GANDHI GIRI
Mahatma Gandhi was against alcohol and violence. Recently there has been lots of controversy in his name.
Many foreigners and people in India (mostly uneducated ones) think that the Gandhi family which is ruling the country for so many years are related to Bapu Gandhi.
Many of the new generation who did not know him, suddenly started taking interest in him and his writings after the release of David Attenborough film “GANDHI”.
Some film stars also took his name as “Gandhi Giri’ and wanted to become famous, so much so that they wanted to become a politician and rule the country, who knows they may change their surname to Gandhi?
But the most annoying thing is, every third or fourth year some one says he has the original articles of Mahatma Gandhi, we do not know how many dozens of specks, chapels, dhoti etc the father of the nation had?
This way some people have sold the duplicate paintings and articles of famous people for millions of dollars.
Gandhi never would have agreed for the auction of his left over articles to a person who sells alcohol in India. Why this US based gentleman did not return those articles by sea or air when Mahatma was alive? We do not know, these are all controversial and contentious issues.
