Answer the following in about 100 words:

Exploitation is a universal phenomenon. The poor indigo farmers were exploited by the British landlords to which Gandhiji objected. Even after our independence we find exploitation of unorganised labor:

What values do we learn from Gandhiji's campaign to counter the present day problems of exploitation?

 

Answer:

The conditions that prevailed during the time of Gandhiji are still existing. The weak and the poor are living in the same condition as they used to, prior to the independence, only the ways of exploitation have altered. The poor sharecroppers were exploited by the British landlords and their lands were snatched from hem. Gandhiji, fought for them systematically by gathering information and presenting the facts courageously and managed to get justice for the fear stricken peasants. The striking feature of this was that he did not use any form of violence or unfair means.             These methods can be adopted by us also, as we must be aware of our strength and weaknesses and then proceed accordingly as one should not fall into the trap by any means. We should never compromise at the cost of our dignity or self-respect and thus sought out the solutions wisely.
