Gandhi at 2020 : Why Gandhi still matters to us?

On the night of 7th of June 1893, an Indian origin lawyer on the way to Pretoria was thrown out of the coach just for the colour of his skin. What happened next was one of the largest struggles for the mankind. It didn't only help India get the freedom from the British clutches but it did show the world that wars can be found without shedding a single drop of blood, truth can be pursued and that a human being, if he has the belief in self and a conviction, can change numerous lives.

'What makes Gandhiji a Mahatma?' is a question being asked since time immemorial and there are myriad answers to it. Still, even after nearly 75 years of his demise, it is the question most pondered over. 

In the day and age when the likes of Godse are adulated and it is almost blasphemous to even broach upon the topic of Gandhi, there are still hopes of ray that can save us from the acidic rain of man made vices. 

Untouchability is something that had been attached to our society for long and if English grammar permits me to put it this way, it still does. While it couldn't be entirely eradicated, Gandhi helped to the best possible extent to mix the people with the mainstream, in order to enable them have a decent profession and life. It is to be distinctly clarified here that the present caste based reservation has never been a brainchild of Gandhi and if seen with pruritanism, he was antithetical to it.

The pursuits undertaken today, at the very least, have a slightest of the hint of falsity or the sense of the self first over the others.What Gandhi taught us still incomprehensible for majority of us. To him, the pursuits aren't state functions as defined in thermodynamics, but are made of the processes and ideas on whose base they're formed. That is, the ways to reach the destination are as important as the destination. While the modern marketing theories won't countenance for the sheer lust of money, this truthfulness has to be the cornerstone of any pursuits. The concern for poorest of poor, as ascribed in the famous talisman still serves as the guiding light to all, if one has the conviction to take the road less travelled.

There has been a fashion in India to disparage Gandhi on each single occasion for no one likes the road of truth, inter alia the other impurities that they've inculcated into. The very fact that Gandhi still is to be insulted in India gives the answer that why he's a Mahatma and that why he still matters.
