"The Story of my Experiments with Truth", Gandhi's three monkeys have been reduced to just three emojis

                                                                                                                                                                    

 As India is celebrating its 70^th Republic Day on January 26, the spotlight in on Father of the Nation. All 22 tableaux that will roll down Raj-path this year will have Mahatma Gandhi as the theme, a fitting tribute to the man in the year we celebrate his 150^th birth anniversary.

Today, however, these monkeys are been using as the emojis to convey feelings of embarrassment, shyness, anger, and yes, no comment, please! 

In this epoch of social media the quintessence of Mahatma Gandhi lurks in every corner. From memes and gifs, to eulogies on Twitter only one hashtag #Gandhi can evokes multiple emotions and sparks heated debates.

India implies peacefulness and Peace, It won't not be right in the event that we state we are India since we had Bapu. Yet, I do have question on that.... 

Particularly in twentieth century there were obviously two WW however there were additionally numerous other dangerous littler wars and we can't overlook that there were massacres as well. Be that as it may, a standout amongst the most momentous and regularly unnoticed part of the this time is the quantity of harmony, peacefulness and hostile to war developments. Yet, what makes this age novel is that Gandhi wasn't one of a kind. There was in reality huge number of harmony and peacefulness development that were happening all around the globe. 

Leo Tolstoy, who knew a smidgen about harmony and war investigated how Jesus' message to cite "accept punishment silently" was the premise on the life of peacefulness.

In 1908 tolstoy wrote  "A letter to Hindu" to gandhi and in this he explained that Indians need to confront British imperialism with love and nonviolence. Gandhi not only read this but also published it in South African newspaper "Indian Opinion" in 1909. Tolstoy wasn't the only influence on Bapu, he grown up in Gujarat region there was a sizable Jain community and through the Jain mobks Gandhi was exposed to Ahimsha , non violence and no-injury to life. He also read widely western writer like John Ruskin and Henry David Thoreau.

So after his returning to India he began to distill his thinking in a more explicit philosophy.

Yes, it is important to abstain ourselves from pampering into non-violence activities but is being dormant or quiescent to these activities or ignorance of wrong doing a tenable solution?

In the time of #MeToo, it is not enough to not sexually harass a person; it’s equally important to speak up against acts of injustice and harassment in any form. Silence only empowers and encourages the wrongdoer to continue.

Yet, if one were to ask if the father of my nation is relevant today, my answer would be more grey, less black and white. For I believe that his teachings, like today’s technology, need to be adapted and updated to the challenges and aspirations of today’s generation. Practicality, and not philosophy, is the need of the hour.

You can love him, hate him or can be indifferent but you can't deny his role in building the India of today.
