Jurisprudence of Sarvodaya
The concept of Sarvodaya, which translates to "universal uplift" or "progress for all," is rooted in the philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi and later expanded by Vinoba Bhave and Jai Prakash Narayan. Sarvodaya seeks to create a society where the well-being of every individual is ensured, and it is deeply intertwined with principles of non-violence, truth, and self-reliance.
Origins and Philosophical Underpinnings
Mahatma Gandhi initiated the Sarvodaya movement, seeing it as a way to create a society based on ethical principles rather than material gains. For Gandhi, the core of Sarvodaya was grounded in concepts of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satyagraha (truth and firmness). He believed that these principles should not just be applied politically but also socially and economically.
