has many aspects. On a larger scale, it can be viewed at two levels. The ?rst can be
considered as external cleanliness and the second as internal. F irst we will cast a glance at the
cleanliness of the external kind.
Along with cleaning of body, Gandhiji?s attention was also on the cleanliness in human
cleanliness, household, clothing, beddings etc under external cleanliness. To execute this, he

of English thought and culture. The West has made contribution to the East. The history of
Europe has ?red the hearts of our leaders. Our struggle for ?eedom has been inspired by the
struggles for freedom in England, America and France. If our leaders were ignorant of
