Gandhi and Ethics





Gandhi’s leadership was a running ethical lesson to his followers as well as his opponents on ‘how to live’. An outline of the basic ethical tenets of Gandhian leadership, proceeding from the eternal verities towards the more applied principles of conduct are given below:
  1. Truth
  2. Nonviolence
  3. Right Means and Right Ends
  4. Primacy of Duties over Right
  5. The Deed, not the Doer
  6. True Religion (Universality and Brotherhood)
  7. Aparigraha or Non-possession (voluntary Poverty)
  8. Yajna (Sacrifice and Service)
  9. Satyagraha or Nonviolent Conflict Resolution
