Ihmo Mahatma Gandhi

I applaud him for his ideals, specially non-violence. Britishers beat him hard but he never retaliated back. His deep knowledge of ancient scriptures made him aware violence is bad. He knew however bad others maybe we should be good. He disapproved of partition. He warned leaders it would lead to major problems and it did. While other leaders celebrated independence he was busy helping masses like me and you. 31.07.2021 Syllables count 16 each line checked at PS Note: When India gained freedom, due to partition communal riots broke out. Gandhiji toured the nation telling all to stop fighting. When he was asked to join Independence day celebration, he replied how can I celebrate when many of my brothers and sisters are suffering. I find no reason to be happy. -- Source Google

A tribute to the Father of the Nation from the depth of the heart. In fact, I too am influenced by his life much more than his philosophy. The only thing is I am not able to be a simple person like him.
