Its always been seen and heard that our elders complain that today's Youth think differently . They complain that the mindsets of the younger generation has changed . And well , as a matter of fact , its true ! Youngistaani's today tend to think differently , almost totally different from the thoughts of the past . And well , i say this with what i've observed rather than some mere thoughts of mine .
.
And the best way to support my thoughts is by the example of Adolf Hitler . The Nazi ruler who's is known for his order of the vast elimination of the Jews and his strict ways . People had touted him as the unwelcomed ruler and hated his thinking and ways . But Youth Today have a completely different way of thinking . I've met many people in my college and my neighbourhood who adore Hitler . Its not that they support his harsh ways but they like the way he had his Power over an entire country . People today dont believe in ruling for a longer period and doing average work . Rather , they prefer a rule which makes a larger impact and that too in a short span of time .
.
This may not be for the entire Youth but people's mindset are changing . I know that out of 10 people , 6 would surely select Hitler instead of Mahatma if they were asked to choose a person whose control over power they would like . Its not that they dont respect Mahatama Gandhi but they have their way of thinking . Surprisingly , i myself would have chosen The Nazi Ruler !
.
Hilter got power and respect out of sheer fear..though he was always appreciated and spoken high off on the face..behind his back people used to fear him and they would fear if they show that on face they might have to face the worst of things. On the other hand, Gandhiji had his own charm he not only liberated the country and gave it peace n sanity but also earned himself a dignity and respect with loads to love and admiration to go along with.So I dont think 6 out 10 will go in to support someone who was no better than a ruthless being and who cared about no one paring himself and wanted his rule all over .. Least I definitely and strongly will remain in favour of Gandhiji
Hmm, the question is about power and who doesn’t like power? Even the most vociferous opponents of dictatorship, secretly hunger for power. Let’s face it; it’s too difficult to be a real democrat. Even the thoughts out here are more about my rights and other’s rights, no absolute right and wrong. I am sure in every phase of history as is the wont of every historian who undoubtedly is likely to be prejudiced by his or her upbringing and social circumstances, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Fidel Castro etc would be re-evaluated with some conclusions being that they were right from their viewpoint.
Now let us assume that we decide on a dictatorship/monarchy. We sure will be lucky if we get a great ruler. But what if we are unlucky? What if we get a cruel ruler like Mugabe or Idi Amin? Is it possible to overthrow them? No, we will have to bear with them till they die.
Again for those who ask for dictatorship a question would be who will you choose and how will you choose someone as a Dictator? Would you want an election for a dictator or would you rather he come up on his own? What is the guarantee that he will not screw up the country? However, in a democracy, people at least have a chance to vote out the party they dislike. If we feel that our present democracy is no great shakes, then remember the “ Jago Rae” ad, and blame ourselves for that ! the old adage “ Yadha Raja Tadha Praja” has been turned on its head now to “ Yadha Praja Tadha Raja”.
The historical lesson to be learned, if at all, from the very survival of this "unnatural" nation is that we do not essentially need tangible or well defined entities, or ideologies to survive as a nation. August 15th 1947 was an experiment and it produced better results than the conditions which the RSS's or western intellectual's arguments for a governance would have fetched. Even today, with a long way to go, on hindsight, essentially no one (wo)man rule, however benevolent she or he be, or however ideologically correct (according to whom, is another question), will be able to address the concerns of this "unnatural" nation, with more diversities than unities. We don't need any hard mould symbols to be imposed as Indianism; any such act , to my mind, should be termed barbarism.
Indian strength to stay as a nation comes from the acceptance of its diversities (in form and thoughts). Personally, I do not believe a single person rule (in whatever form) will ever be able to address India’s concerns in totality. To quote Shashi Taroor - "India’s asset is that it was never a melting pot but a thali — an assortment of dishes served together in separate bowls that nonetheless combine to please the palate."
No doubt, a Hitler or a Stalin might be able to increase the national production level by five folds, or if interested, bring people above the poverty level, impose strict standards of discipline etc, but never can a dictator create a sustainable nation and society.
This can sound bit diplomatic but do consider it once.
.
I was never against the democracy but somehow I was never with it either. I got to learn this very thing from a film only, here in India; we collect TAXES, which is used by the Indian government for various Social, Economic, Scientific and Militarily operations. Now, here in India only, we got some people who are below the poverty line and lives in some slum areas in various low profile huts. Now to get rid of this slum, Indian government provides them well constructed houses in some society which is actually constructed from the taxes which we pay to the government. Now what actually happens is most of them leave those houses and give it to some tenants on rent to earn some money for their livelihood and lay down another low profile shelter in some another slum. Now can anyone tell me, why in the world this is happening especially when taking over government place is completely illegal and is a capacious crime? The same government who is providing them houses can also stop them from renting it to anyone else and in that process help them get some job instead of just letting them stay on their fate again. Totally waste of the taxes what we pay.
.
There are many such instances which I can quote where, Indian government has lacked a lot and has actually turned out to be a big disaster. Why we got corruption? Because, we got diversity in our rulers. Now, you will ask why I brought Indian government in between. That’s because that shows, dictatorship is far better then democracy BUT only when we know the right leader who can solely make the way out of each and every problem and could make a statement in the outer world. Hitler, definitely was one of them and to be frank, if we keep aside all the cruel intentions of his, his thinking about his country was far more impressive.
not saying Gandhi ji’s rule was wrong. He was the main guy behind the India’s independence but somewhere he is the guy behind the death of Bhagat singh and many other freedom fighters who could have achieved the same but in their own way, which might have helped in strengthening the power of India as well.
I dont have any issues with the mindset of the youth changing, but hope its brought about by logic and reason.
Has the youth's mindset really changed and , if yes , is this change really welcomed ??
.
The masmerising effect of Gandhiji's life and policies had an impact not only in India but various other parts of world also. Here are few people who have followed Gandhiji's way and later known as Gandhiji in their respective places. They all followed Gandhiji's method of non-violence to achieve their aims.

