Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi: The man who still inspires masses
He did not have any intriguing principles like any great philosopher or leader; he had very simple goals and perspective of humbleness and honesty.
A WHITE clad man with a slight stoop being balanced by a stalk wearing khadi, round spectacles and a very simple dhoti which could barely cover this body was M K Gandhi. India’s freedom can only be bequeathed to the Father of the Nation, as he was lovingly called. Gandhian philosophy still holds true in today’s fast-rack world. He followed very simple principles of life which were truth, honesty and simplicity.
 
He did not have any intriguing principles like any great philosopher or leader; he had very simple goals and perspective of humbleness and honesty. Such ethics as he said might not bear fruits right at that moment but they pay one later. History has revealed that honesty is the best policy though it many not profit you at that time. By speaking truth and following the golden path of honesty, one gets inner peace and contentment though not any pecuniary gain which is very immaterial.
 
Only because of his principles, he was able to set India free from the clasp of the British. One man had the power of many. He was and still ensues to be the epitome of a perfect Indian. He focused on self sufficiency so that no Indian would beg at the mercy of the so called superior white men. Being a proud Indian, he called for abolishing untouchability. Because of Gandhi ji our society experienced revolution.
 
Burning of foreign cloth and rebellion against the British helped India to gain the present situation. Now he’s been dead for about 62 years. His presence is felt in every part of the country. Physically he might not be present yet he remains in our hearts and continues to inspire each one of us.

What we want is his blessings, so that hatred is completely eliminated and our country resides in tranquility. His thoughts about the environment in those days were also very interesting as he said, “Nature is enough for everybody’s need but not for anybody’s greed.” Seeing the harm we have caused to the Earth, we now realize what he said was absolutely true. Apart from social causes and environment, he supported Indian industries. He was against mass production and wanted it to replace it with production by masses to ensure full employment.

 
If he were alive today, he would have first cried over the present situation of death and destruction, secondly be sad to see the youth disrespecting their own language and customs and thirdly would have led India to a better path of success.

Many successful and thought provoking movies have been made on the iron willed man, which are again very inspirational.
