These people never had enough for themselves or their families but what they gave to this nation was everything they had, including their families and their souls. I wish her message went to the masses in a bigger way. At 106, twice the age when many in India are contemplating their retirement a few years down the line, she with her frail hands still yearns to serve the nation. What a great article!! And what a lucky and great author as well, I envy him.
It is high time her interview is published in leading dailies so that present younger generation could enlighten themselves and people doing all types of wrong things could start hating themselves.
It was refreshing to hear about this great patriot in today's corrupt political system. Wish people including the politicians take a moment and read this article and learn about what 'patriotism' is and what 'serving people' is.
I appreciate rediff on publsihing such news articles.
