The significance of the fact that I was stepping out of my home to join the #BharatJodoYatra on #GandhiJayanti was not lost on me. I have been worried for some time now, on how, as citizens we have let down the Mahatma whom we best know now only as the face on currency notes. 1/ 
Was my participation in the #BharatJodoYatra a simple matter of walking with others on a city street? No. The Yatra was not passing through Bengaluru, so I needed to take a train instead, to Mysuru. My daughter decided to accompany me, with her son. We reached that afternoon. 2/
The first sight that met our eyes was the @INCIndia office just outside Mysuru station. By the time we reached our hotel, we had seen autos with loudspeakers inviting people from Mysuru to a public meeting that evening, and the #BharatJodoYatra the next day. 3/
On the eve of #GandhiJayanti , I am settling into my own assessment of his contribution and importance.
This thread is a reflection of my own assessment based on what I have read about Gandhi - through his own writings and others.
Will begin with Positives & then Negatives.

1. His understanding of the Indian past. Among the few who had no inferiority about the Tradition.
- Actively defended the Kula-Jati-Varna aspect of the Society
- Held the Indian Kings in great esteem.
- Understand the functional mechanics of the society, spoke its language

2. His understanding of Modernity and its evil dimension.
Hind Swaraj is the most scathing criticism of Modernity ever. May not contain complex abstract nouns, models, theories, hypothesis.
But represents fundamental issues of Modernity in a way all can understand.

"My Hinduism teaches me to respect all religions. In this lies the secret of Ram Rajya. " - Mahatma Gandhi. #GandhiJayanti 1
For Mahatma Gandhi, Ram was an embodiment of human virtues. Gandhi believed that Maryada Purushottam Ram was a selfless king who always thought in the best interests of his people. #GandhiJayanti 2
Mahatma Gandhi had a vision of Ram Rajya for a true democracy and post-independence India. A social order that is based on the principles of honesty, commitment and highest standards of integrity. Where justice and equality prevail for all sections of the society

Just imagine how those millions who had given sacrifices for "Swaraj" would have felt. And to rub salt into their wounds, Gandhi said that "Indians were not yet ready for independence." would you believe him? if even if he believed it to be a horrible deed,

On 30 January 1948, three bullets fired by #NathuramGodse claimed the life of #MahatmaGandhi as he was walking to his prayer meeting at the Birla House in #NewDelhi. However, even before that fateful day, there were multiple attempts to assassinate Gandhi.
In 1897, Gandhi was assaulted by a mob of Europeans in Natal. He was attacked by a group of Pathans in South Africa (February 1908). In 1914, some Muslims were upset that clauses in a bill that formalized the Gandhi-General Smuts agreement had denied polygamy, which amounted to

इतिहासाची पुस्तके गांधींनी खिलाफत चळवळीला समर्थन का दिले हे सिद्ध करण्याचा प्रयत्न करतात. गांधींनी केलेली ही सर्वात वाईट चूक होती कारण यामुळे मुस्लिमांसाठी नवीन राष्ट्राची पायाभरणी झाली. (2/14)
खिलाफत चळवळीला भारतीय नेत्यांनी दिलेला पाठिंबा हा एक धक्का होता जो कदाचित भारत कधीच सावरणार नाही. गांधींना वाटले की भारतीय मुस्लिम राष्ट्रीय चळवळीत सामील होतील जर हिंदूंनी इस्लामिक खिलाफतच्या त्यांच्या मागणीचे समर्थन केले. (3/14)

History of Gandhi in India starts from the year 1915 but I will start from the year 1900 Boer war and he was in SA as assistant superintendent of the Indian volunteer stretcher-bearer corps.

The comments to this article show the frightening lack of financial literacy+ awareness in India. DHFL FD Investors are still clueless about resolution!! How does one tackle this? @MoneylifeIndia has reported this relentlessly & these are our readers! moneylife.in/article/dhfl-f…

Gandhi is definitely not above criticism and blame.
Yet, says @arvindneela, in the grand canvas of history, he explored means to assert an assimilative Hindu identity when the Hindu nation was being attacked by proselytising forces.

#Ghandi vio en el fútbol una herramienta para concientizar al pueblo de la necesidad de combatir de forma pacífica por la igualdad de derechos y por las injusticias del sistema de castas.
En Sudáfrica fundó 3 equipos de fútbol (en Durbin, Pretoria y Johannesburgo), en dónde buscó aplicar su pensamiento. A todos les puso el nombre de "Resistentes pasivos".

We also launched a film on Google Toilet Locator. GTL is a useful application particularly for people on the move. It allows them to find the nearest Swachh public toilet.
Today, on #GandhiJayanti, I will be in Ahmedabad for a special Swachh Bharat Diwas Programme on the banks of the Sabarmati. During the programme, we would recognise the commendable work of several Swachhagrahis who have worked round the clock to fulfil Gandhi Ji’s dream.
From Ahmedabad, a city closely associated with beloved Bapu, we will showcase our efforts towards creating a Swachh Bharat and derive strength to continue working on the tenets shown by Gandhi Ji. We will be lauding those involved in plastic waste cleaning Shramdan. #Gandhi150
In Ahmedabad, I will pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi at the Sabarmati Ashram.
