Many great persons have influenced the world and changed the flow of time with their great thoughts and personality. It is not possible for anyone to portray the life and achievements of a man like –  “Mahatma Gandhi” To try to do it is to try to hold the world in the palm. He was a prince of truth and the emissary of peace. He was not just a man or a superman but a rare phenomenon that the world may witness once in a millennium. There were people who called him a magician that hypnotized the people, a mystic who tried to impress the image of God upon the faces of brides, a soldier who fought with the weapons of a saint. He was certainly one of the History’s amazing paradoxes. Although a Hindu, he believed in a religion which is the essence of all the religious beliefs that is  “Humanity” . He converted his personal anger into national anger and finally with this, the marvel of all weapons, he drove the English out of India. Politics was in his blood, although in his...

India, for than a couple of decades has been fervently waiting for a strong and sincere leadership and on the fortunate day of 16 April, 2014, India got another incarnation of  Mahatma Gandhi , an embodiment of discreet ‘Bhartiya’ values,  Mr. Narendra Damodar Modi . But what is known is his passionate approach and his idealist policies that will surely bring a contemporary and an emerging India out of the dark scenario. It is also significant to highlight that the world is enchanting,  ‘Namo-Namo’  not just because he is visiting the foreign nations, yes, because he is capable of standing on his words. He has initiated  “Jana Dhana Yojana”  which has successfully been pursed with near about more than 32 Crores A/Cs being opened which has mobilized and channelized the amount of investment which was earlier merely locked in the piggy banks of rural houses.
