Because certain historical facts does not suit your ideology you are suggesting to blogger "Ask urself ,does this writeup on gandhi will serve any practical purpose except a debate & clicks for ur blog.NO."<br />Remember history is taught in every society and every education system because if you know history you can make a better future as well. The writer is just doing the service to the nation by making people aware of hidden facts, which are beautifully covered by Kangress for so many years to make use of Gandhi! have a a happy gandhi jayanti!!!!Ashutosh Rawalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-81332712403567015142012-10-02T14:55:51.868+05:302012-10-02T14:55:51.868+05:30Well written!

But Gandhi and co made intentional delay by diverting attention of Indian public to 'receive punishment by breaking laws' and many Indians who couldn't fight invading muslims earlier took to this theorapy as we are good at being silent sufferers. <br /><br />Else India could have got Independence in 1930s itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-37492057630164113442012-10-02T12:17:13.646+05:302012-10-02T12:17:13.646+05:30There r million other things on which a highly cap...There r million other things on which a highly capable person like u can write & open the eyes of people,may b a handful,doesnt matter & help upliftment of narrow minded thinking of our society. Ask urself ,does this writeup on gandhi will serve any practical purpose except a debate & clicks for ur blog.NO.<br /><br />On gandhi , remember that in scientifc world nothing is perfect , nothing is 100%,we can only get closer to a set reference point.Without that reference point there would b only confusion.To run a nation ,to stabalise a nation,to bring order ,reference point is must.And in the absence of Bhagat singh,Bose and many others who sacrificed their life what could have been a better way than setting a reference point as gandhi & move the independence process.At least when new generations read anything about gandhi in books today it may not make them good or great but for sure it wont make them bad. <br />Who is & how was our father of nation doesnt matter.What matters is that we pass on the sense of logic,scientific intelligence & scientific thinking to the coming generations for making a strong nation.

Many men sold their lands, left their hi paying jobs to freedom which many of us today take lite. There are many such freedom fighters whom we the Nation comfortably forgotten. We observe Gandhi and Nehru Jayanthi, but nation is not knowing when is Patel Jayanthi or vardhanti. <br /><br />One such forgotten freedom fighter is Pingali Venkaiah who designed our national flag. Not even congress party remember him. This is the party which claim to have brought independence to this country and hence has a right to rule!Sunder Ramannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-56127972691452992962012-10-02T11:21:43.315+05:302012-10-02T11:21:43.315+05:30Gandhi had his own dilemnas, played politics, kept...Gandhi had his own dilemnas, played politics, kept Subhash Bose out of his way, had never liked others to lead the movement other than self and Nehru, had favoured Nehru to lead the country than Patel even though majority of congress leaders felt Patel is better, had shown liniency towards muslims, was instrumental in Pakistan getting lot of moolah for its survival after 1947; <br /><br />But inspite of all the above, he was the only person to get hold of psyche of majority Indians during those times and could command such unparallel trust from his country men from then Pushtoons to madrassis. Otherwise British India with its diverse cultural, religious, caste, regional disparities saw only one dream - Freedom. So Gandhi was unique and numerouno in the world history to achieve what he believed thru 'Satyagraha' and hence 'Mahatma'.Sunder Ramannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-12288340507985765152012-10-02T02:21:21.040+05:302012-10-02T02:21:21.040+05:30While you have the right to express your personal ...While you have the right to express your personal opinions, it is unfortunate that you choose to do so without adequate research. Gandhi is not a Mahatma for his political activities. Gandhi is not Mahatma for leading India to independence. Gandhi is not Mahatma for working to abolish untouchability in India. Gandhi is Mahatma because of the personal sacrifices he made. <br />Let us compare him to another great Mahatma that comes to my mind - Gautam Buddha. Without offending anyone's religious sensibilities, I would like to mention that Gautam was prince in India. He was fairly well to do and far removed from reality. It was an incident in his life that changed his understanding of reality. Gautam Buddha is known less for his life prior to this incident, than for his life after. Using the same yardstick, being thrown out of the 1st class compartment was Gandhi's defining moment.<br />Gautam Buddha left his family in his search for truth. He was fairly selfish in his approach as well. So was Gandhi, in his search for truth. While one attained nirvana under a tree, the other gained that knowledge through service of his people.<br />Not everyone liked what Gautam Buddha preached during his time; however he is revered as God today. Not everyone will appreciate what Gandhi provided to this world, however his teachings were reformist and still applicable in this day and age.<br />The process of becoming a Mahatma is neither easy nor a pleasure trip. It involves sacrifice and an unparalleled urge to search for the truth. It is not about how you lead your life, but what you can change in the world around you. <br />For all the reasons listed above, I am not surprised why Gandhi is 'Mahatma' and why you don't aspire to be one.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-17405730183329491412012-10-02T01:00:23.135+05:302012-10-02T01:00:23.135+05:30www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Lucknow/who-name...www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Lucknow/who-named-mahatma-gandhi-father-of-nation-govt-foxed/Article1-834824.aspxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-23056346766603993932012-10-01T22:19:19.746+05:302012-10-01T22:19:19.746+05:30Interesting facts!

Under Gandhi's pressure, Sardar Patel had to back out. No wonder because of this one man (Nehru - BTW, his grand father is Moghul , converted to Hindu fearing persecution from British) thecountry is in a great mess now. Besides that, the brilliant move he made by naming Feroz XXX to Feroz Gandhi and eventually giving the licence to the family in his name to loot India....Hope this family is wiped out from the face of this earth and the glorious past returns back to our great nation ..Bharatha Varsha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-6534259427404359092012-10-01T17:31:35.836+05:302012-10-01T17:31:35.836+05:30Same here dude.