DR.APJ SAYINGS:
Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work"
- A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
(Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam).
Dr. Kalam is one of the most distinguished scientists of India with the unique honour of receiving honorary doctorates from 30 universities and institutions. He has been awarded the coveted civilian awards - Padma Bhushan (1981) and Padma Vibhushan (1990) and the highest civilian award Bharat Ratna (1997). He is a recipient of several other awards and Fellow of many professional institutions.
Dr. Kalam became the 11th President of India on 25th July 2002. His focus is on transforming India into a developed nation by 2020.
"When you wish upon a star, Makes no difference who you are, Anything your heart desires, will come true...", Kalam said in his farewell address to the nation.
"This poem is true for all of us, and particularly for our youth and if they aim great, I am sure they will reach close to the target or the target ".
" Success does not come in a day" , these are the few words that great leaders like our beloved president Abdul Kalam believed in when he started off with small steps, today the Indian Space Research Organisation stands with all its majesty as a symbol of the belief by a few inspired Indian Minds like Abdul Kalam. We being the forerunners of our ancestors hold this responsibility to carry the same message with us for the glory of this beautiful nation " India ".
In his speech after assuming the office of President of India on 25th July 2002, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam made the following statement:
"If youth have to sing the song of India, India should become a developed country which is free from poverty, illiteracy and un-employment and is buoyant with economic prosperity, national security and internal harmony. To create this transformation we all have to resolve ourselves to work and sweat for the national development."
He was merely putting forth the vision and resolve he has shown over the years to help India become a strong and secure country, slowly but surely.
Born on 15 October 1931 at Dhanushkodi in the Rameswaram district of Tamil Nadu, Dr Kalam’s father had to rent boats out to fishermen to pay this genius’ school fees. He received secondary education at the Schwartz School, a missionary institute in Ramanathapuram, and later joined the St. Joseph’s College at Tiruchirapalli, where he graduated with a Bachelor in Science. He went on to study Aeronautica.
A BRIEF HISTORY:
APJ Abdul Kalam was born in 1931 in a middle-class family in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, a town well-known for its Hindu shrines. His mother tongue is Tamil. His father, a devout Muslim, owned boats which he rented out to local fishermen and was a good friend of Hindu religious leaders and the school teachers at Rameshwaram. APJ Abdul Kalam mentions in his biography that to support his studies, he started his career as a newspaper vendor. This was also told in the book, A Boy and His Dream: Three Stories from the Childhood of Abdul Kalam by Vinita Krishna. The house Kalam was born in can still be found on the Mosque street at Rameswaram, and his brother's curio shop abuts it. This has become a point-of-call for tourists who seek out the place. Kalam grew up in an intimate relationship with nature, and he says in Wings of Fire that he never could imagine that water could be so powerful a destroying force as that he witnessed when he was six. That was in 1934 when a cyclonic storm swept away the Pamban bridge .
"The trouble with Indians was not that they
lacked educational opportunities or industrial
infrastructure - the trouble was in their
failure to discriminate between disciplines
and to rationalise their choices," .
A developed India by 2020, or even earlier, is not a dream. It need not be a mere vision in the minds of many Indians. It is a mission we can all take up - and succeed." - A P J Abdul Kalam.

"PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN"
"Nation is greater than an individual"

If there is a determination to achieve a goal,man will always succeed.
I believe is not only a means of recognition but also source of self respect--giving a person an individual recognition...
If u believe your self then u can do anything in this world means nothing is impossible for u & the world is in ur hand.

Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam is the undisputed father of India's missile program. He has breathed life into ballistic missiles like the Agni and Prithvi,it is too exhausting to track Dr Abdul Kalam's achievements to date. By the '90s Kalam emerged as the czar of Indian science and technology and was awarded the BHARAT RATNA.
Kalam's advice to the youngsters of the nation is to "DREAM,DREAM,AND DREAM AND CONVERT THESE INTO THOUGHTS AND LATER INTO ACTIONS."

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in the town of Porbander in the state of what is now Gujarat on 2 October 1869.
The last few months of Gandhi's life were to be spent mainly in the capital city of Delhi. There he divided his time between the 'Bhangi colony', where the sweepers and the lowest of the low stayed, and Birla House, the residence of one of the wealthiest men in India and one of the benefactors of Gandhi's ashrams.
Because of our father of nation ""mahatma Gandhi"" we got our freedom....
Gandhi ji was raised in a very conservative family that had affiliations with the ruling family of Kathiawad. He was educated in law at University College, London. In 1891, after having been admitted to the British bar, Gandhi returned to India and attempted to establish a law practice in Bombay, without much success. Two years later an Indian firm with interests in South Africa retained him as legal adviser in its office in Durban. Arriving in Durban, Gandhi found himself treated as a member of an inferior race. He was appalled at the widespread denial of civil liberties and political rights to Indian immigrants to South Africa. He threw himself into the struggle for elementary rights for indian.
Mahatma Gandhi-the greatest Indian ever to
live.He was a man who by his own courage and
conviction and his principle of non-violence
freed India from colonialism.
His belief in non-violence is still the very
foundation of Indian state and Nation.Gandhi dedicated his life to the wider purpose of discovering truth, or Satya. He tried to achieve this by learning from his own mistakes and conducting experiments on himself. He called his autobiography "The Story of My Experiments With Truth".
The Indian people called Gandhiji 'Mahatma', meaning Great Soul. At the age of 13 Gandhi married Kasturba, a girl the same age. Their parents arranged the marriage. The Gandhis had four children. Gandhi studied law in London and returned to India in 1891 to practice. In 1893 he took on a one-year contract to do legal work in South Africa.
At the time the British controlled South Africa. When he attempted to claim his rights as a British subject he was abused, and soon saw that all Indians suffered similar treatment. Gandhi stayed in South Africa for 21 years working to secure rights for Indian people.
He developed a method of action based upon the principles of courage, nonviolence and truth.
"Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
- MAHATMA GANDHI.
Gandhiji’s life was dedicated to the ideals of Truth, Non-violence and Love. ... It was neither wealth nor power that made Gandhiji so famous. ...Mahatma Gandhi was a simple man, with simple tastes and high values. Respecting that, even though Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday, the festivities are minimal.
Mahatma Gandhi was unquestionably a great man, both in personal force and in political effect. He moulded the character of the struggle for freedom in India, and impressed his own ideals upon the new governing class that came into power when the English went home. There is, at the present day, a general awakening throughout Asia, but the spirit and policy of India, thanks largely to Gandhi, remains very different from that of any other Asiatic country.
Gandhi, like some other great men, developed slowly: Quite extraordinary psychological acumen would have been necessary to discern his future in the shy youth who studied law, first in India and then in England. His autobiography contains a picture of him as he was in his early days in England, and there is nothing in it to suggest the future loincloth; on the contrary, his costume is faultlessly correct and would pass inspection by the "Tailor and Cutter" without any criticism.
Mahatma Gandhi was really a super hero and a great personality. Without his strong support n dedication, you think, can we live such free n happy life? but the young generation is forgetting his fight for truth he fought for you people to give you the gift of INDEPENDANT INDIA. This is my kind effort to take the HERO again in light.
"I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life." Mahatma Gandhi.
If you face any problems in life, that seems permanent; take time to think, everything has a solution. If you feel it appears beyond your limits, do write it down. Someone might have the answer......

