Gandhi and his martyrdom

I wanted to write something on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on 30^th January 2015, but I had nothing new to write. Today when I contemplated why there is a rise in the admirers of Nathuram Godse, I got some answers.

We are basically turning into a nation of angry people. We are looking for a garbage bin, a dump yard, a punching bag to unravel the filth inside ourselves. We are angry because we have not done anything significant for our family, our friends, and our society and least of all to our nation. Now to correct that mistake, we start bashing and who could have been a better punching bag than Mahatma Gandhi himself.

His satyagrah was based on “Love Force”; that one should hate the sin and not the sinner. But why would in the 21^st century you would not hate the sinner?

So we have now both the camps of haters: 1. who hate Mahatma Gandhi 2. Who hate Godse.

Unfortunately the second camp people feel that they are the ones who love Gandhi and try to dig out anger from within to shower that on Godse, completely forgetting the fact that Gandhi asked to forgive his murderer precisely for this fact as he did not wanted people to be angry at someone who killed him because he did not know the right path.

All these angry people are sick from inside. They need healing and only then they can heal the reason of their anger, if any.
