Why
is, if some foreigner comes to India, he is brought to Rajghat, not to Birla
Bhawan where Mahatma Gandhi had passed his last days and was killed by a maniac
man?
The answer is that in modern India,
Rajghat is a such symbol of peace that has no face of past while Birla Bhawan
forces us to gaze with the history struggle of freedom fighting which have the
Gandhi’s killing. This is a question today why Gandhi had been killed?
Gandhi was killed because the
communal forces for the religious purpose afraid of him. The forces of making radical statue of Bharat
Mata, the divisive forces on the basis of communal identification of
nationalism concept -- all remained always bothered. Gandhi, by disobeying to
the rituals of religion, searched the meaning... and some in such manner that
the religious approach could be followed and that meaning could be followed
too... and that politics could stand to what could make new country and new
society.
Gandhi’s religious approach was
phobia free; his hindutva, remained always undoubtful. He always saved symbol
Rama and Gita from the clutch of communal forces and gave him new and
humanitarian meaning; his god never rely on untouchability, but it penalised
those forces as a face of earthquack, who relied on it. Ahead of this regious
approach, the living forces on the name religion and the rioting communal forces on the name of
Nation -- all got themselves frustrated.
Godse, a man, was a symbol of frustration, who had killed a religious
Gandhi, not secular Nehru nor communal Zinnah.
But in all respect Gandhi never die
– it is rooted verse which is told in the support of every thought while in
recent we look at we find that the world today learn much more from Gandhi. How
much he might have been conventional, he has been proved much of post-modern.
He constructs vowel of faith against arguementism in our century. The issues of
our time seem conceived in the womb of his concept. Whether it is the issue of
humanright, or of the cultural plurality or of invironment – all look like tied
with the cotton string created from Gandhi’s wheel.
Gandhi writes an ideal sentence
against the bottomless consumption: this earth can fulfill the need of all, but
it is small prey before a greedy fellow. His concept of Gram Swarajya against
the globlisation seems an option of lonely political-economic instead of own
limits. It is a twinkling of humanity infront the dazzling light of market
where we can identify our gentle values.
