Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi was after all a human being and as such would have made mistakes in life. But the work he has done for India far outweighs any mistake done knowingly or unknowingly. Many people during his life and after have tried desperately to belittle him for their own selfish motives.
Reading a letter questioning Gandhi’s past in this paper last week reminded me about Indian television news channels, where trivial stories are highlighted to discredit individuals. Currently Mr Modi is under their radar and all the good work done by individual is ignored. This kind of defamation can only be mentality of people seeking cheap publicity.
