  Mahatma Gandhi, the charismatic leader of India’s independencemovement, who played a great role in religious, moral, social and politicalawakening of Indians in the early twentieth century, was extremely impressedby religious, moral and mystical motivations. Therefore, he was entitledMahatma (The Great Soul) by Indian society, which is considered a mysticaland religious award.In his point of view, religion had a fundamental status. Consequently, thecritical viewpoints against religion in the modern world greatly concernedhim and later on, brought about his religious and social reformative thoughts.In his opinion, religion was more comprehensible in practice andexperience; hence, he thought that man must pass through superficial aspectsof religion by practicing all religious and moral instructions, then penetratesinto its depths, so that he would experience the Truth face to face.In this article, we have tried to clarify the religious dimensions of hispersonality, and also scrutinize simultaneously his most significant ideas andreflections on religious realm, specially on Hinduism and some subjects suchas God, faith, Brahmacharya, Ahimsā, satyāgraha, unity of religions andreligious reformations.

  Abstract The Iranian Balochistan province was deprived of the country's cultural movement until 1928, and education was scarce. The era of the First Pahlavi king holds a special place in political, economic, social, and cultural history of this province. It seems the emergence of modern sciences in Balochistan took place in this period. The main question of this study involves the examination of the beginning and developments of education for Baloch children during Reza Shah's rule. Considering the sensitivity of the subject, a historical method using a descriptive-analytical design was employed; a desk study was carried out and documents of Iranian archives organizations and National Library of Iran were studied and analyzed. The results indicate that after the Ghoshun Operation (a military operation in 1928) in Balochistan, the government focused on expanding cultural developments through projects such as the establishment of the Department of Culture and Education and establishment of boarding schools in Khash, Iranshahr, Saravan and Zahedan counties. It appears that the military presence helped the expansion and growth of schools in Balochistan. On the other hand, many factors, such as insufficient budgetary allocations, untimely payment of wages to the teachers of newly founded schools, poor road conditions, and negligence of some politicians in cultural matters, contributed to the ups and downs of the modern education during this period.
