RE:Gandhiji great inspiration Bad politics
by Amit Ketkar on Jul 11, 2008 10:28 PM

The power that Mahatma Gandhi wielded was immense. It is sad that you do not consider the Mahatma and his teachings to be of any value. Mahatma Gandhi taught us self reliance and a way to uplift our villages. Ever try a non voilent protest against opression and you will know how much courage and strength it requires.
It is sad that Mahatma Gandhi is respected more outside India then within, kind of like Yoga which the west is absorbing like a sponge and India neglects. It is mostly the new generation that reject Mahatma Gandhi, maybe because we never lived in his time.
