Gandhism is becoming more and more and more relevant with the passing of time due to the use of non-violent method for rejecting violence for the resolution of social and political conflicts and for trying to being to grips the problems of the consumerism culture for the students of Gandhian thought, Peace Research as well as JRF and NET.
