Arun Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, passed away on Tuesday (May 2) morning. Arun Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, died at the age of 89 due to prolonged illness. Giving information, Arun Gandhi's son Tushar said that his last rites will be performed in Kolhapur on Tuesday. Arun Gandhi wrote many books like Kasturba - The Forgotten Woman, Grandfather Gandhi.

Arun Gandhi was born in 1934 in Durban, South Africa. Arun was the fifth grandson of the Father of India, Mahatma Gandhi. During his upbringing in South Africa, he had to face humiliation many times due to the country's discriminatory laws.

According to the information available on the arungandhi.net website, he had to be a victim of apartheid many times on behalf of the 'white' people of Africa. Not only this, he was also targeted by the black people of Africa.

Arun wanted to avenge the insult, but Gandhi's idea…

Filled with rage at the beatings and insults he had received in South Africa during his teenage years, Arun Gandhi set out to take revenge. However, he learned from his parents and grandparents that justice does not mean revenge. It means trying to convert your opponent with love and your suffering.

Mahatma Gandhi gave Arun the understanding to fight by making non-violence his weapon instead of violence. According to Arun Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi had said that if we knew how much undeclared violence we commit against each other without knowing it, we would understand why there is so much physical violence in society and the world. According to Arun Gandhi's biography, he learned about violence and anger through daily lessons from Mahatma Gandhi.

The mind was engaged in social work and writing

Arun Gandhi kept doing a lot of work in writing along with social work. He left South Africa shortly after his marriage with his wife Sunanda. Arun Gandhi worked as a journalist in a big newspaper for 30 years. Arun Gandhi and his wife Sunanda saved more than 125 orphan children in Maharashtra. Along with this, he changed the lives of people in many villages of Western Maharashtra.
