philosophy.
Thus, Gandhiji helped in popularising the notion of “Be the change you want to see”.
His principles of non-violence, truth and dignity of all people regardless of caste, class
or community are encapsulated in the concept of Satyagraha. And if his experiments
and creative search can be illuminated by the category of design, it could undoubtedly
be allied with Gandhiji’s character. Thus, in the 20th Century, the creative skills are the
best way of safeguarding and following his notions.
