Gandhian Approach to Peace and Prosperity: A Philosophical Exposition

Abstract

This paper has two aspects, one is peace and another is prosperity. Before discussion of the Gandhian approach to peace and prosperity it needs to define the term peace and prosperity first. But it is not an easy task to define the term peace and prosperity, it needs philosophical analysis. Hence, at the outset we will try to define the term peace and thereafter Gandhian notion of prosperity. Peace does not mean just an absence of violence, dissension of war, rather Peace is a commitment to refrain someone from any kind of harm and violence and at the same time leads to live in perfect serenity/ tranquility of mind as well as the balance of the body, mind and the soul of an individual.
