MAHATMA GANDHI ON ENVIRONMENT

Gandhi's environmentalism fitted in with his overall vision for India and the world that sought to extract from nature what is absolutely necessary for human sustenance. His ideas on environment are intimately linked with his ideas relating to the polity, economy, health, and development. His asceticism and simple living, a rural-centered civilization based on village autonomy and self-reliance, handicrafts and craft-centered education, emphasis on manual labour and absence of exploitative relationships are infused with elements of an ecological vision. Even his approach to gender did not attempt to break the connection with nature, but to maneuver within it and provide some space for women to uplift themselves.
