As you all know, i am a very lazy person. It was GANDHI JAYANTI a couple of days back and i felt like writing about it today. I am not going to sing praises for our FATHER OF THE NATION and neither count out his achievements. It just crossed my mind that what he might be thinking looking at our system today????
I dunno whether he might be happy or sad but he surely might be thinking...."WAS IT WORTH FIGHTING FOR SUCH PEOPLE???"...
Even i myself wonder, "Why did he keep countless number of fasts for people who fight for reasons as silly as a small piece of land and that to for 60 long years????". "Why did he start so many movements for people who send their SO - CALLED "CHAMCHAS" to break their own party's office just because they didnt get a ticket to fight the election!!!!!." "Why did he press for self - governance at a place where no government job can be completed without bribing the officials??". "Why did he promote secularism at a place where people are still called out names and beaten up if they come from some other place and yet after 60 years politicians are still trying to divide us on the basis of religion just to come to power!!!!!!"
I am not here to promote his ideals or something like that. Its sad to say but his path of non - violence won't be effective in a system like ours. I might be sounding a sadist but unfortunately that's the truth for a simple reason that the people in our system are लातों के भूत and they wont change with any act of satyagraha or non - violence. In the end, its not only BAPU but all those who laid down their lives for our country will be thinking of the same question...."WAS IT WORTH IT??????"
