100 Non-Violence - A Cowardice or a Peaceful War ? -a poem

 == 

Hello everyone-

Today is a celebration of  Gandhi Jayanti

Let's talk about his non-violent ideology.

     [1]

Non-violence or Ahimsa 

What does it mean?

Refusing to fight?

         or

 bow down on our knees?

What do you think?

       [2]

  People say-

 To choose the path of Ahimsa was cowardice

Rather, 'to face blows head-on'

 

 was a timid caprice.

     [3]

  But Gandhi Ji's ideology was-  

   Hatred is fatal for nationalism

   Violence gives us only 'Violent Freedom.'

   “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”

    Even the deaf---

    Even the deaf can hear if we are kind.

    [ 4]

 When two stones are rubbed, there is friction 

When a matchstick strikes, there is a fire eruption

When people clash 

It creates long- term reactions.

When people clash 

It creates long- term reactions.

   [ 5]

Violence can be the mightiest weapon, 

 But 100%; it leads to destruction

 Now it is up to you, guys!

   Whether you want destruction and ruination

 Whether you want destruction and ruination

           or

    Erection and protection.

or

    Erection and protection.

         Thank you very much.

 ================================================================ caprice means: An impulsive desire or sudden notion.

    [1]

Hatred is not essential for nationalism

Violence will give you the 'Violent Freedom.'

“An eye for an eye

only ends up making 

the whole world blind”

    [4]

The blindness snatches optimal wisdom.

Further, it will snatch your peace and freedom

So whenever you are confronted with your opponent

Conquer him with love, he said, to embolden.

               Thanks!

              History-

During Non-Co-operation Movement

When  protesters were bashed up,

 In retaliation, demonstrators 

Set fire to a police station

Non-violent Bapu Ji sat with a broken heart

Appalled at this act, went on a day fast

Was it timorousness on Gandhi's part?

No, certainly not-----------------------------

“Anger is the enemy of non-violence”

The path of non-violence was not that easy

Gandhi Ji told those in a tizzy:

First, they ignore you, then laugh at you

You will win, even when they fight you.

With dirty feet, I will not let anyone

walk through my mind.

Though on a large scale, 

Gandhiji was criticized

Still, the “DO or DIE” phrase
The unperturbed saint applied

India would no longer be under control

British Imperial Govt was soon made to realize.

Finally, we all Indians got independence
It was the magic of  Gandhi's non-violence.

The whole world  stood aghast at the sight

How can one win without any fight!
