Gandhi Jayanthi

As we approach, October 2, I wish to write about something which I recently saw on one of the social networking sites.

October 2 happens to be the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. Yes, he is the father of our nation.

What I observed on orkut, was that, there was a Community called " I HATE MAHATMA GANDHI ". Well, I was kind of surprised and sad looking at this. Yes, its after all some individuals opinion. No can argue with that.

But, for a person who dedicated almost his entire life, to see, his people free, I thought this was a little bit unanticipated.

In these days, people do not have even a single day to do Community Service. Yes, take my example. I have backed off on one occasion, when provided an opportunity. I feel these days, money takes the driver seat. Forget sacrificing entire life. Its a rare feat achieved by a few only.

Even Mahatma Gandhi was highly educated. But why did he chose to do something for the people of this country? Some trademarks of people who are really great leaders, visionaries.

I can salute and say, it is because of Mahatma Gandhi and many other freedom fighters that we are free today and can think about other stuffs like, ya, exceeding in so called technology.

So is it right to say " I hate Gandhi ".

I don't think so. Every Indian must be proud that a leader like Mahatma Gandhi was born in India..

That is what I can say.
