2nd October 2018 is the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation.

His life entire life was full of struggles, inner and outside. On the one side he fought relentlessly, continued sustained struggles for Independence of the country from the British yoke. On the other side, he fought for inner purity and consciousness. In both he was successful at the end.

He fought for justice and equality to the underprivileged. He fought for a secular nation. The fight has to continue, since both are under threat.

Respectful Homage to Gandhiji on his 150th Birth Anniversary!

66 years back in 1948, it was on this day 30th January, that Gandhiji, the Father of the Nation, was shot dead by an assassin on the lawns of the Birla House, when he was going to offer prayers. It was a calculated murder intended to shut the voice of reason, the voice of the Hindu-Muslim unity, the communal harmony. The RSS could not tolerate the voice of sanity and for it this was the remedy.
The communal forces are still active as can be seen in Muzafarpur and other places where communal riots has taken place.
It is the duty of one and all to fight out this menace of communalism to ensure communal harmony in our dear country, where irrespective of religion, caste all can live like members of the same family.
We pay respectful homage to the memory of the Father of the Nation!

Though 43 eminent persons have been awarded with Bharat Ratna, the highest National Award, till now, while living or posthumously since its introduction in 1954, the greatest Indian, Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation, was not awarded the same. Why was Mahatmaji not awarded the greatest award of the country? It does not seem that the government may not have considered his name. There might be some reason behind the omission.

It is true that when the award was instituted in 1954, it was intended for living persons only and not posthumously. Hence Mahatma Gandhi could not be considered.But when the rules changed and the same was awarded posthumously, why Mahatmaji was not given? Is it that the Mahatma was a person far above the grant of such an award? Or is it that , Mahatmaji has stated some time that such award need not be given to him. It is also to be known whether any Prime Minister has recommended and if so why it was not given.Some explanations should come from the Government to satisfy the common people.

Yes, 2nd October 2013 is the 144th Birthday Anniversary of the Father of Indian Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. 2nd October has been declared as a National Holiday by the government along with that of Independence Day (15th August) and Republic Day (26th January).

Gandhiji led the Independence movement for decades. The Indian people in lakhs and crores participated in the struggle and India got freedom on 15th August 1947. The struggle for Independence from the British imperialists is a heroic saga of sacrifice, struggle, failure and victory for about two centuries. The First War of Independence (1857-58) was the starting point, but there were struggles and wars earlier also against the British.

Gandhiji experimented with truth throughout his life. But what about the present day? Many politicians of the day are experimenting not with truth, but with corruption, deceit and violence.
