Greetings admirals,

This is GM.

Today, October 2, is the International Day of Non-Violence.

This day commemorates the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi,

leader of the Indian independence movement and symbol of the philosophy of non-violence.

The UN General Assembly designated this observance in June 2007.

🌏 About the International Day of Non-Violence

1. Definition

The International Day of Non-Violence is intended to spread the principles of non-violence and peace through education and awareness,

and to promote a global culture of tolerance, understanding, and peace.

2. History and Background

1. In 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution proposed by India with 140 co-sponsors.
2. October 2, Gandhi’s birthday, was chosen as the day to commemorate his philosophy of non-violence.
3. Today, events, campaigns, and educational programs are held worldwide to spread the message of resolving conflicts through dialogue instead of violence.

3. Philosophy of Non-Violence

Non-violence is not merely the absence of violence, but an active means of resolving political and social conflicts.

Main methods:

1. Protest and persuasion (marches, assemblies)
2. Non-cooperation (boycotts, refusal movements)
3. Non-violent intervention (blockades, occupations)

4. Quotes by Gandhi (from UN official page)

“Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart and it must be inseparable part of our very being.”

“There is no way to peace, peace is the way.”

“Non-violence is a weapon of the strong.”

“Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.”

“We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.”
