Ahimsa and Non-violence

Literally speaking, ahimsa means non-violence. But to me it has much higher, infinitely higher meaning. It means that you may not offend anybody; you may not harbor uncharitable thought, even in connection with those who consider your enemies. To one who follows this doctrine, there are no enemies. A man who believes in the efficacy of this doctrine finds in the ultimate stage, when he is about to reach the goal, the whole world at his feet. If you express your love- Ahimsa-in such a manner that it impresses itself indelibly upon your so called enemy, he must return that love.
This doctrine tells us that we may guard the honor of those under our charge by delivering our own lives into the hands of the man who would commit the sacrilege. And that requires far greater courage than delivering of blows

Story of Satyagraha

As is well known, Gandhi's political ideology evolved during his early years in South Africa. He was influenced by the writings of Thoreau, Tolstoy and Ruskin. The three writers had advocated Non-cooperation of civilians against the government if it proved suppressive or tyrannical. But their thoughts found only in writing, got a practical shape in Gandhi's approach, first against the highly unruly administration of colonial Governments in Africa and later in the struggle for Independence in India.
Gandhiji felt that laws which were totally against the welfare of the people, could be fought peacefully by organizing mass-protests in a civil way.
Pacifism, civil disobedience, rightful resistance against wrong policies, passive resistance, non cooperation are some of the forms of non violence Gandhiji brought into practice. All these terms come under the common term "Satyagraha".

Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, more popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi, is undoubtedly one of the most eminent freedom fighters any Indian will recognize with. From early days every child must have acquainted himself with this political figure through the curriculum history textbooks that has liberal footage of Gandhiji.
The father of the nation has also had a strong association with the movie world. From textual depiction in curriculum chapters to the live portrayal on the Bollywood big screen, Gandhiji has been a source of inspiration for many filmmakers not just in India but also across the globe.
It would be as good to say that any movie on the Indian independence theme or any biography on a real life historical character around the independence era is incomplete without the mention of Gandhiji. So integral was Mahatma Gandhi to Indian independence and thereby to the films on related themes!
Today on Gandhi Jayanti, we takes you to a trip articulating all those Bollywood actors who portrayed the character of Gandhiji on the silver screen over the years.

Fiber Defined

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate found in plant foods such as fruits, legumes, vegetables, and whole-grains, which cannot be fully digested. Commonly referred to as dietary fiber or roughage, fiber adds bulk to a diet, assisting digestion and bowel movement functions.
Eating foods that are high in fiber tend to make you feel full, which helps people who are dieting to lower their consumption of food; therefore, their calorie intake is reduced resulting in weight loss. Since fiber cannot be absorbed by the body, it contains no calories.
There are two types of fiber or roughage, as it is sometimes called: water soluble (i.e., gums, pectins, and mucilages) and water insoluble (i.e., cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignins). Each plays a role in providing health benefits.
