Gandhiji’s name etched in the history of independent India, writes Mohan Bhagwat
Hindustan TimesPoojya Mahatma Gandhi is prominent among luminaries whose names are etched in the history of modern and rising Independent Bharat, a glorious chapter in its eternal and epochal journey. Watch: ‘When the light went out of our lives’: Looking back at Gandhi’s killing Gandhiji was well aware of the detrimental impact of the slavish mentality, which was borne out of dependency. In such a situation, Gandhiji’s endeavour to give a new thought based on our own identity to all spheres of human life was a successful experiment. On Gandhiji’s demise, Albert Einstein said: “Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth.” Gandhiji placed his life before us as an example through his pure conduct and thought. Sangh swayamsevaks recite it every morning and recall Gandhiji’s life of the above-mentioned values.
