M K Gandhi
Of all the people who have people who have inspired me I would rate Gandhi at number two, next only Lord Krishna. He is a man lived what he preached. However, this blog is not about the greatness of Gandhi, enough is already written about it. I wanted to share my views on the way we treat Gandhi Jayanthi.Gandhi lived a life of a karma yogi and declared work as the best form of worship, so I feel odd to see that we are celebrating his birth anniversary as a lazy holiday, not to mention the liquor that we stock on Oct 1st as Gandhi Jayanthi is a dry day.
Shouldn't we come out of these hypocrisy and start commemorating Gandhi in a more meaningful way? Shouldn't we stop our political correctness about Gandhi as to who should own his legacy and who should not?
In my view the answer is "YES".
