Relevance Of Mahatma Gandhi

A question always strikes in my mind, is Gandhiji relevant in today's world?. The answer is yes, people are running their shops on his name. His followers are rich enough. Their standard of living is high in society. They get respect everywhere in society. They deliver lectures in seminars. They get funds on his name and use it for their self development. There is nothing unethical in it. Because the life of the father of nation was dedicated for others. If his name provides livelihoods for a handful people, then it should not be a matter of dispute. Talent is worshiped everywhere. Those people who take advantage on his name are really talented. Otherwise everyone changes his Destiny on his name, but it is not seen. I was also a true follower of Gandhi ji. And despite being his follower i could not be a successful in life while my friends who are said to be his followers are ministers. They recite his mantras on every occasion, especially on 2 October. They remember his contribution in Indian national movement and social reforms. While I hardly get time to remember him. Because I am facing hardship in earning livelihoods. I will thank Gandhiji for providing employment for many people. I remember him on 2 October but with sad mind. Because i am not invited to deliver lecture on his live and contribution. I have many things to narrate about him. Despite being his true follower i lagged behind in life. In school days, i could not pass exam, because i followed his principle of truthfulness and did not adopt unfair means to pass the exam. The question still remains to be answered. What was my fault. I will be not selfish. I will not ask such questions. But i will like to say, Gandhi will be happy to see wealth of our leaders. Ghandhiji will be happy to see the growing numbers of poor. Gandhiji will be happy to see the tainted ministers and criminal back ground MPs. Gandhiji will be happy to see the incidents of rapes and loots. Gandhiji will be happy to see the discrimination with women. Gandhiji will be happy to see the farmers' sucuide. Gandhiji will be happy to see the skyrocketing price of essential commoddities.Gandhi ji will be happy to see the role of so-called intellectuals in society.
