ꩲOn the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, popular TV actor Mohammed Iqbal Khan claimed himself to be a huge fan of the philosophy of Gandhi that is now developed gradually over decades by the experiences, experiments and vision of Gandhi.
🎃The actor said: "I'm a huge fan of Gandhian philosophy. It could be understood as a collection of social, religious and political ideas formulated and developed by Mahatma Gandhi himself, from 1893 to 1914 while in South Africa and later during the Indian freedom struggle."
🐻Iqbal known for featuring in shows like 'Crackdown', 'Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai' among others mentioned that he follows the idea of truth and non-violence that Gandhi once taught the nation.
𝐆The actor said: "Truth and non-violence are the two basic foundation blocks of Gandhian philosophy. The term 'truth and non-violence' is derived from Sanskrit 'Satya aur Ahimsa'. Gandhi would have opined, has broader meaning than mere 'truth'.”
🌺“Gandhi’s version of Satya meant being true to yourself and also to the world. He professed that one shouldn’t only speak truth but also be true in his/her deeds and conduct."
꧂'Na Umra Ki Seema Ho' actor continued: "Coming to non-violence or ahimsa, Gandhi saw ahimsa not only as absence of violence but also as something which entails love. He had said that if the oneness of life is a truth then committing violence on someone else is also an act of violence onto oneself and is thus self destructive."
ꦡThe actor concluded saying: "In my day to day life I believe in doing the right and leaving the rest to God and to stand for my rights but in a graceful way. There is still a lot to learn from his philosophy."
