Guest Hiten. Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If it shocks some ( understandably )' date=' perhaps BlueBrigade and Holysmoke can confirm - here is a link [url']http://www.siasat.com/english/news/hindu-family-observes-ramzan-fast-14-years Read 2nd comment - see how its used, you obviously won't find these things on the net but its very very common Why did they use his name? How/What can I confirm bhai ? @ the link you posted: I don't think anyone can stop anyone from fasting for Navratra or Ramadan because it is clearly up to the person who chooses to do so (of course with the right intentions and the way it is suppose to be done).

Shane Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 ^^ "Ch0du Bhagat Singh" Yes, have heard that many a times, I have no clue why they use it, Infact it struck me only when you pointed it out. Edit: Memory Refreshed. The slang was "Ch0du Bhagat", heard them very often on the sports field, especially in case of a self-destructiive event i.e an own goal.

Temujin Khaghan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I dont adhere to Gandhiji's views. But I think he is one of the bravest men in the world. Braver than all the kings and emperors before him. It doent take ordinary guts to take on the most powerful empire in the world - through ahimsa. my great-grandfather was a freedom fighter and a follower of Gandhiji :isalute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doent take ordinary guts to take on the most powerful empire in the world - through ahimsa. my great-grandfather was a freedom fighter and a follower of Gandhiji :isalute: That's right. I agree with you. Non-violence can be practiced by the brave only. However, not everyone is as brave as Gandhi was. There is a very fine line between non-violence and cowardice. Non-violence, as Gandhi practiced it, is when you are capable of violent protests, but chose not to do it because you believe it's not the right way. After his death, most people have practiced cowardice. Also non-violence is a concept easy to understand but difficult to realize. Gandhi led a nation into independence where people did not understand the value of independence as it did not come with visible sacrifices. It looked more like a gift from the British rather than something we claimed or took from them as a deserving right. As a result, we became formally independent, but mentally we remained servants still. The inferiority complex remains till date. It will take a few more generations before we get over that. Non-violence works for great individuals who understand it. Hardly works for the masses, especially in the long run. I still believe that Gandhi should not have opposed Subhash Chandra Bose or Bhagat Singh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapioca Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Not a great fan of him' date=' but respect him for whatever little he did to gain the [b']respect all over the world. If you go NortH India, You will see many congress supporters AKA the ghandians.. But if you ask many of them, Bhagat Singh is the name which people have most respect for in North Indian regions of Delhi, Punjab, Haryana etc. I think the difference is that you can find people like Bhagat Singh in the history of almost every country. Even we have similar figures of various magnitudes - like Chandrasekhar Azad or Udham Singh or several Bengali revolutionaries. But Gandhi's achievements are pretty much unique in all history.

Temujin Khaghan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 @Dom I think ahimsa is a very complicated topic. Because as you said, if it is adhered to properly then you will most probably achieve what you set out for. But if it wrongly followed or done without a fully conscious effort then it will end up in disaster and the practitioner will be labelled as a coward, like in the Nehru-Mao episode. according to me ahimsa should be used as the first step, to avoid an imminent war and suffering for both the parties. That is the enemy needs to be given a chance to rethink his stance. According to me if the enemy persists doing damage to you and your country, then there is only one way to deal with it - by force and strategy.
