We Indians ars facing a big trouble due to some kind of misconception or misunderstanding of a certains group of people.

I am talking about the terrorism that is victimising  the highly developing places of India, i.e. Karnataka and Gujarat.

As most of us know, terrorism is a problem, not faced by just one nation, this is a haman-planned calamity that prevails in almost all corners of the world.

In my view, and also said my a leading Gujarati daily ‘Divya Bhaskar’, “non-violence” and “satyagrah” are the two keys to solve this problem. These are the two weapons which could melt the hearts of all kinds of human beings.

Yes, we know it is not easy to be Gandhi, but we have got a model - and we just have to follow it. Think of the person named Mohandas who carved his own path and lead the whole nation called INDIA!

Today I have searched out a video from a movie on Gandhiji in which Gandhiji’s ideas on non-violence are filmed. I am sure everyone would be able to spare a few moments to learn the thoughts of that great soul and spread it all across.

Watch the video and write what you believe.
