How interesting is it that a common man, probably a person next door, who lived, and died, more than 60 years ago continues to influence our lives even today. The times that he lived in were very different from the times we live in. He was fighting for the high ideal of freedom; his situation was different from ours. The name of that common man was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. We, today, are citizens of an independent nation that has been free from foreign yoke for almost 60 years now. We have the options & opportunities to indulge in whatever we want to.
