| Event Name: | Exhibition of Paintings : Timeless Mahatma |
| Description: | Gandhiji helped India's struggle for independence through a campaign based on nonviolence and civil disobedience. His doctrine of nonviolent action had a profound influence on Martin Luther King Jr., the leader of the civil rights movement in the U.S. and Nelson Mandela, the most prominent figure of the black opposition to apartheid in South Africa. However, Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace Prize. Gandhiji worked relentlessly throughout his life to spread the message of truth, tolerance, peace and non-violence. The significance of his martyrdom is that while an act of violence ended his life, his message could not be extinguished. The universal importance of his thoughts has also been recognized by the United Nations Organization (UNO), which has declared October 2nd as the International Day of Non-violence. |
