Celebrating the UN International Day of Non-Violence and the 148th birthday of the Indian leader Gandhi, Indian Embassy in Cairo organized a set of lectures and an exhibition to revive the peaceful morals the philosopher aimed to spread in his life. The exhibition included 40 caricatures by artists from India, Egypt, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, Greece, China, Italy, USA, Indonesia, and other countries. The lectures hosted Rajni Bakshi, a well known Gandhi scholar, whom spoke about the message of peace Gandhi dreamed of spreading all of his life. “We should always have confidence that the spirit of non violence is actually very powerful. Many people are now understanding that non violence is not just absence of violence but the true non violence is that when we seek to engage with others to compassion and even if we have a conflict we are willing to dialogue and try and find common ground,” Bakshi told PTI.
