How do I react (on the eve of the Independence Day)
when a girl who is just my sister's age, comes and tells me,
Nathuram Godse was a great man, and when I asked why,
she says, because he killed Gandhi. I asked her what does
she know about Gandhi, she just said that whatever she
read in school books never made her love Gandhi
(in other words, it made her hate him). I was speechless,
I just thought for some time and asked,
did you read any of Gandhi's books? She said,
I must be aware by now, that she hardly reads.
Then I asked, how can you make an opinion
about a person, whom you don't even know and
she just said, "I don't like him." I really didn't have
any words to say, I just thought to myself,
tomorrow, we are going to celebrate 60 years of
independence and today, here is a girl, who can't
even appreciate what Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
did for India. I don't know it is the mistake of the school,
the friends, the family or somethings else,
which made her hate Gandhi without knowing
facts about him.
This episode only made me reiterate one thing
about todays youth, that they all live in a farce reality.
I wanted to wish her "Happy Independence Day" but
I couldn't, thinking she might feel that it is farce too.

Man can't even create a maggot but creates gods by dozens...we dont know a shit about Gandhi but criticize him fiercely...
I have no surprise that people react that way, a lot of my friend do that...and you know what Hitler is their role model...I only hoped they would have to spend a night in a septic tank filled with shit to save themselves from the army of Hitler...
But they would not have minded that for the great Hitler, either way the kind of life these people are living is nothing better than a spetic tank...and their heads and hearts are full of shit...
salute to gandhi haters...I hate gandhi too, because he brought freedom to those who dont deserve it...
Wonderful write uo Swapnil..I feel exactly the same.. i have had many a heated arguments with people who say tht if not for Gandhi, India would have got her freedom way back..people have no idea about history... to all those people all i say is, go read "My experiments with truth". Well, Hitler, Modi, its all d same isnt it?
