Mahatma Gandhi - Not to be hated



This one is my favorite topic to discuss and debate upon – Mahatma Gandhi

First let me get one thing clarified – I don’t hate Mahatma Gandhi at all and neither do I hate Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Chandrashekar Azad and others who had their ways of fighting for our freedom.

I always think and feel confident that India wouldn’t have got its independence without Violence and Non Violence. If I love Mahatma Gandhi, that doesn’t mean without Bhagat Singh we would have been able to get our independence.

See first of all, little knowledge is dangerous. Many youngsters nowadays don't take much pain to go through deep study & research and quickly jump into the conclusion. They're just happy to indulge in layman's discussion. So you'll see that many Indians hate Gandhi while very few like him. Although they can't say the exact reason behind liking or disliking Gandhi, they only have one reason to back their statement and that is ---- > “Gandhi made Pakistan and Jawaharlal Nehru the Prime Minister of India”. --- Which is a RUBBISH statement to make!!

When I say that he DID NOT play the most important part in the making of Pakistan, I have a logical thinking to it. As far as the world knows he was the best example of Non Violence, Secularism and Patriotism. I can not and will never think that a man who was born in a rich family and a lawyer who studied in South Africa would give up his life for the country. He never had the aspiration of being the PM of India and neither did he ever hold a post which would benefit him politically, monetarily or personally.

He’s been and will be respected forever around the world and our own countrymen and especially the young generation hate him for stupid reasons. The biggest disrespect to Mahatma Gandhi is that the constitution of India has never declared and neither does it state that Mahatma Gandhi is the Father of India. --- WHAT A SHAME!!

Mahatma Gandhi is often praised as the man who defeated British imperialism with non-violent agitation. It is still a delicate and unfashionable thing to discuss his mistakes and failures, a criticism hitherto mostly confined to Communist and Hindutva publications. But at this distance in time, we shouldn’t be inhibited by a taboo on criticizing all the official and unofficial Indian Freedom Fighters.

BJP cannot afford to be complacent now

While many supporters of BJP are jubilant with State Elections results, let us sincerely hope that BJP would not be complacent under any circumstances.    In fact, as one close supporter mentioned to me they should work three times as hard.   He added, 'Are you kidding, never write off congress party'.  How true?  I only hope BJP cadre takes this to heart and work longer and harder. Should we be jubilant about the results and the real hope for change?   My question is why the country was put in this place first.   If the country had the same growth that BJP left it with in 2004, we would perhaps be running on par and even be ahead of China.   I recall how everything was booming, middle class growing; many NRIs were looking to settle back in India, the shining India.   Today, more people are being reduced to beggars, to depend on few kilos of rice and pulses the Government doles out for their livelihood. No where in the world's hist...

I as a recruiter hate to see such resumes

Connect with me on Linkedin Mail me - ljangada@qanalysts.com I as a recruiter hate to see such resumes. I’ve been working as a recruiter close to three years now and have worked on both VMS and Direct (Managed) Clients. I mostly work on Software requirements with main skills like Java, C, C++, C#, .Net, Flash, Ruby etc. We need speed and accuracy in finding resumes for VMS job orders and though speed is not a factor on Direct/Managed Job Orders, accuracy still plays an important role in both. Working on Software requirements, one has to learn the art of screening the right resumes before calling that candidate. The art of screening is a very important part for software job orders as there is a huge database of Non US Citizen and Non GC Holder resumes on the Job Boards. I can confidently state that out of every 10 resumes on a particular Job Board 7 to 8 resumes would be H1B Visa Holder resumes – which is fine :-). But my sole motive and thought behind putting ...

Beef Ban – My thoughts

Image
Beef Ban – My thoughts I knew Indian Government would Ban Beef and was waiting for it being implemented and when I switched on my TV today, I was happy to see the Ban in Maharashtra. I welcome #BeefBan for only one reason and that is “Cow is sacred to me and my fellow Hindus in India”. So now I am asking these questions to myself because I will be questioned the moment I publish these post. 1.        Am I being religious and happy my God wouldn’t be slaughtered anymore? 2.        Am I being communal and happy that my fellow Christian and Muslim friends would not be able to eat Beef anymore? 3.        Do I really care about other lives? Do I care about all the animals on this planet? Let me start by saying – I am not religious and I am definitely not communal. I don’t visit temples, I have never read “Geeta” (Hindu Holy Book), and I don’t know a single “Aarti” or a “Shlokha...
