Blog What are the Pledges of The International Day of Non Voilence?Posted by spirited on 02 October 2008 READ: 1718 
Today is 2nd October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation. This day is referred to in India as Gandhi Jayanti and we all enjoy the public holiday since our school days.
On 15 June 2007 the United Nations General Assembly voted to establish 2 October as the International Day of Non-Violence. The resolution by the General Assembly asks all members of the UN system to commemorate 2 October in "an appropriate manner and disseminate the message of non-violence, including through education and public awareness." But what are we actually doing? What is the pledge that the nations around the world are taking on this International Day of Non Violence. Violence is not only growing in our society but it is also on the increase even in our personal lives, common culture including art and film and it is also to some extent commercialized. All most all the TV channels have dedicated programs to show violence and they are a big hit. So when violence is on the rise which we can experience everyday in our daily lives like in road rage, school gang war and politics, does 2nd October has any significance other than a public holiday where you can get some time out to relax with your family and go for a picnic?

It has boiled down to a picnic day frankly speaking, there is no harm in that but it sounds very hypocritical when politicians quote Gandhi but does not follow even an iota of his teachings.

It should be an international Holiday, the day when we celeberate Non violence at home. The entire traffic should and public life should be halted to preserve our hetic economic activity thereby prevent terrorist attack

voilence should include smoke pollution, decreasing sound pollution and burning of fuel. Let people walk around. If everything comes to a halt and allow only walking and cycling the world will be a gr8 place for one day atleast

I don't agree with derebail that smoking or burning fossil fuel can be termed as violence! There is so much real violence, let's first work to curb that and that would be a great tribute to Gandhiji.
