Mahatma Gandhi is well worshiped as father of the nation for his rigidity towards independence through Ahinsa. His concept of freedom was very broad because the vision he had during the country’s struggle for freedom was that of ‘all round growth of the society, irrespective of caste, creed and religion’.
As per his words”INDEPENDENCE OF MY CONCEPTION”means nothing less than the realisation of the “KINGDOM OF GOD” or “RAMRAJYA” within you and on this earth”
Bapu always thought and worked to bring rule of truth, justice, honesty, transparency, equality, non-violence and brotherhood. He always guided to respect all the religions equally and make India a secular country. Everyone should be free to practice his/her religion but discrimination based on religion and/or caste should not be a consequence of it so that national brotherhood is not compromised and our nation can always remain united for its all round growth
Today we are a free country but somehow we don’t have the independence what Bapu had thought about.
Undoubtedly,India has progressed remarkably in the past 66 years we are not able to say confidently that we have a RAMRAJYA.
There is still lack of truth and justice, lack of honesty and transparency. We are also facing religion based disturbances which in many times happen due to political benefits which is shameful.
Overall the country has grown economically but huge portion of this country is still fighting for food and dying of hunger.
In an overall picture we are standing far away from the independence which was included in Bapu's vision. If we really mean to respect his leadership, honesty and visions then we must devote ourself towards building of an independent nation as ourBAPU WISHED.
