GANDHI, CULURE AND WE
Fast-forward culture is lately becoming a trend; is it because we are aping media culture? I recollect that initially when I was fond of foreign clothes, my foreign friends used to adore my Indian ones. In what respect is one culture superior to the other? Our unique culture has ?love? as the essence of it. Otherwise, how could over 500 languages and 30 religions co-exist? Of course, keeping this in mind, there is to an extent a lot of peace. Gandhiji?s quote ?A nation?s culture resides in the hearts and souls of the people?, itself implies so much.
?To the society of what India is today, there is no greater balm than Gandhiji and his words. The more we read it, the more we get convinced as if GANDHI has foreseen all these.? This was T.N.Seshan?s assumption. ?Gandhiji was an intense nationalist; he was also at the same time, a man who felt he had a message not only for India but for the whole world.? This was Jawaharlal Nehru?s conviction. ?Generations to come ,it may be scarce believe that such a one as this in flesh and blood ever in flesh and blood walked upon the earth.? This was Albert Einstein?s prediction.
I heartily agree with all of them. Indeed, it does seem like a fairytale that such a person ever existed. We cannot all be Gandhis. But atleast we could try to become one. I would. I know there is no use of building castles in the air, since I have just understood his message. But as our former Miss Universe had said,? A man is not poor if he does not have a penny. He is poor if he does not have a dream. So to live he must have a dream.? And this is my dream which I hope to fulfill someday atleast in part, through practice. Yes, it is a dream; come let?s share the dream and make it real.
