Majboori Ka naam Mahatma Gandhi ?

So we are going to stumble upon Gandhi Jayanthi within a week i.e. on 2nd October. As usual there will be customary functions at government level, meat and wine shops closed and it will be an paid off for the working class.

I had that privilege to visit the famed Sabarmati ashram situated on banks of river Sabarmati at the centre of Ahmedabad city where Gandhi spent his time preparing himself for a greater battle of life which the destiny wanted him to lead on behalf of millions of Indians. 

And this Gandhi jayanthi adds more value to the millions of Gandhians like me across the world as it marks an end to their proxy standing amidst closed society and indicates a dawn of their emotional connect with soul of India.

I had a brief altercation with one my online well-wisher who questioned my backing for the tenets of Mahatma Gandhi which according to him was a vague attempt as he finds the world heavily disoriented from the ideals of Gandhiji. I have no two words accepting his observation on its face value but who is at loss because of this disorientation, is it the world or the essence of Mahatma Gandhi? Great people doesn't need this world as they have found their way into red books of the time. It is this disoriented world that needs the margdharshan of great people during these troubled times.

Very aspect of follies who seek to character assassinate the great souls indicate that great souls have done their worthy job on behalf of all those sweet hearts to prove that millions of deceits cannot stand before a mighty soul with a mighty heart.

Last but not least Mahatma Gandhi doesn't symbolize majboori instead symbolize fact check for the ones who are off-springs of majboori.

150 years of Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi - 2

As soon as you are born you are categorized. You are categorized as either black or white, next categorization will be as boy or girl, then categorized as high caste or low caste, further categorization of this religion or that religion, next classification as rich or poor, also you are classified based on your education level etc. This list can go on endless. As and when human finds a difference he categorizes and labels them.  

 As the net of information technology spreads wider new categories are created and new lists are defined. I was just wondering what were these classifications achieving in practical world. First and foremost these lists find the way into admission of kid into a school. The correspondent has a checklist and ticks the same to decide the child he intakes. Next application of this classification would be while securing a job in a company, classification is also used while selecting a bride or bridegroom. So the application of classification is extended throughout the society.




This segregation of person in the society acts as an indicator in deciding how he/she should be routed within the society. But this entire process is hijacked by the narrow minded people who self appoint themselves towards task of protecting the particular category of the people. For example there are women welfare organization to protect the rights of women. child welfare organization to protect the rights to children, language welfare organization, caste welfare organization, religion welfare organization and so on.

There is nothing wrong in a person being feminist but when the person begins to put the entire male bastion into the cage of guilt just noting the wrong doings of few then it is absurd. Similarly there is nothing wrong in vouching for your language or religion but when that turns out into an act of creating enemy character and trying to spread quality of hatred, it portrays poor picture.

Recently there is a clamor to appropriate particular land based on language or religion. Such disoriented forces should understand the ability of force in expanding reach of language or religion is very much limited. External people don't shortlist a person based on language or religion but based on their talent and humility. 

By reading the life styles of great people like Mahatma Gandhiji, it helps you get enlightened to the fact that you are tied with threads of classification by the society to limit your thinking ability. Once you realize this fact, you can untie yourself and feel essence of being HUMANS OF THE UNIVERSE who can think beyond the boundaries of sex, caste, creed, religion to understand that it is only language of LOVE that can upgrade us during our lifetime.

150 years of Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Heated conversation between two people, each one listing the complaints against each other. None of the two knows why are they acting like they are and not sure what is their ultimate conclusive act. Situation is just getting OUT OF CONTROL. 


Believe me, there are cent percent chances of we getting ourselves in above situation wherein we would be arguing with the opposite just to satisfy our ego and there is no big outcome to be proud of. Just few days later we  try to recollect the incident and we feel absolutely fooled by situational emotion. There is also chance that you don't accept this and be happy with your ego.

There is no big loss with this kind of emotional bankruptcy until it is within limits. That is there is no problem while you are walking and you fall down due to loss of control but there is considerable damage you driving a bike at 60kmps and fall down due to loss of control.

