The day is also marked by the United Nations as ‘International Nonviolence Day’ or ‘International Peace Day,’ as countries across the globe are showing a growing interest in the nonviolent alternative.
Every year as the second of October rolls around we are urged to think back to a great man and his teachings. Mahatma Gandhi is renowned worldwide for singularly influencing an entire nation to peacefully fight for freedom. His teachings of goodness and humanism are still revered today.
