Dear Bapu,
Great people are one in lakhs and so were you Bapu. Great people like you are born once in thousand years and dies after doing a lot to the country, to the people and they form a ever living personality of themselves in the world, in the heart of people. You were apart from all those crowd of people who were normal, you were special, you made your name in everyone heart and your inspirations are forever settled in everyone heart.
What I can say about your kindness and your love for a country! My one of the role model and inspiration is none other than you . You not only inspired me , you inspires, inspiring, and will keep on inspiring people with your works and quotes, though you are not alive in this world but you are forever alive in each Indian people heart.
War is not a solution to every problem, said by you, it's true, wars are not solutions to every problem. You made me inspired by making me determined to always move to the right path and solving problems, fights, and difficulties with peace. We all will carry this idea in every field of life, as this skill of being peaceful and doing works wisely in difficult situations is needed in every part of our life as it makes our character more sensible and we become one of the likes of people. I believe that your ideas will be a mindset for everyone and everyone will effectively use your ideas in their life.
It would be great if I would be able to meet you once in my life and if they would be possible I am sure that day would be a great day of my life.You are the father of our nation, your photo is not in currency notes like that only, you were special and unique that's why it's there. You selflessly contributed to the people, you made them feel proud of their country.
The movements started by you were very effective and made our India proud, you made us realise that one should be happy with what they have, one should respect ones country heritage, countries culture and country things. Foreign materials aren't as good as we have.
You fled the Britishers from India by non-violence which is one of the successful thing you have done. Children even loved you for your kindness and the love you gave to everyone.
The famous quote by you-
"The weak can never forgive, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong"
You made us realise that mistakes happen from everyone, but the strong is one who forgives not punish, punishment can never make anyone accept his mistake, but the kind words will make. One should be wise enough to forgive one who commits mistake.
You also said that we should serve everyone selflessly without caring of the price. We should be happy that we are helping others, price doesn't matters, good deeds are more than anything.Also , it is said by you , that work hard as you will live forever, that means, that we should work hard without caring of future, we don't know when we will die, but we should serve others as we will live forever so our name is forever alive. There are many other things you inspired me with. Can't tell more in words.
At last I would thank you for your works and inspirations. You were alive , you are alive, and you will be alive.

Dear Bapu, you are immortal
Dear Bapu,
I am writing this letter to you to express my gratitude to you for everything you have done for our country. You are indeed a the great soul and rightfully the Father of the Nation. Your philosophy of truth and non-violence that paved the way for the freedom from the British rule.
Your birth anniversary, Gandhi Jayanti, is celebrated on October 2 as a national event across India. This day is observed across the entire world as the International Day of Non-violence.
Dear Bapu, your Salt March from the month of March to April 1930 in India, was an act of civil disobedience to protest the British rule in India. It was one of the first major demonstrations of nonviolent resistance to the British colonial rule led by you. By this the Indian independence movement gained more followers. The zeal for independence increased in momentum.
Your non-violence and satyagraha policy lead India to achieve Independence without shedding a drop of blood. India achieved freedom in August, 1947. Your philosophy of non-voilence is admired across the world. It has been adopted by many civil and political groups to stage protest against injustice and powerful corrupt leaders.
You believed that all human beings are God’s special people and must be treated equally irrespective of their caste, color, language, creed, region, and religion.
Dear Babu, you are immortal. You will always live in our hearts. Your memory will always be cherished. You will always be remembered for your selfless love for the country and her citizens, your humility, your truth and non-violence, and for your tireless efforts to remove discrimination from every corner of our Motherland. Generations after generations will come. They will all wonder that some like you, in flesh and blood once walked on this Earth to overcome wars with non-violence.
Your life, your sacrifice and your noble principles have inspired me and also changed my way of thinking. I will always try to follow your footsteps.
Yours lovingly,
ASHUTOSH DAS
