గాంధీజీ యంత్రాల వినియోగాన్ని వ్యతిరేకించారా
क्या, गांधीजी यंत्रसमूह के विनियोग को विरोध किया
There is an alround impression that Gandhiji opposed machinery. Then a defence is available that he opposed the craze for machinery and not the machinery itself per se. He seems to have opposed the craze for machinery because machines displace labour and make their lives miserable. This pro-labour sympathetic opposition to machinery is reasonable.
Today (2007), India is going through a revolution. Everywhere there are machines. The people replaced by machinery are leading miserable lives.

Machines reduce drudgery of humans. At the sametime, they take away the essential physical exercise which humans need to lead healthy lives. Striking a balance between the two, is a problem because different types of individuals have different levels of drudgery and the extent of rest required. Anyway, we have to discuss this issue in length, in an unbiased manner.
