Give this man some credit!

I hear so many people accusing Gandhiji of certain things that he did or of certain things that he didnt do but should have. That always makes me think that it really is very very hard to please everybody! If somebody like Gandhiji is not immuned to it, how much are we!

Lets not forget that he is the main reason for our country's independence. His ideas of non violence were completely revolutionary! Its human tendency to "Fight or Flight". And when we use the term "Fight", we usually refer to violence. But Gandhi demonstrated that we could fight with non violence too.

I am not saying that he was perfect! He might have done some mistakes but isnt it human nature to err sometimes if he really has. But he always had good intentions for the country, of that there is no doubt!

Lets be proud of the fact that somebody like Gandhiji was actually born in our country!

Dilaa di hamein azaadi, bina khadag bina daal;
Saabarmathi ke santh tune kar diya kamaal;
Raghupathi raaghava, Raaja Ram!!

Proud to be an Indian! :)
