Even now
Even now
Satya, ahimsa.
What Gandhiji taught years ago is still valuable in today's terms. His only weapons were truth and non- violence.
When a girl gets married, the only two weapons she carries are her truth and non- violence. She bears all adjustments, judgements, expectations, exceptions all beyond fault. Even if she comes to know about her husband's affair, she didn't go against but keeps quiet. She is expected to let it go and ignore.
What if she takes upon these principles. The way she used to talk to everyone in the family, now she was totally taken aback. His principles are now also powerful. She easily wins the battle with her own family with Gandhiji's principles.
And if you have to teach a teenager, then also the truth is the only qeapon he or she would listen to you. Its not only an external war but an internal going conflict too.
