A TRIBUTE TO GANDHIJI Saroj Samal
A TRIBUTE TO GANDHIJI Saroj Samal
30th jan 1948,NATHURAM GODSE'S bullets finished M K GANDHI.OVER THE LAST 66 YEARS ,INDIAN NATION HAS BEEN REMEMBERING,COMMEMORATING,GANDHIJI,the iconic leader,the propounder and practitioner of the theory of "CHANGING THE HEART OF ENEMY" on the eve of " MARTYR'S DAY".
But in today's India,the intensity of intolerance is growing,the pace of violence is accelerating ,identity politics is proliferating and unsustainable model of growth is Precipitating........
Has the nation really internalized GANDHISM?Has the nation really taken Gandhism so seriously? The way our political class behaves,the way our apolitical intelligentsia thinks and the way our politicised masses act,it seems to me as if GANDHI has become the relic of the past,something an embarassment to to India's road to globalisation and development and democracy.
