INDIAN CIVILIZATION AND CULTURE
This essay “Indian
Civilization and Culture” is written by Mahatma Gandhi who is
known as father of nation. He was born on 2
nd Oct 1869 at
Porbandar in Gujrat. In this essay, Mahatma Gandhi has
highlighted the salient features of Indian Civilization and Culture.
He says that the foundation of Indian civilization is far better than
the Western civilization and our civilization cannot be beaten in
the world because we are following the path that our ancestors
made for us.
There is a charge against us by Western
people that we are ignorant and stolid but Gandhi Jee says this
charge is against our merit. We can also do everything but our
civilization does not give us permission to do so.
Gandhi Jee says that our ancestors preferred villages to cities
because they knew cities are full of vices, crimes, robbers and
thieves but in villages people live in peace.
