In times of the Corona pandemic, the growing tension with China, the unprecedented economic fiasco, and the untimely presentation of the national education policy; the years 2020 and 2021 have witnessed the worst kind of events in the annals of Indian and world history. But history never stalls at one given point in time. It moves on incessantly. The sharp divide between the rich and the poor in terms of resources, techniques, and rights is fast changing the future trajectory. But some principles and ethical values are time-tested and remain almost the same even in the fast-changing contour of history. Gandhi is the most talked about, but less followed personality of the 20th century. Still, in the journey of the 21stcentury, he remains our best friend, philosopher, guide, and belief.
