Gandhi:An idiosyncratic Human

M.K Gandhi, the man of words, who is recognised as " Mahatama" , meaning- the great soul, was not so. He was actually much more a human.

He had his beliefs, opinions and desires for this world just like any other human.Just the difference is that he never dread to make mistakes and never worried to accept them. He always learnt from his mistakes and made a promise not to repeat those.
Just like any other human being he made many mistakes in life but always accepted it and made a point to not repeat them.
This quality of Gandhi make him distinct to others.
The truth is that he practiced what he learnt from this world but we humans don't follow the values which this mother nature teaches us.
He was honest to himself, family and country as well.
He was the man of principles, values and regards. He was the person to tell right to what is right and feasible for others.

He was the preacher of truth and non violence. He saw the entire world as one.

He followed only one religion i.e of humanity and brotherhood. He had high regards for every religion and saw the core idea of each as same.

He was great time saviour and knew every second is crucial. Being a lawyer he never liked his profession and fellowmates. Because according to him it only exploited the poor and weaker sections.

He was against Railway and other technological developments because he knew very well the physical strength given by God to human beings.
He believed that  these developments will ruine the human nature.

He supported and was a firm believer of rural development. He promoted indigenous products and textile. As he saw the country's progress in rural growth.
Which is very true in today's world in case of India.

Many critics have called him as being conservative, but a person who intensely loved and respected the diverse culture of India why wouldn't worry when his own countryman disregard their prestigious and unique culture, accepting the western culture.

It's an irony that what he criticized about English and British during preindependence  and the civilization they brought, is excessively being practiced in his own country, by his own countryman.

It's a harsh reality that the mother India gave birth to such a person but his existence has become only a story, his principles and beliefs is limited to books which no one or his young generation wants to read.
It's certain that if we could explore this person and his visions for india we would be able to solve every issue our country is facing today. But it's sad that the person who is worship around the world is disregarded in his own motherland.
