Gandhigiri

Lage Raho Munnabhai seems to have transformed Mafia Don Babloo Srivatsava. Srivatsava who was extradited from Singapore in 1990s for extortion, kidnapping & killing offered flowers to the Police on his way to the court.

He said 'Gandhism is the best way to spread peace'.
He says he would soon start a political outfit. The Mafia Don - Politician tradition lives on. Just hope he has truly transformed.
Another instance of Gandhigiri was a flowery attempt against the district administration who cancel the permission of Gandhigri activists. While the additional district magistrate Baranwal initially granted permission wit was however canceled; tThe drama unfolded when 100 kgs of flowers were sent to the house of Baranwal.
Wow, have you heard that before. Wonder what are his plans with those flowers.

Gandhi seems to be cool these days. There is a multifold increase in the sale of Gandhi books, T-shirts have come with 'The contemporary Gandhi' has become fashion and what not. Whether you feel Gandhigiri is a publicity/marketing gimmick or not its spreading the message of Gandhi. Its spoken in the US Parliament, spoken on the streets of London, everywhere people are looking up to the man who changed so much without using force.
Now you won't just see Gandhi on Govt. offices or currencies but may also be able to experience it. All these coming on heels on his 137th Birth Anniversary.
Wondering how Gandhism will work in these times; think again. Remember Gandhi too was a deep thinker and he thought his way out of every situation to reach his goal.
