M K Gandhi's 150th Birthday (02.10.2019)

‘What is religion? ', Gandhi asked of himself. Religion is not a package of beliefs, Nor a commercial brand or identity. Religion is Truth that lies in everyone, By which he's called to serve humanity. ‘What is nation? ', Gandhi asked of himself. Nation is not defined by language, creed, Or even place of birth and heritage. Nation is where a common humanity Must override political connection. ‘What is politics? ', Gandhi asked of himself. Politics is bred with disagreement. How to manage conflicts is much crucial. Nonviolence is the answer to conflicts. Conversion, not coercion, is remedy. ‘What is living? ', Gandhi asked of himself. Simplicity must be one's way of life. Relation between the underprivileged And the privileged must be cordial With compassion as priority. ‘What is India? ', let us ask of ourselves. Religion has been politicized. Nation has been creed and language based. Politics has been commercialized. Living suffers out of intolerance. 02.10.2019
