follow the path of peace and non-violence. In June 2007, the

United Nations General Assembly had voted to establish Octo-

ber 2 as the International Day of Non-Violence. The resolution

by the General Assembly asks all members of the UN to com-

memorate October 2 in "an appropriate manner and dissemi-

nate the message of non-violence, including through education

and public awareness. Gandhi, who has inspired millions of

people all over the world with his teachings, is remembered

even seven decades after his death. He was assassinated on January 30, 1948.

He taught us to be the change we wish to see in the world.

He taught us that where there is love there is life.

He followed the path of Ahimsa and non-violence to make us unite.

The fundamental concept in

social science is Power, in

the same sense in which

Energy is the fundamental
