Is Gandhism-New Brand in the making???

Is Gandhism, the new brand in following?? How many of us know Mahatma Gandhi in true sense, or is he just another freedom fighter for us????

Or is it the Bollywood Saga of Munnabhai and his Gandhigiri which reminds us about this dhoti clad guy with a stick in his hand, who preached about three monkeys??

Do we all agree to the Gandhian Philosophy? Does the so called Liberal and Young India, associate itself to Ganghigiri?? This would be a topic to debate for most of us. We all have forgotten Mahatma Gandhi, and most of the freedom fighters for that matter.....But hats off to Mr. Hirani, Director of Munnabhia II, who tried to revive Gandhian philosophy all over again, may be with a bit of tadka to it!!, but i think thats the way, or be the best way to comprehend to the newer generation.

But my question still remains unanswered, whether Gandhigiri is the new brand in the making?? again a topic for debate, but i believe, it is indeed a new brand which is catching up with the newer India.

Todays generation are slowly creeping towards the Gandhian philosophy of non-violence, trust in God, no defeatism, harmony etc. But I think, the Youth today, are far more responsible and intelligent enough to decide the level of acceptance of Gandhigiri, do you remember the famous scene form Lage Raho Munnabhai, where Lucky Singh sends his guard to shoo Munna away, and when says the famous dialogue, "Gandhiji jeene yeh toh nahin bataya ki agar koi dussere gal pe bhi marega toh kya karne ka???"....Thats what i meant, Youth today understands where to draw a line, when its too much...and how much is too much.

So kudos to new brand-"Gandhigiri"

This blog written by lakshmi speaks a lot in a true sense about the Vibrant n confident Breed of new indians , but we need to make an effort to make india better from the grass root level , if we can manage to hit the write noe then nuthhin like it ..u need to have your basics right...my comments would be a bit off track ..but every opinion Differs

on my way to PUNE.i still remember that morning very vividly when i got off the aIRPORT at 7 in the morning to see pune waking up from a rainy nite wid charcoal black roads n an overcast sky wid green,bright green trees at the backdrop. that was love at first sight. though i was not expecting the same serene scene at anywhere in this world the feeling of falling in love again was very much there. but alas nothing like that happened. probably it happens when u get off a train from a second class bogey on a railway station withou ticketa ticket n then u bribe the tc ...to get off of feeling ashamed this things only happens majorly in india ...evend the tc earn in lakhs i guess, filled with stench of urine of all animals social and unsocial to make things worse ..corruption SUCKS BIG TIME OVAAAA.....but really well written blog ....with a bit of SPELLING mISTAKES :)...but gr8 subject to post ur Comments ...kudos !!!!
