India practices Gandhis trusteeship doctrine through human-centric global development: Kambol #IndiaNEWS #International
<br>Speaking on Thursday at a roundtable here on Gandhian Trusteeship, she said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would carry this through during Indias Presidency of the G20, the group of the major industrialised and emerging economies.
She said that according to him India will be the voice of the developing South whose voices are frequently ignored and share Indias experiences, lessons learned and growth models during our G20 Presidency.
India is guided by the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the world being one large interconnected family, and has emerged as the first responder to the crises around the world showing altruism of the highest kind as during the Covid-19 pandemic.
She listed Indias most recent responses to the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, and to the crises in Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Mozambique, among other countries.
She said that Indias slogan for G20, One earth, one family, one future, simply means, ee may be different nations, but humanity is one.
The roundtable on Gandhian principles took place as the General Assembly was voting next door on a resolution on the Ukraine-Russia war.
What I find very, very powerful is that we are talking about peace about non-violence while the Assembly was seized with the Ukraine crisis.
Norways Deputy Permanent Representative Trine Heimerback said that in todays world Gandhis doctrine of trusteeship means multilateral cooperation and global solutions for global challenges.
This approach operationalises the trusteeship doctrine through efforts to realise UNs sustainable development goals, she said.
The goals are all about responsibility, equitable trusteeship for a planet and for the common good of humanity, and when countries use their comparative advantages to advance SDG agenda, so much can still be achieved, she said.
Dean of the University of Peace Jaun Carlos Sainz-Borgo said that as a Latino from the Caribbean, the idea of using the tools of peace to fight against a colonial power made an impression on him.
Recalling his introduction to Gandhi from the 1982 movie starring Ben Kingsley, which he followed up by reading books, he said that popular media can be an important way to communicate ideas to a broader section of people.
The movie really opened my eyes to the complexities of the role (of Gandhi), even though (there was) the oversimplification of a movie, especially a Hollywood movie, he said.
But as an educator and as a representative of a university, it is very important to really take into consideration that we cannot neglect any platform for education. You know, sometimes the type of tools they can make, really open up the interest of many people that you wouldnt address otherwise.
