Q. `The true India is to be found not in its few cities, but in its seven hundred thousand villages. If the villages perish, Indian will perish too’ words by:
Solution:
Gandhiji firmly believed that self-reliant villages form a sound basis for a just,
equitable and non-violent order. This can be a guiding principle for all citizens,
constructive workers and policy makers in India.
After returning from South Africa Gandhiji developed his ideas on villages from his
direct experiences. He was convinced that “If the villages perish, India will perish
too. It will be no more India. Her own mission in the world will get lost.”1
For him
rebuilding of the nation could be achieved only by reconstructing villages. He
himself initiated such efforts at certain places like Champaran (1917), Sevagram
(1920) and Wardha (1938).
