A Tribute to Father of Nation.

Lets pay tribute to a wonderful man whom without we as a country will never exist today but instead of many indipendent nations.He joined the freedom struggles of each region of this country and our neghbouring countries which were taking place at different scales in every kingdom and region into a pan-indian or should i say greater indian freedom struggle.Even after india got independence when the remaining parts of india that joined later like Goa were still being occupied by foreign occupiers ,it was his followers-as he died due to an unfortunate event by unfortunate people -who joined with the freedom fighter of goa to help us gain our freedom. Gandhi ji as true saint was a human and not supernatural as most expect him to be. He not only helped unify the greater India freedom movement into a truly pan-indian movement but also set the ball rolling by providing inspiration to leaders elsewhere in the world like the Great "Martin Luther King Juior"
and the Great "Nelson Mandela ". his principles are worth knowing about for becoming a better human being.
