A liquor baron bought Gandhi's five personal items which went under the hammer in New York for USD 1.8 million
Seriously?? India’s leaders think we need his five belongings… the nation of his dreams today rubbishes his ideology , that it so desperately needs… and its his physical possessions that we need???
Today violence occurs and erupts in this nation on most mundane events… From lyrics of a song to a road accident to petty criminals caught by public…everything gives a reason for mob frenzy…
The caste divide he fought is today stoned by laws that force caste based reservation. No body pays heed on his vocational oriented education. In fact today Indian education system not only failed its citizens by not equipping them to easily get all kind of jobs but also fail to build rationalism. The education system imparts mere literacy and not education. The effect is that petty politicians like Raj Thackrey find new ways to divide country.
Women empowerment, economic self-reliance, easing poverty, simple living and many other of his ideologies are all so relevant to India, buy are pushed under the carpet by power hungry politician … and all they feel a sense of achievement in getting his five simple assets …
But for those who can even use Lord Ram as an excuse to kill for political gains …Gandhi was just a sane voice..…

Whats the use of preserving Gandhiji's spectacles when we have lost sight of his Vision !
Maybe we are too good at hypocrisy-induced crimes. Hypocriminals(!)
Sab maya hai; aaj hai kal nahin parson phir hai.

good views..but practically we vent our thoughts thru blogger but how much of vision do you think we (people commenting on barrons) have or these ideologies do we practise..the mallaya did this for hype..well u discussing him..his money is well spent...:)
(NOM...just random thoughts..)
Hey Swati...
Its not the Mallya and likes we shud bother about ... but common people.
They have been the real strength...and its their insensitivity and intolerance we should worry about…
Today we have the spectacles; Tomorrow we will have the vision!
HOPE!
At least the money was not spent to throw a lavish party - well that is a positive sign! :)
