if the mahatma were alive today, he would not have been covered by the media or allowed to speak his mind on anything under the sun, because he has not created any wealth nor employment. those with high net worth are ofcourse different they give employment to so many,that he can speak on anything under the sun, from urban issues to poverty to governance to education. we must emulate him, when he says that he is ashamed of singing the national anthem in front of his foreign associates and foreigner employees. how does it matter that thousands of indians laid down their lives and happily faced the bullets of our colonial masters and defied them to sing vande mataram/ sare jahan se acchha/ or even jana gana mana.
