Abstract
Gandhian philosophy on peace and non-violence had been thought about by eminent persons of the world as one of
the viable sources for resolving conflicts among nations. In the early 1950s, it was stated by Albert Einstein that
Gandhian philosophy would be the ‘lighthouse for the future generation’. The former President of South Africa,
Nelson Mandela in 1999 pointed out that ‘the twenty first century would be the Gandhian century’. Major initiatives
in realizing the relevance of Gandhian principles came into being recently when the United Nations General
Assembly has declared 2 October—the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi as the ‘International Non-violence
Day’ in tune with its earlier declaration of the last decade, 2000-2010, as the ‘Culture of Peace Decade’.
Almost all the members of the UN, including the major powers--the US, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany
and countries from subcontinent like Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bhutan have co-sponsored
such initiative of India in the UN. Against this brief background, this paper explores the possibilities in creating new
sustainable world order in this new millennium based on Gandhian principles. For the purpose, it is divided into five
sections: Introduction; Present World Order—An Analysis; Initiatives for Replacing Deterrent Model; Relevance of
Gandhian Principles Today; Evolving Gandhian sustainable model and Conclusion.

Keywords: Gandhi, Major Powers, Non-Violence, Sustainable World, World Order
