Statement on Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday by Lenin Raghuvanshi

 


On this day, we honor Mahatma Gandhi’s life and teachings, reflecting on his relentless advocacy for non-violence and truth as pathways to justice and peace. Gandhi stood against war and oppression, and his commitment to non-violence resonates deeply in today’s world, where conflicts, such as the occupation of Palestine and the war in Ukraine, perpetuate human suffering.
Gandhi believed that no war, whether considered just or unjust, could ever bring about lasting peace. He taught us that peace and justice cannot be achieved through violence, but only through dialogue, diplomacy, and respect for the dignity of all people.
From his wisdom, we derive the importance of indigenous knowledge, critical thinking, and the courage to speak against injustice. As India, under the influence of Gandhi and Buddha, advocates for peaceful resolutions in global conflicts, we urge the world to follow this example, especially in regions like Palestine and Ukraine, where violence continues to ravage lives.
In this spirit, we stand firm in calling for the end of war, occupation, and fascism, advocating for a future where diplomacy reigns supreme and peace is sustainable. This Gandhi Jayanti, let us commit ourselves to building a world free from hatred, violence, and oppression. Only by embracing non-violence can we hope to forge a just and peaceful future for all.

Urgent Appeal for a Peaceful Resolution to the Israel- Palestine Conflict

  Respected Global Leaders of the World, Warm greetings from the culturally rich city of Varanasi, known as Kashi or Benares, in the esteemed nation of India/Bharat.  As I reflect upon the recent events in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, my heart is heavy with concerns and my fervent hopes for a peaceful resolution to this enduring turmoil. Having closely followed the updates on the Israel-Hamas war, as delineated in the comprehensive report by Al Jazeera on the key events of day 34 , published on 9th November 2023, the news of ongoing negotiations for a three-day humanitarian ceasefire, brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, brings a ray of hope amidst the devastation. The distressing closure of Al-Quds Hospital due to fuel shortage and the tragic loss of life resulting from recent Israeli bombardments in Jabalia refugee camp and Sabra in western Gaza underscore the urgent need for a peaceful and humane resolution. In this context, the profound wor

Bethlehem's Blessing: A Christmas Wish for Peace in Palestine

Image
In Bethlehem's embrace, a silent night, Where stars above proclaim a timeless light. Lord Jesus' birth, a tale so divine, In Palestine 's hope, may peace now shine.   Ceasefires sought, a plea profound, Echoes through the hills, the holy ground. End the strife, let kindness prevail, In birthplace sacred, let love set sail.   Genocide's shadow, banished away, As dawn breaks forth, a hopeful day. Philistine, rise with dignity strong, In independence, may you truly belong.   Let peace and prosperity intertwine, As Christmas whispers, "Forever, be thine." In the land where miracles took flight, Merry Christmas, in joy and peace unite.

Open letter to HE Mr. Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

  HE President Putin, Greetings from Varanasi, the cultural capital of India!! This letter from the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Buddha coincides with the 355 th day of Russia – Ukraine war. Excellency, your article in 2012 in an Indian newspaper  The Hindu , mentioned that, “The Declaration on Strategic Partnership between India and Russia signed in October 2000 became a truly historic step."   Such a partnership between our countries defies the conventional interpretation of diplomacy which centres around maximising national interest. This declaration also realises the centuries old human values and traditions shared between our countries. Russia always endeavoured to ensure a peaceful India that marks its position among the nations of the world without fear from many powerful nations. Your country’s cooperation in the field of technology and energy led to peaceful use and strengthening national defence. India’s conflict with its neighbours or support for establishment o
