India, Oct. 2 -- Gandhi's statue in London has been vandalised-a stark reminder that in forsaking his values, humanity edges closer to violence, division, and chaos
In a popular satirical Hindi film "Lagae Raho Munna Bhai" Munna says, break every statue of Gandhi, remove his photos and do away with his name on streets; if you want to honour him, cherish his values, live by his ideals. This of course came from a character who himself was a gangster trying to Masquerade as a professor. But the message was still loud and clear, we need Gandhi's value even if you do not like him for non-violence, compassion and empathy cannot ever go out of fashion. But unfortunately the world is drifting away from these values.
Every year on October 2, India...
