Mahatma Gandhi Still Relevant...What do u think?

(Sorry. my English is not good. I am learning)
Mahatma Gandhi....Our Father of nation....Is his thought is still relevant? In India it’s now a fashion to raise question on Mahatma Gandhi. Some of them raise question on his status as Father of Nation......But Interesting thing is that most of them never read anything written by Gandhi ....It's really funny. I read Bapu’s book Hind Swaraj, written in 1909/10..i meet there 1909's Bapu. First I was stunned. Mahatma Gandhi was against rail, machine at that time. First I thought that book is written by a person who was not aware of his future role. Later when I realized at that moment may be he was right. I thought may be in future Bapu’s thought changed. But Bapu never change his thoughts. He changed nothing in the any version of book, which reprint in his life many time. Then I realized he was not against the modernizations. He was against the madness behind these things. His thoughts are 100yrs old now. But still nothing change, still we are running behind the western module. Sometime Nature play very funny thing with you. Or u can say that great personalities always behave differently in odd situations. Mahatma was against the western module of development. But his political successor (Vinoba Bhave was Bapu’s spiritual successor) Nehru was very found of Western module. Village is in the centre of Mahatma’s thoughts. He told that first give the work in the hand of people, relate education with work, trained them. Convert village into self dependent unit. But what his followers did? Today there is huge demand of skilled worker/labors. But most of the people are unskilled. Bapu Always invited Nehru for discussion. But Nehru avoids it. His thinking was that first thing is Independence, till then everything could wait. ..... It was also Nehru's biggest mistake.... (Like Kashmir Problem). No doubt Nehru was a great leader. But dependent on the west module for everything is not suitable for Indian culture. We can take work culture form west. But it's not means that if one thing is god for American farmer then it's too good for Indian farmer...............So still Mahatma Gandhi thoughts is relevant. yaa may be with some diffrence, but basic is same.


What is your thinking friends?
