Remembering the Mahatma

More than 50 years after his passing, Gandhi’s views still continue to influence India as well as the world. Turning the pages of ‘The Hindu’ last Saturday, found a picture of the Japanese PM holding on to a banner listing the ‘Seven Social Sins’ as told by the Mahatma in ‘Young India’. The list here :

Politics without Principle

Wealth without Work

Pleasure without Conscience

Knowledge without Character

Commerce without Morality

Science without Humanity

Worship without Sacrifice

Have some vague remembrances of reading the great man’s autobiography a few years ago. Coming across such news makes me want to read more of this great man & his teachings.
