4 Cleanliness Lessons That Mahatma Gandhi Taught Us

Born and raised in a Hindu merchant caste family in coastal Gujarat, western India, and trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, Gandhi first employed nonviolent civil disobedience as an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, in the resident Indian community's struggle for civil rights. Most of us might did not know that Mahatma Gandhi was the one who initiated the movement of Clean India. Here are 5 lessons that he taught us, but we failed to learn them-

# Gandhi said : Those who spit after chewing betel leaves and tobacco have no consideration for the feelings of others.

# Gandhi said : I learnt 35 years ago that a lavatory must be as clean as a drawing-room. I learnt this in the West.

# Gandhi said : There is no gainsaying that we have not learnt the art of external sanitation to the degree that the English have.

# Gandhi said : To pass urine anywhere in a street, at any place not meant for the purpose should be regarded an offence.
