Gandhi Jayanti 2021: Inspirational quotes by ‘Father of the Nation’ Mahatma Gandhi

-

The whole nation will celebrate the birth anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, fondly called Bapu, on Saturday, 2 October. The occasion is known as Gandhi Jayanti and this year marks Mahatma Gandhi's 152nd birth anniversary.

While the day is marked as a National holiday in India, Gandhi Jayanti is also observed in foreign countries.

Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated on 2 October to honour the Father of the Nation on his birthday and pay tribute to him for his valuable teachings. His contribution to India's development and freedom struggle remains paramount and his teachings have led the country towards betterment.

As we celebrate Gandhi Jayanti, we bring to you some of Mahatma Gandhi's most inspirational quotes that will help in bringing positivity and hope to your life. Take a look:

“I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.”

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man’s superior."

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. We need not wait to see what others do.”

"Forgiveness is the quality of the brave, not of the cowardly. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

"Heroes are made in the hour of defeat. Success is, therefore, well described as a series of glorious defeats."

“The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane."

“We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word, and deed. But we must keep non-violence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.”

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
