SAM RAO BLOG OCT 2: MAHATMA GANDHI's BIRTHDAY
This Day to be celebrated and Remembered as Seems more relevant everyday- to at least absorb Some of the message of NonViolence and Peace!NONVIOLENCE & PEACE DAY Too bad even within the Indian Community esp in USA there is hardly a ripple on recognizing and celebrating this legacy of Gandhi- which is Non violence, Peace and Tolerance- inspired by ancient Indian Heritage and Civilazational values. (None of the self syled torch bearers of the Indian community are really doing anything with a priority and motivated effort!...Here I am talking abt the "leaders who celebrate with Festivals and Modern Songs and Dance of India ant a drop of a hat and Celebrate "Bollywood" Movie actresses etc- These type people & organizations)!! With mere "pop culture" being recognized and celebrated - and that too a MERE Mimicing of Westernized youth Hip Hop Culture by kids ; the wonderful lessons of an ancient Civilization of India AND the Legacies - which have resulted ie Nonviolence, Peace, and given rise to people like Gandhi and subsequent teachings etc - are lost. Esp. as even the landed 1st generation Indian-Americans doing very little to inclucate and promote such values of Peace, Nonviolence and Tolerance in the youth If you look around- especially in USA -except for prayer meeting in couple of Temples- hardly any of the"Community Organizations" are doing any activity on Gandhi The folks who ARE celebrating are too far in between. And Here's wishing THEM & Saluting THEM today- - and to announce "Every Day is a DAY OF NON VIOLENCE & PEACE" (SR) " Be the Change That You wish to Be"- MK Gandhi ACTION ITEMS TO DO Lets follow this saying and Do Something Positive
