Nice. Just returned from cleanliness programme arranged by an NGO group in our area..
Indeed a good gesture to participate in the programme organized to commemorate the Birthday of this great man, who had sacrificed his entire life for the upliftment of down trodden.

Good post J J ji. But, this confirms that 'Gandhi kaNakku' = 'nAmam'!!
It is terror and hate - noplace for Gandhi's Ahimsa!Yes, but today's India has forgotten Mahatma Gandhi. They only hate a different Gandhi.

Arunthathi Roy recently called him "Saint of status co" due to his caste prejudices! Mayawati is unhappy for calling Dalit as 'Harijan' and thinks it unconstitutional!
In Ghana University his statue removed - reason he is racist!
Controversies are nothing new to Gandhiji. He has faced many throughout his life. The people of the present generation have no idea about the issues he had faced during his life time. He fought for the freedom of his mother land and respect for the down trodden relentlessly. His methods were unique. Through out his life he never aspired for any position or power, which he would have got easily just for the asking. He was such a great man the present bunch of "leaders" may not have the power to understand him.
As an octogenarian I feel lucky to have lived during his life time.

Yes Ma'am, Gandhiji was the leader of a great National movement to free the Country from the shackles of foreign rule. Indian National Congress was an umbrella movement accepting all ideologies from right to left. In 1923 Gandhiji introduced a revolutionary concept of nonviolence "Sathyagraha" to fight the mighty British.There is a vast difference between a Hero and a Leader, T B S Sir! :decision:
A hero is worshiped :hail: whereas a Leader is worshiped and followed. :flock:
hiNo one can deny that Mahatma was a great Hindu. But unfortunately, he viewed ‘Hindu-Muslim’ unity as a sanctified cult and as such failed to see the writing on the wall. He went on giving concessions to the Muslims in the name of ‘unity’ which came to bite him (and Hindus in general) hard in the end. We will see that as early as 1921, Mahatma had set upon the path of ‘Muslim appeasement’ at all costs which did cost India dearly in the end
Some one even called him Moulana of Muslim appeasement!-Not with out reasons - his support for Caliphate and Kilafat - his writings & views on Mappla revolt unlike that of Ambedkar or Annie Besant!

The present (Indira) Congress which usurped the name of that mighty organisation has nothing in common with INC of the past. In fact Gandhiji asked to windup the Indian National Congress, the movement after independence.

Dear Sri Prasad,Sir,
I say this with all sincerity.
You and I are old for modern India and Indians.
In 50 more years Mahatma Gandhi will be a distant memory.
Sadly, there is no room for esteemed leaders. The modern leaders have destroyed the reverence we felt for our leaders.
Ahimsa is well planned violence.
