| The history of the concept of Sarvodaya in the modern era begins with English social philosopher John Ruskin. In 1860, Ruskin wrote a series of essays that criticized the capitalist system because it created a hierarchical social structure, hyper-competitive culture, mechanical worldview, and undermined the dignity of labor. As an alternative, he suggested building economic systems that facilitate fair wages, meaningful work, and which would focus on enabling the least powerful, not the most. He published this collection of essays in 1862 as a book, entitled Unto This Last.
While Ruskin provided the framework for Sarvodaya philosophy, the term would not be coined until a half-century later. In 1904, a young lawyer in South Africa, Mohandas Gandhi, was given a copy of Ruskin's Unto This Last by Henry Polak, a newspaper editor in Johannesburg. Gandhi read it during an overnight train ride, and recalled in his autobiography that it caused "an instantaneous and practical transformation of my life.” He continued, "I believe that I discovered some of my deepest convictions reflected in this great book of Ruskin.” The lessons that Gandhi understood from Unto This Last were: i. That the good of the individual is contained within the good of all. |
