WORLD DAY FOR PEACE AND NON-VIOLENCE

Every January 30th we celebrate an important day for humankind. Why this day? Here is the answer.


January 30 marks the death of the national and spiritual leader of India, Mahatma Gandhi.  He was born in Porbandar, India, on 2 October 1869. After earning a degree in law in England, he settled in South Africa and fought there against the discrimination suffered by Indians. Returning to India he organized non-violent resistance against colonialism, promoting non-cooperation with the British administration. Imprisoned on numerous occasions, in 1937 as the leader of the movement of millions for independence, he was able to mobilize for peace or halt the violence. He tried to stop clashes between Hindus and Muslims that occurred after independence in August 1947 (Gandhi fought against the division of India into two States, India and Pakistan, one Hindu and other Muslim). He was assassinated on January 30, 1948.
These days we have asked our students to tell us what PEACE IS for them and we have displayed their answers. 


And here is a song that many people around the world associate with Peace,"Imagine" by John Lennon.
