Mahatma Gandhi believed in simplicity every way- food, clothes and other activities. so he liked simple food.  simplicity is no doubt good for physical and financial health.  But what suited Gandhi may not suit others.  I take wine some times and often take meat. Naturall, I can't be Gandhian so far as eating is concerned. 

Suitability is something connected with personal likes and choices. Since The life style and food Mahatma Gandhi ate suited him he has preferred simple food. Mahatma Gandhi stresses not only  on simplicity but also in setting an example himself by following his principles. Hence the lesson is, though not like Mahatma Gandhi one can stick to simplicity as much as possible within his means.

It is a fallacy to state that food shapes human consciousness. Some of the worst communal riots have happened in states that are predominantly vegetarian. Taking wine is not at all unGandhian. Mr Ajmani enjoy your drink perhaps it helps you to think better.

True. If one likes or not the simple life system followed by Mahatma Gandhi, one is at liberty to choose his own way. Maintaining simplicity helps in  economic point of view too. Gandhi's philosophy stresses on this aspect also.

In these days of commercialism Gandhian ways may come in way of attaining high GDP growth rates. Consumption is the new mantra for economic development.

No great man can be completely followed. Pt Nehru was best disciple of Gandhi but he had to deviate from Gandhi.  Gandhi would prefer small cottage industries only.  He was totally against consumption of liqueur. I am tempted to refer to a current movement in Agra  that is led by Ninety years old Gandhian Chiman Lal Jain.  He threatened to drown himself in the river (Jal Samadhi) if liqueur is not banned. The police made house arrest and prevented him from Jal Samadhi. Now he is threatening to set fire on liqueur shops on 30th January. Following Gandhi ji in such way is definitely ridiculous and a threat to public order and peace. No doubt there may be physical and social harm of alcoholic drinks but prohibition is not just and proper. There is alternative way of mass campaign to educate people against the harm of alcohol and persuade them not to consume such drinks.  

I agree with you. It's not essential to anybody's preaching hundred percent in totality . Have role model. But you have to cultivate your own ways convenient which are practical and suited to  the current times. Chanakya's political lessons are good during his times. But may not suit to the present times.

How long will such Gandhians blackmail the system to impose their moral values on others. Everyone has a right to lead their life the way they want, only it should not cause problem to others. GANDHI HIMSELF DID NOT IMPOSE HIS LIFESTYLE ON OTHERS BUT HIS DIE HARD FOLLOWERS USE HIS FAME AND NAME TO DO SO ON OTHERS.

Yes. Gandhi himself did not impose anything on any body. The article mentioned about Gandhi's way of life and his food habits. You answered your question. That the die hard followers distorted and mutilated Gandhi's practices. You have the liberty to accept or reject.

But why does the STATE have to bow down to these diehard characters ?
