A few shots of discussions on our Father of nation
Scene1:
Six future engineers chaffering uder the hazy ghaziabad sky.
Traditionally it started with movies,girls,career and then the waves of patriotism hit the walls of ribs arousing the names of freedom fighters.
Gandhji's name is popped out
Mr A- "India would have been free much before,if he wished."
Mr B- "He was responsible for the capital punishment of Bhagat singh."
Mr C- (with a C class exclamation literally)- "ayyash tha budhaa...!!"
Scene 2:
Three chaps on a bench trying to fight the kumbhkaran hours outside the emergency entry of AIIMS and a policeman sitting on a stretcher smoking bidi in NO smoking zone.
Chap 1- "I dont know who made him the father of nation."
Chap 2- "I even doubt his character."
Policeman(In a typical haryanwi accent)- "I heard his name and lost blood equal to a standard peg of wine."
The cop quits as he sees a bike with tripling.May be the illegal bucks he gets can be used to makeover the lost blood.A bottle of country wine costs less than Rs 100 i guess.
Be it a bench of activists on small town chai shop or brats sipping Irish coffee at premium coffee shops,Gandhiji's name at all the places is synonomous with abuses,lots of blames and creep perception..
Now lets not blame RSS and bhagwa brigades only for gradually instilling this ideology in the society to justify the heinous crime of Nathuraam Godse(a swam sewak).
What about the responsibility of enlightened citizens to explore and come up with opinions?.
Isn't every abuse on BAPU assaulting the dignity of every indian?
Isn't the acquiescence on these senseless talks absurd??
Okies....Whatever.....Nobody cares what he was....RIGHT..??
Unlike chinese,we Indians are blessed with the freedom of expression....lets not exploit it...!!
Lets not abuse,if we can't respect this revered personality..!!
Pass it on..
Incredible india.... Jai hind..!! Gandhi ji amar rahen!!
Thoughtfully written, bold and to the point. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteI Blog coz nobody listens otherwise........U Blog out of public demang......I Blog so that I can Brag......U Blog fr self satisfaction..........Two entirely different approaches......Bt 1 thing in common-
ReplyDelete"People Jst Think it,
While we Guys Ink it!".........
Yaa, you took up a very sensitive issue in your blog and I must say,wrote absolutely well!
ReplyDeleteIts not only about maligning Gandhiji's character,its about taking a potshot on every great personality. The cause of this habit is deeprooted in our culture. We are so fond of creating either demigods or satans out of our great leaders that we often tend to forget that they too were humans.
I mean every great leader, mind you when i say this, every great leader of this world had his shares of failures and weaknesses.Nevertheless, they still remain heroes and are adored by their countrymen but we Indians just can't accept our leaders with any weaknesses.
Do not forget what they did for our country, for our countrymen and keep your wagging nasty tongues in control!!!!!
arranging the thing very smartly...from very first line 'kabhi kahin.....'and till the whole article he is perfect with his thoughts and related very sharply...ok nw its very obvious topic to discuss ..which is chosen by Mr jafri..and ys i ws present in the scene 1 ...i ws sitting in the corner n listng when he ws thrwng his arrow in the favor of gandhiji ..he ws alone n all the guys r criticizing him but at last,,..the man who is perfect with his words won the battle..
ReplyDeletehe shows with his 'qalam' that he is 'aftaab'
keep it up ...luv yeahhh
what actually leads to such comments is the ignorance of people....these days...people are in a habit of blurting out whatevr comes in their mind...they don have ne idea about the topic...still every1 is jst tryng to prove his smartness...2 all those who are in a habit of mortifyng the great leaders n therefore themselves are requested to stop speaking nonsense n first find out the real truth behind n within.......especially this is wat is expcted 4m the youth.....
