Hm. Oh ah thing dea, a country steep tin ritual west spirituality is an integral part of life a to day politically charged. So good in the southern narrative, in which nationalism and hindu as a rule supreme and where hate speech and violence towards non hindus are on the rice. A nation plagued by poverty and dana quality. But with soaring ambitions, including the conquest about his space. With all this is india 75 years after independence, a country often cold, the Worlds Largest democracy, now home to almost 1400000000 people. Ah, a pivotal figure in the birth of modern india was mohandas. Karen chand gandy known as mahatma or great soul. A man Whose Campaign of non violent resistance helped free the country in 1947 from British Colonial rule. When gandhi had to fight the cotton empire, british, he did not take out camel. He pulled out a spinning and when he was asked, how do you think a few pieces of wood can bring you freedom .

Disco when dan, this is a gun, the philosophy lead, obvious you didnt believe in this philosophy has no respect. And you know, he does Everything Possible and eliminate the image of gandy from india. Gandhis sayings continue to provide inspiration the world over, but do his ideals still have meaning in the india of today . Ah, ah for millions of indian men and women, poverty is a trap with no prospect of escape. Thanks to the ancient cast system, it dates back some 3000 years and divides people from bus in a social hierarchy of forecasts, priests warriors, and rulers, merchants, and labourers.

Even when we talked to the administration, the dollars. You would all programs on health and sanitation, but you know, Domestic Violence is not such a big issue. This is part of the culture.
