Decoding the Gandhian enigma from the Gen Z Lenses

Abstract

Understanding Mahatma Gandhi's perception of social discrimination and leadership among Generation Z in India reveals a complex interplay of historical reverence and current relevance. Gandhi's teachings, particularly his emphasis on non-violence, inclusivity, and empowerment of marginalized communities, resonate with many young Indians today, even as they grapple with the nuances of his legacy. The leadership dynamics of Gandhi also play a pivotal role in influencing young generation, especially the Gen Zs. This paper aims to trace the Gandhian paradigm in present society especially focusing on Gandhian leadership and social discrimination and its impact on the Gen Z population in India.
