T A L I S M A N


 
Need of Gandhi or need to rediscover Gandhi.
In this new age,we cannot blindly follow the
aesthetic path of Mahatma Gandhi.
Times have changed ,so the people have changed.
Whenever I go through the writings of Marx,
I find a subtle simililarity between Bapu and Marx thinking.
Today UN,USA but not India are trying to show their
reverance for Gandhi.
Gandhi by no means held a perfect vision or should
be considered a apostle of peace.
But he was the first to consider his faults and tried
to alter the repurcussions(although failed to do so).
We have to learn a lot from this person.Idea,belief,
faith,imperfect vision,almost everything.
A close look at his principles show that his relevance
is greater now than it ever was.
His impeccable resilience to fight all odds,his economic
approach and his altruism.

Growing avarice,intended loathe,continuos bloodshed,unequivocal

opulence needs to be stopped.

The whole idea behind KHADI inspired me to write this article.
Even great economists like Smith,Marx,Keynes
couldn't think of it but Gandhi.
He didn't believe in the standard cliches of social life like casteism,imperialism,capitalism etc.
He was no pedagouge but a follower of a dictator,voice of his conscience,the SELF.
His dream was free and stable INDIA but we have repeatedly
failed him in many ways.
Todays farmers are a true example of THE MAN WITH A HOE
and we are responsible for it.
Contemporary notion of good governance was refused to
obey always.
He was not a critique of modernity but a follower of modernity.
He was in favour of upliftment
of womens in society,against all kinds of social discrimination
and wanted to have control over one's destiny.


The world would be a much fairer,happier and prosperous
place to live if Gandhian principles were
included in the fundamental principles of World Constitution(dream).


"Categorically speaking,One day we will change the world"

  1. Even though i am not a follower of the Gandhian Ideology, I like the article...u've made a good point...we may have failed in some ways (u r seeing the negative side), but on the other hand there are enough reasons for him to be proud of us, for example - we are the largest democracy of a million people having various dialects and cultures sticking together...thats an achievement by itself..
