 “Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man” – Mahatma Gandhi.
The world observes International Day of Non-Violence today (October 2). The 2007 UN resolution which established this commemoration, on Gandhi’s birthday, reaffirms “the universal relevance of the principle of non-violence” and the desire “to secure a culture of peace, tolerance, understanding and non-violence”.
