In the year 2003, the film Munna Bhai MBBS re-packaged the ideals of Gandhism like Satyagraha and Ahimsa to suit contemporary sensibilities, giving it a new name: Gandhi-giri. The film struck a chord with Indians for illustrating how Gandhi’s philosophy is still relevant to the current times. Indian youth has time and time again resorted to Gandhi-giri instead of ‘Dada-giri’ to protest and defy; and it has worked out for us so far! So, this Gandhi Jayanti, here are a few tried-and-tested Gandhi-giri moves that you can try out.
Fighting with love.
Dealing with online trolls.
Resigning from jobs peacefully.
Dealing with bullies.
Dealing with injustice via X protests.
Dealing with corruption by invoking legalities.
Peaceful protests.
Leaving before things get nasty.
