I'm just a rookie scribbler -- I've to have the omnipotence of Mister Vikram Seth to write about Gandhi Ji...
Gandhi Ji practiced and preached nonviolence -- throughout his life. -- Blunt, stark and grim truth is: His blood is on our hands -- We murder our messiahs and our saviors in cold blood -- That's an unforgivable sin... You'd NEVER rationalize patricide... We'd NEVER look at ourself in the mirror -- Our face is grotesquely deformed...
They say: 'You can't undo the past.' That's correct.
Let's try to look on the bright side:
They say: 'You can't undo the past.' That's correct.
Let's try to look on the bright side:
'Although pleas for commutation were made by India's prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and by Gandhi's two sons on the grounds that a death sentence would dishonour the legacy of a man opposed to all forms of violence, Godse was hanged a week later.'
Doesn't this prove that we're a nation throbbing with an unheard-of idealism.
How did we deal even with deranged men like Nathuram Godse and his coconspirators? -- We put 'em on trial -- We didn't lynch 'em -- That's in 1949 -- Our judicial and democratic apparatuses were in their infancy.
Gandhi Ji left us many legacies -- Charkha is one amongst 'em -- It's an icon -- that goads us to be self-reliant -- Not only as a nation but also as an individual.
We didn't dishonor him. Nope, we didn't. We kept our promise.
