Abolition of Untouchability: Gandhiji's Monumental Achievement
Abstract
Gandhiji’s constructive programme was an integral part of the Freedom Movement. He did not believe that the imperial ambitions of the British were alone responsible for the country’s subjugation. It was the neglect of national duty that was primarily responsible for it. The constructive programme was devised to reform our national character.
