Failures of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

He is known as the Father of the Nation, he taught the masses the power of Satyagraha and enunciated the principle of Ahimsa. He inspired leaders like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King who in turn liberated Millions of their ilk from slavery and apartheid. But what he failed to do was to leave progenies who are worth carrying his last name. It is a duty of every citizen of this world and each one of the countries to leave behind Sons and Daughters who in turn are good citizens and he failed miserably in that crucial task. All he left behind was a bunch of no-gooders who still survive, no scavenge, on his own life and still worse his death.

The latest such attempt is by his Grandson Tushar Gandhi through the book "Let's kill Gandhi". Tushar in his book is quoted as saying that the Brahmins wanted to kill Gandhi because they wanted to maintain their leadership on the hindu community. The Grandson of the Mahatma has swooped so low that the only common thread that he can see in all the killers is just that, a thread. They are all males so a similar extrapolation would result in all males wanted to kill Gandhi because he was women's rights. Or he could have as well said that Pune-ites wanted to kill Gandhi or gone a bit more and said Mahrattas wanted to kill Gandhi but all these won't cause ruckus and sell his book.

Mr.Gandhi, I am very sad to say this but the stinging truth is that while you may be a mahatma your offsprings are just plain scumbags.
