gandhigiri

i agree with mr.rao that in these days gandhism is not applicable. but its a great weapon.

we have to find the good from anything and leave the bad. mahatma gandhi and netaji both fought for freedom in different ways but the goal is one. so i think gandhigiri or gandhism these are the ways to improve our character.

Well, Gandhism is now-a-days called as Gandhigiri becoz of a certain Indian movie called "Lage Raho Munnabhai". In this movie the protagonist named Munna (played by Sanjay Dutt) says a dialogue which means "Now I will not fight you, I will do Gandhigiri". This movie was very sucessful at the box office and also is very popular among the Indian population. And since the movie uses this particular word, Gandhism has been re-invented as Gandhigiri. I actually dont understand what was meant by the words "Gandhism is not applicable in today's times but is a very useful weapon" in a response I read in this thread. If Gandhigiri (Gandhism) is not applicable, then how is it going to be a weapon?? Personally I feel that Gandhigiri (I prefer calling it that) is very relevant in today's times, but it is also important to understand the context in which you want to use Gandhigiri. I mean if I say I dont earn enough and Gandhigiri is not helping me when it should, then I am an absolute idiot, because Gandhigiri was never meant to do that. The primary implementation of Gandhigiri was to fight injustice and unfair practices (of the British on the Indians) and for the Independence of India. I firmly believe that if understood in the right context Gandhigiri can surely be implemented for the betterment of society (not one's own self, by the way)!!

I'd say Britishers had several reasons to quit India . They didnt fought against Mahathma Gandhi alone ... while leaving India , Britishers have divided the country into two . Gandhi could not stop it ...

yes really its a great weapon against all weapons
