Gandhi Rememberance Day

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always."

Mahatma Gandhi

He left the world on Jan 30th, 1948 but his spirit lives on...

His ideals seem too idealistic and inapplicable in today's world. The Hindu extremist who couldn't identify with his ideals gunned him down 63 years ago.

Even today, the problems with India arising out of the great religious divide haven't ended.

But it's good to see it's great influence on influence makers themselves- Rev. Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and more recently US president Barack Obama.


He will always be regarded as one of the greats to walk this world.