Social Service Team who held the teachings and disciplines of Father of our Nation "MAHATMA GANDHI". The workers of this foundation trying to spread the teachings of Gandhiji.
This foundation also interested in charitable works also. This foundation will fight aganist the disrespect to National Flag, National Anthem, National Song and all other.
MAHATMA GANDHI -THE LEGEND
THE BRITISH WERE unable to control the situation in India which was steadily becoming worse. Famine and disorder had sapped the foundations of imperial prestige. Britain emerged from the war victorious but physically exhausted and morally sober. The general elections of 1945 returned Labour to power and Mr. Attlee, the British Prime Minister, unwilling to lose India altogether by persisting in the Churchillian policy of blood and iron, promised "an early realization of self Government in India." In the meanwhile, elections were to be held and a Constituent Assembly convened to frame a constitution for a united India. A Cabinet Mission arrived from England to discuss with Indian leaders the future shape of a free and united India, but failed to bring the Congress and Muslims together. Having encouraged Muslims separatism the British were now unable to control it,
On August 12, 1946, the Viceroy invited Jawaharlal Nehru to form an interim government. Jinnah declared a "Direct Action Day" in Bengal.
Now a days the foundation is trying to fight aganist the disrespect to Mahatma Gandhi and the great War of Indian Independence.
Ahimsa means not to injure any creature by thought, word or deed, not even to the supposed advantage of this creature.Truth is my religion and ahimsa is the only way of its realisation.I do not envisage God other than truth and non-violence. If you have accepted the doctrine of ahimsa without a full realization of its implications, you are at liberty to repudiate it. I believe in confessing one's mistakes and correcting them. Such confession strengthens one and purifies the soul. Ahimsa calls for the strength and courage to suffer without retaliation, to receive blows without returning any.
these are some great thoughts of a person who changed our world through love and ahimsa he must be remebered for his contribution to society.

MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI-
India's great politician who had d major hand in freeing india he waz short,wore spectacles was thin,had a latthi in his hand or a stick in his hand and wore dhoti and kurta
he didnt had any physical power but he had an enormous mental power dat was of non-violence
the power of truth,the power of people and the power of non-violence
he was also "THE FATHER OF INDIA".
Whenever we mention the name of India to a foreigner the first thing that jumps to their mind would be Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma means great soul . Gandhi earned that title by fighting the mighty British empire through the means of Ahimsa or Non Violence. This novel concept of war brought one of the greatest empires in the modern world to its knees. This is why Mahatma Gandhi is admired as one of the greatest personalities of the modern world ! By peaceful means he lead India to its independence from British rule in 1947.
The Making Of The Mahatma :
One day Gandhi was traveling in a first class compartment of a train with a valid ticket and was thrown out, at Pietermaritzburg. This was a turning point in the life of Gandhi and the making of the Mahatma.
From this political awakening Gandhi was to emerge as the leader of the Indian community in South Africa. It was in South Africa that he first coined the term 'satyagraha' to signify his theory and practice of non-violent resistance.
