Mahatma, Episode 5: Co-operation

Co-operation is essential for the practice of nonviolence and harmony. Even during the 'Noncooperation' movement, Gandhiji would cooperate with the authorities in the conduct of their duties. H is various satyagraha movements became possible only because of co-operation among large masses of people. The Salt Satyagraha in 1930 was the best example of mass participation, including that by women, in a completely non-violent struggle. He believed in carrying forward the family tradition of co-operation into all spheres of social life.
Competition that hurts, or what he called as 'soul-corroding', is a sign of violence. He encouraged co-operative effort in the field of khadi production, in farming and in various other such areas. He believed that land yielded maximum return when worked co-operatively.

On October 11, 1906, Mahatma Gandhi had first propounded his philosophy and technique of Satyagraha ('holding on to Truth') in his address to the 3,000 Indians assembled at Johannesburg in South Africa to protest against the 'Black' Ordinance, which sought to severely curtail their rights as citizens. The year 2006-07 marks the centenary of the birth of Gandhiji's Satyagraha.
In order to commemorate this historic occasion, Doordarshan Archives presents here a serial entitled MAHATMA, covering selected aspects of Gandhiji's philosophy and message under the headings of Non-violence (Ahimsa), Harmony, Simplicity, Discipline, Co-operation, and Trusteeship. The serial has been compiled by Shri Brijendra Rehi, and the presentation has been made mainly through the inspirational anecdotes as expressed by a wide range of scholars, workers and followers of Gandhiji's teachings and precepts, always remembering that Gandhiji had said, 'My life is my message.'
