00:00Those who are abusing Gandhi are the least interested in Gandhi.
00:05They don't know anything about Gandhi. They have never been bothered about Gandhi.
00:09But they are abusing Gandhi. There is a reason.
00:12They are trying to accomplish something and Gandhi stands in the way.
00:16Therefore, Gandhi has to be abused.
00:18Gandhi stands as a symbol of something that they are hell-bent on destroying.
00:24If you want to create a society that is deeply fractured on communal lines,
00:31then the symbol of communal harmony has to be disparaged.
00:35That's what is happening.
00:36Who is Gandhi? Gandhi is not some person really.
00:41Gandhi is a particular thought.
00:43Even if you want to criticize him, you have to first read him.
00:46He is a philosopher. He was not just randomly walking naked on roads.
00:51There was a philosophy behind his actions.
00:54Have you read the philosophy? No, we don't know.
