Gandhi’s Power and Authority

Gandhi identifies two kinds of power: one which is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. He points out in 1947 that “by abjuring power and by devoting ourselves to pure and selfless service of voters, we can guide and influence them. It would give us far more real power than we shall have by going into the government. But a stage may come, when the people themselves feel and say that they want us and no one else to wield the power…. It is my firm view that we should keep altogether aloof from power politics and its contagion. To set our own house in order is the first indispensable requisite, if we want to influence political power…to regard adult suffrage as a means for the capture of political power, would be to put it to a corrupt use....Today, politics has become corrupt….The greater our inner purity, the greater shall be our hold on the people, without any effort on our part”.

Stressing on the close link between religion and politics, Gandhi suspects politics as understood in the ordinary sense as power over the lives of the people that is vested in governments and is sought by legislatures. He rejects the notion of power for one’s selfish gains and motives devoid of public _________ _____ ______ _____ _______ _______ __________ _____.
