Indian soul

I visited again the place where Mahatma Gandhi was burnt. Gandhi, called Mahatma (that means big soul) was who led the country to the independence in 1947. And he did it in a pacific and an alternative way. He fought against injustices and specially tried to help the “dalits”, who was the poorest and most marginalized group in the Indian society. In 1945 the British Party realized that the Indian independence was a reality impossible to stop. Gandhi, that little but charismatic man, stimulated Indian people to boycott the British products and protested against injustices doing hunger strikes. In 1948 Mahatma Gandhi was killed by radical Hindu people, who never understood his pacifist philosophy.

Raj Ghat is a big park in the middle of Delhi, next to the Yamuna River, and there, in a black marble platform, a constant fire lights reminding him. Hundreds of people visit every day the place. Most of them just to take some pictures there but some people do it to remind and to revere the soul of their country.
