| Summary: | India is a land of philosophers; Gandhi is a reformer and a modern philosopher who
invented tools to inspire the masses. These tools find relevance in present day, Gandhian Philosophy
is based on the four pillars; Truth, Non-Violence or Ahimsa, Self-Respect and Satyagraha. He
practiced and preached the life of austerity, humbleness and truth. His philosophy of simple living
and high thinking attracted the peasants, humbled the mighty and the rich. The present paper analyses
the application of the principles in the present context with respect to human resources practices. The
present global context requires inspirational leadership style with appropriate strategy; Gandhiji is the
best strategist with follower centric approach. The human resource management practices were linked
with human factor theory and defined as a bundle of practices. The strike as a right, collective
bargaining, arbitration and self-introspection were some of his contributions. |
