1st onwards, every Sunday at 9.30 pm and discover how the ideals of the ‘Father of the Nation’ have withstood the test of time and circumstances – with ABP News’ ‘Gandhigiri.’
