Defending The Mahatma
"I have
nothing new to teach the world. Truth and non-violence are as old as the
hills" this is what M.K. Gandhi said about his principles which
revolutionized the world.
He dreamt
that we inculcate those ethics and values and practice in our daily
system. But even more than half a century after independence do we
really see a glimpse of it anywhere? We could see only one thing and that
was publicly criticize him for his ideals. Is violence only a means to set
our system in order? Can't we people surrogate the issue by peace? You
have corruption, nepotism, sleaze rampaging up day by day no doubt, and
you have a very good bureaucratic gibberish system which conceals you to
fight for the people but seldom does it. So in this chaos do we break our
bones to solve the issues? The only question that requires to be answered
is why do we hate him so much? The answer is simple-inadequate knowledge
about the mahatma, his deeds, and his untiring contribution to this
country. Do we have an estimate of the power of truth?
Have we ever
tried to build the pillars of "ahimsa"? Well in an ocean where
there are islands of darkness groping up who cares for this? The need for
the day is shun down the egoist attitude, the mutual distrust with which
we are passing. That's why the need arises for mahatma to be justified.

Non
violence - can be
a good force if practiced and can bring masses under one shelter.
If we have the moot of "shoot the messenger" we
can't progress. That is a sheer criminal act. We have to face
the person, we have to impress upon them that the thing they
are doing is beyond the limits, by hogging guns and pestering
down people ruthlessly we are poking our own conduct and spoiling
our image in the society.
Well if the
issues can be sorted out by peace go ahead. There is no room
for patronage among the equals.

Honesty
- this sounds so obsessed
today, neh!? This is a cryptic word which has spread like a virus
and hampered our lives! That's what is today's youth mantra. We
don't say there is dishonesty brooding in everywhere but we have
still a huge huge drop of honesty in our country. Our own netas
and babus, we are well aware of their scams and convictions hitting
the headlines daily, why to mention them! Well the board" honesty
is the best policy" is whiplashes at the backyard and who cares
to follow it. Honesty is a virtue that gives you inner strength.
It makes your conscience mentally strong, it leads to the right
direction whereby you gain the ultimate of life. Gandhiji an apt
philosopher who strongly enforced this word among his friends and
foes thereby he united people on a threshold where they stood to
fight for every injustice done to them, and the Britishers had to
forcefully wash their hands.
Well lastly we feel there was a strong force who guided us during
our remorse times, who took an initiative to cleanse the system
by his virtues, by his marvelous demeanor, a patron who moved
that magic stick to bring us to light from darkness. A true
freedom fighter who fought till the last breath of his life
so that we could sleep in peace. Well it's difficult to pen down
those moments unraveling those memories of our nation! A
"sone ki chidiya" flying with freedom to achieve its dreams.
How great it would have been if we had him today.
Its still
not late, just an inner voice who can breaks the chains of poverty,
corruption, violence, rage, is needed. So why cant you just follow his
path and lead the transformation of MOHAN to MAHATMA.
