Today very few students like history subject ( IT ka Jamana hai Bhai !! ), but we know History repeats itself one or other way….We need to take lessons from it to avoid mistakes in future.
India definitely need to learn from History.
I think Democracy is best and worst thing in India. and Also Gandhiji is best and worst person to born in India.
Our democracy doesn’t allow us to take such decisions as in case of Shivaji Maharaj only Maharaj were taking decision, but look at today’s situation in India where it takes days/months to take unanimous decision in countries favor. In that also some will be against it. Some authoritarian kind of ruling is required to take country forward ( Like Presently in Gujrat – Narendra Modi ).
Coming to Gandhiji, I agree with Sujan. If Lokmanya Tilak could have lived little more and such more leaders were there we could have got freedom much earlier. The Gift of “Ahinsa” from Gandhiji is coming in our way to tackle issues like Kashmir, Naxlities, Terrorism etc. We want to follow Gandhijis Marg, but at same time we forgot the way Shown by Lord Krishna. In Geeta he told this is Kalyug. Every thing is fair in War, and we are fighting a war against this issues. Dont give chance to enemy to rise his head, cut it. Lord Krishna himself Shishupal after forgiving 100 times to his mistakes, India is great than Lord Krishna to forgive Pak more than 100 times.
I feel we need to live in Kalyug and fight with our enemies, else which will lead to destruction of our country. Follow the path shown by Gods & History.
