Who is responsible for crime to flourish? We are. To call it a generic expression like 'time of crime' makes it sound more like a fad that anything else. There have been so many instances where I have followed the Gandhian principle myself. Maybe not on a revolutionary level but at traffic lights, at queues, in places where I see blatant disregard to the rules I have done my job as a citizen to make sure truth is maintained and a system is followed. <BR/><BR/>I dont know if I made my point clear but to me, that is where the change starts. That is where the healing of the Gandhian soul begins.ShaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560466960703260887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-1157698342741565092006-09-08T08:52:00.000+02:002006-09-08T08:52:00.000+02:00on one point yes.... he tried to instill the funda...on one point yes.... he tried to instill the fundamentals of humanity in us which is in turn preached by every religion...... above all... the nation followed him.....<BR/><BR/>in today's time of crime... how will anybody follow those principles.....i know the 'how' is very blatant... but can we do anything about it.... <BR/><BR/>a person is ridiculed for being truthful... for not being an expert in lying... this sounds silly... an example of what his principles are... the result(?)mounahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778311918599901934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-1157644569262322952006-09-07T17:56:00.000+02:002006-09-07T17:56:00.000+02:00@Venu: Thanks for the comment there.

Some of which we understand but most of which is a matter of practice.<BR/><BR/>@Mouna: Partition was a beast that was born as a result of greed for power. Gandhiji tried his best to convince everyone not to go through with it but failed. Now that it is done with, we have not done anything since freedom to try and take what was worth taking from Gandhi's ideals and philosophy. That, is what I was trying to drive home in this article.ShaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560466960703260887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-1157643671668799212006-09-07T17:41:00.000+02:002006-09-07T17:41:00.000+02:00but do we agree on every aspect.... what about the...but do we agree on every aspect.... <BR/><BR/>what about the aftermath of partition?... was it called for.... though the after-effects do shake the country even now...mounahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778311918599901934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-1157610445135497372006-09-07T08:27:00.000+02:002006-09-07T08:27:00.000+02:00i agree with your thoughts Shashi.

But will he forgive those persons, who repeat their sins like giving false promises, tearing poor's lives?VENU VINODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511786802748024839noreply@blogger.com
