PM Modi Pays Tributes To Vinoba Bhave On His Jayanti

Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid rich tribute to Acharya Vinoba Bhave on his birth anniversary. He tweeted: “Mahatma Gandhi described him as someone who was absolutely against untouchability, unwavering in his commitment to India’s freedom and a firm believer in non-violence as well as constructive work. He was a thinker par excellence. Tributes to Acharya Vinoba Bhave on his Jayanti.” Vinoba Bhave, remembered as a great scholar-saint, was a 20th-century Gandhian thinker who advocated for non-violence and human rights. Often called Acharya (the Sanskrit term for ‘teacher’), he is best known for the Bhoodan Movement or ‘Bloodless Revolution’, a voluntary land reform movement.
