    Father of our nation, a man of esteem high principles, a father of all religions and above all a devine soul, Mahatma Gandhi is a living inspiration to the world. He being a Hindu, he was a christian, a muslim, a buddhist and above all a human. He got rid of foreign rule through Non- voilence and faught against descrimination by touching and healing the so called untouchables. Is our nation and political parties, particularly Bajrang dal and VHP upholding his principles?

    Its very nice to see people celebrating Gandhi Jayanti and respecting him. Gandhi fought for our freedom. But r we enjoying it? The ones alive are being tortured and I really dont understand why they have so much respect him when they have no regards for his values. Save the ones who are alive, respect them first and then garland the statues.
