I am glad you are writing about Mahamatma, a legend. Hope people remember his values and inculcate them in the young generation.Inner Visionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816184787443689865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11511615.post-48268878480331296382009-03-08T16:19:00.000+05:302009-03-08T16:19:00.000+05:30Sigh... it did not have to be like this...

I am sure with the right approach India could have got them without all this "mess".. <BR/><BR/>and now Mallya can make hearts merrier by pouring more "spirit" and they in turn can get poorer while he and his mentors gets richer and scout for more "magnanimous" acts....<BR/><BR/>We continue to forget Gandhiji...Happy Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406399936808407736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11511615.post-29899760085655881102009-03-07T09:15:00.000+05:302009-03-07T09:15:00.000+05:30The latest twist in this poll-itical drama is Ambi...The latest twist in this poll-itical drama is Ambika Soni's claim that Mallya was selected to bid on the items (Rediff) while Mallya has clarified that he acted on his own and bought the items(The Hindu).

Children born in Independent India don't know the hardship we faced under the British yoke.<BR/><BR/>Recently I saw in the news papers severe neglect to several Gandhi statues. This speaks amply for the great reverence shown by the authorities to Gandhi. Children are learning from all this neglect and forming an opinion about Gandhi. I hope all the write ups in the news papers will give them the incentive to know more about Gandhi, his achievements and what he did for us.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for sharing all this interesting information.<BR/><BR/>Have a good day :)Joseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11511615.post-56562589771993916802009-03-06T18:07:00.000+05:302009-03-06T18:07:00.000+05:30Swarna.

Personally I feel it is more important for people and the Indian government to follow Gandhi's principles - simplicity , peace and non-violence, as you said it - than worry about owning his sparse material possessions. They are priceless, no doubt, and will be so, no matter who owns them. Let us look for the true legacy Gandhi left behind, and try to follow/possess it.RAJI MUTHUKRISHNANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767924355822361427noreply@blogger.com
