Many people world over love him. Some people in his own country hate him. Those who once hated him now use him for their own political benefits. Some say he was a showman. Some say he was the new age messiah of peace. Whatever he was, there is one thing that nobody can deny. When the whole of this country needed a leader so badly – a leader who could bring the people of diverse languages and cultures in India under one roof and lead them together in a fight against colonialism – there was no one else, but Mohandas Gandhi.
He is truly missed not just on this 141st birthday of his, but through the entirety of the independent India.
