President Obama revers and remembers Gandhi on the even of his birth anniversary.
and i am wondering how many of us really think about him or his ideals .. do we really want to remember him with reverence?
we are moving from being a developing to a affluent society and luxury and capitalism are in . India talks of affluence today and enjoying your earning by splurging on consumerism while America remembers Gandhi and his ideals. our youngsters are discovering 'open-mindedness' and rights to be themselves and not care a damn attitude. Most of us today have very strong opinions about us Indians and we know very little about Americans. On the contrary Americans know a lot about us and are wanting to learn traditional Indian cultural values as the way ahead.
1960 s
America basks in the glory of Capitalism and the land of hope with the big American Dream. there is Luxury and splurging in consumerism as the latest fad. the youngsters discover and build the free sex generation with a heavy input of drugs and hippie culture .Indians shun America for its capitalist ways and the cultural values and we try to preach Indian cultural values to America as the way ahead.
suddenly in the 60s a civil rights movement is born in America but is not noticed. Indians have strong opinions about Americans.
so now do we want to think and ponder on the questions :-
What does it mean to be in a flow.. and why is the flow of success so dangerous?
and
what leads to clarity at the end of the day ? a skeptical start or a confirmed bias?
...good day on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Just to add info Mahatma never thought it was "unclean" to clean and lal bahadur shastri on his foreign visits used to stay with ambassadors and cook his own meals to save foreign currency for the country as he was basically still a humble farmer.
