Mahatma Gandhi is the most revered, non controversial political figure of India .His popularity spans across Nations where he is publicly honoured by raising his monuments . He is rightly called the father of Nations and as the mark of respect his image is embossed on Indian currency notes. He is called the Apostle of peace who brought down the mighty British Empire by resorting to non violence..He has admitted influence of reading Bible .Subhas Chadra Bose was opposed to him by use of military force. to achieve same goals.He advocated the emancipation of Harijans and was of the view that progress must touch the last men in India .His idea of basic Education has not been taken seriously and also filip to cottage industry . He has been accused of Dividing the Nation and allotting their share of resources.Even after creating Pakistan.the blood bath that followed on either side of the divide is unimaginable ..It was unfortunate that a harmless person was murdered by a fanatic with adherence to a particular ideology and uttered his last breadth with HE RAM .It is a sad commentary and shame that his assassin is glorified , adored by devoting a temple in his honour.Till date Pakistan being separate Nation is constantly at war with India and imagine the consequences if it was to remain as united India.The ideas and principles which he propagated are not adhered to in spirit. The concept of celebrating his memory associated with cleanliess day does not elevate him .Whatever happened to the movement of swatch Bharat for which enormous funds are being raised.Mahatma Ghandhi was honest in needlessly experimenting with truth at an advance age after embracing celibacy.He largely ignored the impact and feelings of his wife in his decision Indians and history will always reserve a high place of honour for his freedom struggle devoid of position and power as a reward Nelson LopesChinchinim. .
