I’m not sure why, but when I was growing up in India, I was always told that mahatma gandhi ka bachpan ka naam was a way to thank someone for something.
What I didn’t know at the time was how many other things I was being told were just a way to thank someone for something. In fact, I have no idea what the origin of this particular one is, but I do know that it’s a part of hundreds of the other, similar things I’ve been told are the reason I’m alive. To know that there are hundreds of such things is pretty amazing.
I find this statement to be pretty amazing, but I’m sure you’ll agree. In fact, I’m quite sure that there are hundreds of other ways to thank someone for something. But in this case, I believe you only need to thank gandhi for his life, and he’ll be happy just to be able to be happy after having spent his life thanking the world.
Thank you gandhi. I do wish you could have been here to see my mother die, but I know that if I would have known it was you, I would have been happy, I would have been thankful, and I would have been content. I don’t know how it happens, but you just did it.
As it turns out, “Mahatma Gandhi” is a really, really famous person. And his legacy is in everything from his philosophy of nonviolence to the way that he taught an entire generation about the power of nonviolent resistance. But “Gandhi” is also so much more than that. He was a man who spent his life in service to his country and to humanity at large.
When Gandhi was assassinated in 1930, his killer, V. D. Savarkar, was also charged with his murder. But that was only the beginning. Savarkar went on to become India’s most famous public enemy. He was involved in a long list of atrocities, many of which were committed by his men. He was also convicted of murdering three more people before the trial was abandoned.
Savarkar would go on to use this case as an opportunity to raise his profile, and create his own political party, which he called the Indian National Congress. It was at this time that he began his crusade to take over India. In India, he became known as the ‘Great Emancipator’ and the ‘Man Who Created a Nation’.
