On October 2nd of every
year, India celebrates Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti. The birthday of Shastri,
remembered as an outstanding statesman and leader, coincides with Mahatma
Gandhi's birthday, in whose honour this day is also celebrated as Gandhi
Jayanti.
Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated
on 2nd October every year to mark the birth anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who was famously known as Mahatma
Gandhi. Father of the Nation, as he was called, led India's freedom movement
along with many other national leaders against the British rule in India.
Lal Bahadur Shastri was
deeply influenced by the political teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. “Hard work is equal to prayer,” he
once said, in accents profoundly reminiscent of his Master. In the direct
tradition of Mahatma Gandhi, Lal Bahadur Shastri represented the best in Indian
culture.
Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti
is celebrated to
honour the birth anniversary of Lal Bahadur Shastri, India's second Prime
Minister. His contributions
to India's independence, leadership during the Indo-Pak War, and promotion of
the farming community through his slogan "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan" are
celebrated on this day
