  • Abstract:
  • Mahatma Gandhi, acknowledged as the Father of the Nation in India, is internationally acclaimed for his doctrine of nonviolence (ahimsa) and his steadfast quest for truth (satya). At the core of his theories and action was the concept of love, understood in the most expansive, spiritual, and selfless manner. This article explores the importance of love in Gandhi's life, philosophy, and political initiatives, evaluating its influence on his ethical principles, conflict resolution methods, and plans for social and political change. The study explores Gandhi's writings, speeches, and contemporary testimonies to clarify the origins of his theory of love, its practical applications, and its lasting significance.
