Answer:
You left us exactly 70 years ago. Those who could not bear the truth and considered satyagraha as an emasculating act did not have courage to argue with you and took you from us.
But even after 70 years, they have not succeeded in their agenda. They do not understand that ideas are immortal. They think that once people die, ideas also die. Former US President John F. Kennedy said,“A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.”
We, the youth, are the beneficiary of your struggle to free India from colonial power. We have interacted with you ever since our childhood. It started with, “Ek rupaya chandi ka, sara desh Gandhi ka (One rupee for silver, the whole country is Gandhi’s).”
Then you are always with us through our currency notes. But did we really understand you despite having a close association?
We heard a lot of negative things about you from our elders. According to them, you could have saved Bhagat Singh, you were the reason behind the partition of India or the appeasement of the Muslim community. But these people never read anything about you. They spoke what they had learnt from those who wanted to reduce your status in the minds of common Indians.
Bapu, you were almost criticised by all of your contemporaries like BR Ambedkar, Subhash Chandra Bose, Muhammad Ali Jinnah – and even by Nehru and Patel sometimes. Despite having the support of the masses, you never called these people ‘anti-national’. Sometimes, you even reconciled with their viewpoint. You were the reason why Dr Ambedkar, one of the greatest critics of your ideology, became a member of the Constituent Assembly and the rest is the history.
India a saffron country – a homogeneous nation. But from the experience of third world countries, it is obvious we will definitely become a failed state if that happens. Today, we are marching towards becoming a failed state and law and order are becoming things of the past. These various senas and dals are threatening the lives of the innocent.
Lastly, Bapu your birth anniversary marked the launch of the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ – but the question is what are we supposed to clean? Until our mindset doesn’t change, how can we become swacch (clean)? We need to clean our prejudiced mindsets.
Bapu, one last request – “Sabko sanmati de (Bless everyone with wisdom).”
Hope it helps uh!!!
Answer:
Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our nation and the one who played a major role in the freedom struggle will always remain in the hearts of all Indians. He won't be forgotten by anyone due to the initiatives he took and the peaceful fights he fought against the British.
Bapu, as everyone calls him, taught us various important lessons to implement in our lives to make our lives easy and peaceful. His way of preaching good things was as unique as him and how he not only freed his own country but also his contribution to freeing South Africa from the evil of Colour discrimination. Everything he did was a milestone in itself.
