Apropos the article ‘Wanted brand Gandhi’ (The Sunday Indian October 7, 2007) brought out the clear picture of the present
India, and its relevance towards Gandhi’s principles and thoughts. October 2nd become a routine affair that the so called
politicians preach their prepared messages and celebrate the day as a dry day and soon go back to square one. How sad it is to note that people of India so soon forgot or thrown back his ideals. Even in his own birth place he is an alien and the people miserably failed to follow his ideals and resort to riots and violence. The saddest story is that, his own family members, the so called grandsons are
selling his personal life stories for a few pennies. Top among is Mr.Rajmohan, (it is better to delete the noble surname ‘Gandhi’ from his name). His recent book brought out his grand father’s illicit relation relationship with a lady (hitherto unknown to public). Like wise a good number of so called gandhians (Politicians) are selling the ‘Apostle of peace’ for their monetary benefits. As the TSI edit bureau said it’s not far that the 2nd October too will slowly diminish from the celebration and memory.
