Every year 2 October is celebrated as International Day of Non-Violence.
This day is celebrated on the occasion of the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi.
The theme of this day of the year 2023 is – 'Say no to violence'.
In the year 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted this resolution to start the International Day of Non-Violence.
International Day of Non-Violence was celebrated for the first time in the year 2008.
According to Mahatma Gandhi, a core belief of nonviolent theory is that the power of rulers is derived from the consent of the people, so nonviolence attempts to destroy that power by withdrawing people's consent and cooperation.
Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent movements had 3 weapons - protest, non-cooperation and non-violent intervention.
Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 AD in Porbandar, Gujarat.
