Ridiculous Article
by Salman on Feb 12, 2006 05:43 PM

The gist of this article seems to be - "Visiting Gandhiji's grave = Respecting Gandhiji". Nothing can be far from truth. As an Indian, my chest swells with pride whenever I see the tri-colour or Gandhji's name is mentioned. But why should I visit his grave to prove that I respect him? In fact, muslims are not supposed to visit any grave, even those of muslim saints, with an intention of praying there. Visiting graves should be just to make ourselves aware that we also need to die someday or the other. Does that mean that I do not respect even muslim saints? That's not true.
