Groping at Gandhi Ashram
Posted by Jerry on 10:36 - February 19, 2008
I have to say it was very comforting to read the news about a foreign tourist being molested by drunk youngsters at the Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad, in the morning paper. Ironically they were viewing the photographs of the Indian freedom struggle when they found found themselves struggling for their dignity.
Well what happened was totally against Gandhi’s dreams and what followed was violence. One of the youngster damaged Gandhi’s photos and was later beaten up(castration could have been better), the pther escaped. No complaint was lodged keeping in mind the sanctity of the place.
Is Gandhism dead? Doesn’t his principles and teachings hold no value any more? Was He just meant to liberate us from the British Raj so that we could freely molest our women? Why is Indian Youth forgetting that they are the pillars or the country?Is bad parenting to blame?
He dreamt of an India safe for women, and what did we finally deliver? Strip teasing women in public and marry off couples in public(thanks to Bajrang Dal the whooping marriage cost is avoided). Celebrating Gandhi Jayanthi would be more insulting now.
Ask anyone if Gandhi’s teaching hold any value and 90% will say Yes. But does it really? Ask yourself…

This is indeed a sad tale Jerry. I am shocked that no complaint was lodged.

There’s nothing to worry. The behavior of two drunken *(*&( doesnt say where country is heading. The response from others say where the country is headed to. People reacted to the situation. The act was stopped immediately. The guy who was caught got his punishment. And I am sure the officials of the ashram would have offered all their support to the victim.
Why wasnt it reported. Atleast one of the offender got what he deserves (probably other guys share too). If its reported to, the uniformed criminals will start their torure and the travel plans of those poor tourists will go for a toss completely. Now since atleast one of the culprit got what he deserves, why should they drag themselves into trouble ?
