National Holiday

Mahatma Gandhi was born 143 years ago today, and he taught us how to fight for independence from foreign rule. He is the Father of our Nation.All schools and colleges observed a National Holiday, youth are aware of his values. His life, his principles and quotes from his writings are remembered by all. Even today his ideals are relevant.He is still our role model, he wanted to reform society but he was selfless and did not seek power. His values of simplicity, compassion and love for humanity are timeless.Good Indian families teach their children hard work patience, silent protest, love for ones country and its people. Unfortunately, many of us start worshipping his idol and forget his teachings. Many of the misled do not give hardworking people dignity which they deserve; instead, we give respect only to the wealthy. We are in perpetual crisis because we live on values of falsehood and pursue materialism.Our country has grown very very big since Gandhi's times. We live in an age of web networks, which is very very big too;we should become more knowledgeable. We have hope that the young people of India will remember his values and bring about a more just society in the future.
