I am not a historian
to analyze, and had I been one, I won't dare to put different leaders in a
scale who shaped the country. I think it's difficult to put them in a scale,
for there are so many different dimensions of their contributions. Be it Gandhi
with his non-violence, or Bose with his azad-hing-fauz, my deepest gratitude to
both of them, for they were genuine in one cause, and lived a life with a
single goal - let alone their approaches be different. There are galaxy of
leaders who played their role, whom we recognize, and read in history, and
there were so many who are lost in the oblivion, without whose support and
active sacrifice, we may not have such a life today.
Let's respect the
fore fathers, for their intent, action, sacrifice and glory, no matter which
ideology they belonged to. Let's be a constructive critic of their principles
and philosophies if that did not help the nation, and lets' do better, with a
genuine attempt to do better.
