Gandhi was philosopher in a Socratic sense who experimented with truth all his life. He used the weapon of truth – Satyagraha to fight oppression of any sort and fought for safeguarding human dignity. His aim was to emancipate soul from the dominance of military and economy. Even after more than sixty years of his death, he continues to stir the moral conscience of the humanity at local as well as global level. Gandhi thought that modern civilization falsely celebrates the vast energies of contemporary science and technology. He made scathing criticism against modern civilization for its being body-centered. Its multiplication of wants, lack of selfrestraint and decline of moral and spiritual depth abhorred him. An insatiable possessiveness, machinery, mechanization of every aspect of human life, rejection of the virtue of religion, and coercive power has weakened the Spirit of man.
