Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
Mahatma Gandhi is the victim of religious extremism. Had he got support from the self declared religious leaders, the partition could have been easily avoided. It is really unfortunate that they blame Him for the partition when they themselves were solely responsible.
Many people then and now, get the leadership status, idealistic status just by blaming him, which is ridiculous.
This nation cannot survive without his principles.
The article has correctly identified Gandhiji’s core values of truth, non-violence and communal harmony. As a Gandhian myself I distinguish between these core values and circumstantial ones like his opposition to foreign cloth, machinery, drinking tea etc..
In like manner the BJP needs to distinguish between Gandhiji’s specs and his VISION!
Mahtma Gandhi’s philosophy failed in his lifetime itself.Country got partitioned ,millions of people brutally massacred and became homeless. Non violence is good to talk but difficult to make it work.History of the world is witness of unprecedented brutal mass murders ,Burning and killings.Present day World is witnessing brutal killings and mass murders.Where is the voice of non-voilence? Religions have been the cause of unprecedented violence in the past and even in the present time.
Without the ideal of non-violence, there would be even more violence in the world. This ideal reduces violence; it does not eliminate it.
Mahatma Gandhi- the champion freedom struggle, sanitation, economic development, world politics, social reform, untouchability, communal harmony and equality, non voilence ,and what not. Infact he SINGLE HANDEDLY WON the independence for India.
It’s also a fact that current efforts are being made to detoriate his image by the people who had least interest in the freedom struggle , who were not Patriots then or since then .
The less ssid about mohandas and his quixotic theories the better.Even Ambedkar did not accept the term mahatma for MKG.Mkg s thories wre never accepted by nehru and jinnah.
According to the RSS-BJP, Gandhi was a namard. He has no place in a society that is out to take revenge for the last 1000 years or so of foreign invasions. That is what is driving modern India. Revenge for the past.
Mahatma Gandhi is eternal. His contribution to India’s freedom movement is not contingent on the judgment of historians or efforts made by successive governments to enlarge or diminish his role. To a large extent, that applies to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as well, although in his case, because he exercised powers of governance for seventeen years, an intensely more critical / penetrating evaluation is merited.
Totally agree on both personalities. Mahatma Gandhi has been one of the most innovative leaders in the history of mankind, fearless and humane. Einstein opposed war and violence too. Oppenheimer regretted nuclear violence. Pacifism, if adopted across communities, can only do good to mankind. Nehru, as an ardent disciple of Gandhi, could not escape committing some mistakes from the perspective of hardcore geopolitics. However, in its times, NAM was a great idea. The world hasn’t changed for the better.
I said it un 2015…it is a ploy of RSS in reducing the image of Mahatma Gandhi as just as mascot of sanitation.
Mohandas Karamchand was an interesting character. Not practical.
Definitely not for Hindus. Our weakness and pacifism were why we were enslaved for so long.
Non-violence would be impractical.
Mr Blogger. Don’t get shocked. As per the ideals of M K Gandhi we can do away with our Defence Forces. Besides being the propounder of non violence to absurd levels if one bothers to go through his speeches and letters one cannot ignore Mr. Gandhi’s crankiness.