The big question arises on how to prevent this loss of control in our life. Many will argue that it is an experience which you cannot prevent. Accepted. There might be less chances of preventing the mishap but proper use of safety equipment shall minimize the impact of such mishap. So what is exactly that safety equipment. 

Safety equipment is nothing but our belief in truth, non-violence and immunity to negative emotions.

Having mentioned about non-violence, no one has practically demonstrated the benefits of non-violence to the world as been done by our beloved Mahatma Gandhiji. He lived for that, he died for that.



Some people like to argue that non-violence is coward's weapon. A simple analogy would be curing a patient suffering from pain due to unidentified disease. Doctor has two possible ways to cure the disease. One way is to operate the patient which might involve considerable amount of blood loss and damage to internal organs but immediate relief from the pain. There is no guarantee that pain shall not reappear. Second way is to be on a regular medication and following proper diet practice which shall cure the disease gradually and reduce the pain over the period of time.

Hence a non-violent person is much stronger than violent person who can endure pain for longer period just to make sure the situation gets cured properly.

And we are celebrating 150 years of Gandhiji and is a best occasion to recall his unmatched service towards the idea of bloodless force capable of gaining the attention of power drunk people towards the world of humanity and equality. The idea of non violent non co operation inspires many around the world and has instilled the belief that there is a big power which can traverse the boundaries touched by sticks, guns and bombs. You just need a backing of convincing ideology, you raise your fist and your voice. You are the ultimate power in the world which no one can ignore.

Celebrate 150 years of Gandhiji by sharing this post.

Gandhi Thatha ki jai....

Today is a holiday and we owe this free time to Shri Mahatma Gandhiji. Is it not?? This is a very small reason to be happy about Gandhi but much more can be drawn from the pockets of this thin bodied, scantly dressed, bald headed, with spectacles for his eyes and a stick of support in his hand...yet he his Mahatma..a great soul..named Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi..



His life can never be understood by the one who believes in getting the acts done fast without worrying about others..and wish to enjoy the fruits from a tree without even waiting for the fruit to get ripened..!!!



One such practical instance is wrt queue system in a bus stop..not practiced by us but if done can surely bring about major change in our mentality or our respect to a life based on order..Well.. there are reasons for  people not following this queue based system..

1. There is no one to supervise the queue 
2. Young people who are healthy want to test their strength in entering a bus
3. Buses do not stop at a bus stop in a proper manner etc


Above are few reasons which we have for not maintaining an order at bus stop.. and hence resort to other way i.e crowding..a bus comes and everyone pounce on it..even without allowing the one to get down..!!! Now no one questions the root i.e. transport corporations which is expected to increase the number of buses and its frequency as we have no time/energy to spend in this direction and we are busy managing the crowd..!!We are still travelling but without any order or understanding..

The above story can be linked to Mr. Gandhi.. it is because of him we got an independence in ORDER...in a way which changed the WORLD's VISION about life.. which was till then based on power politics ( Read about the world wars and the reason for which they were fought). And it was because of this little man, WORLD could understand that Human's existence should be based on Human values i.e. LOVE,CARE and DIGNITY devoid of any political or economical power associated with them.



Now, do you want to imagine the world without the Gandhiji or his precious thoughts about respecting human values...You need not imagine it, just have glance about the happenings in our neighboring country and you will realize that INDIA HAS ESCAPED FROM HELL..because of GANDHIJI... 

WE WOULD HAVE GAINED INDEPENDENCE LIKE OUR NEIGHBORING COUNTRY HAD.. BUT OF NO USE...!!!!

GANDHIJI -A GOOD SON, A GOOD LEADER, A FREEDOM FIGHTER, A STATESMAN, A SAVIOUR

 I Love Him.....And I am proud to be an Indian because though we do not give importance to an order in bus stop BUT WE HAVE BEEN INTELLIGENT AND KIND ENOUGH to understand the message of NON-VIOLENCE from this old person called GANDHI...!!!!
