Mahatma Gandhi

The one who led in front to the realization of the notion of the nation called 'INDIA'. Let all Indians bow their head in reverance to this great personality. he led billions into the protest against the colonizing England, but all in a non-violent approach. Proud to be an Indian after you, MAHATMA GANDHI.................. Jai Hind. Today, october 2, all Indians celebrate it as Gandhi Jayanti. Just watched the famous 1982 movie Gandhi. Moved and touched in the heart and the person Gandhi has inspired many but he is being forgotten in the days. The same right wing fanatic who killed Gandhi has more followers in India these days and the country which was once knows for the special brand of secularism in accepting and respecting people of all class, creed, religion and caste are getting divided in the name of religion, caste, class and creed. The extreme right wing religious nationalism spread roots into the disturbed minds of the citizens who are misled by the rhetoric of the people with vested interests. It is time for me and for all to wake up to hold the hands together to recite again and imprint in our hearts the pledge ‘India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters……’ That was taught when I was a child and I still remember the days when we at the ground of St.Aloysious High School, recited the whole pledge early morning before the classes began with all the colleagues. I am proud to be an Indian. I love to be known, identified and die as an Indian rather than a representative of any religion, caste, class or creed.
