A Note

Please note that the following blog is not meant to be a dialogue on whether Gandhi's ideas are relevant in today's world. Also, the blog does not intend to idolize Gandhi or make claims that he alone won our freedom. In fact, it intends to do something quite contrary to that. I intend to humanize Gandhi and see him in the light of the man that he was, and not in the light of the mahatma that he is forced to be.

Please remember that one man going on a fast, satyagraha or non-cooperation would have made absolutely no difference to the British, and hence, Gandhi alone certainly did not win our freedom. It was only because three hundred million Indians stood with him that we won our freedom. This is what the following article tries to bring to notice.

Simply amazing...Pls bear in mind that the admiration has not been justified by the two words but for me to digest these articles will take some more readings...you have penned something that not only is thought provoking but also something which opens new paths for the thoughts to traverse. Now since you have wetted the appetite of the reader in me, it might be injurious to you if you dont feed me more such articles frequently.
