From the Preface 

The world has witnessed the futility of weapons of mass

destructions including the most potent nuclear weapons to control

violence and war. There is growing realization among the sensitive

minds that it has to be rooted out through a mental process

followed by initiatives which would help to address the basic

issues leading to violence and war. It was on this premise that Dr.

Siby K. Joseph, a noted scholar on Gandhian Thought and

Development Studies and a member of the Advisory Board of

Center for Education Environment and Community (CEECo)

prepared a lecture on the theme Approaches to Peace:

Contributions of Buddha and Gandhi for the XI All India Youth

Conference organized by International Kumar Bhai Youth Forum

for Decency, Udayagiri, Jajpur, Odisha, from January 2-3, 2016.

This monograph prepared for the All India Youth

Conference should be widely disseminated among students

and youth of the country. We hope that this document will

be useful in promoting value education and inculcating values

of peace in the young minds and developing their moral fiber.

This document also gives the reader a precise and basic

understanding of Buddha’s and Gandhi’s approaches to peace

and their unique contributions in this field.
