On the eve of independence day, I was looking back and pondering about gone by those of days, when our country became independent and what sort of purporting things had to sacrifice for getting of this independence. Two distinct things made their instant flash in my mind i.e one as to Gandhi and other about Jinnah.Two of them have been tallest international personalities of their time and both of them led the movement spectacularly as per their iconic way. Nevertheless, there has ever wide and polar difference between having personalities of both of them.
As and when looks at Jinnah then there is a halo appears around the personalities of Jinnah of which it is very difficult for common man to understand. Undoubtedly, Jinnah personality was reflecting of a high aristocratic intellectual person who ever lived very westernized. He lived his life on his laid down term and never negotiated with his way of life.He had very broad intellectual but common people did not come under this ambit. One ever perceive of clash of ego, when one looks at Jinnah. Had he been alive today then he would be sad to see the trait and overall facet of our neighbor country. Jinnah never thought to carve of Pakistan in such a way which is appearing today. Jinnah personally was a secular person. In fact, Jinnah was very modern person who did not bring in his life of muslim culture despite of being a muslim.
On the other hand, Gandhi ever belived in simplicity and ever involved himself with common people.He lived and spoke the languaze of common people.Even his sole mantra was to accommodate even of opponent whilst leading movement against British Raj.There is much involvement of the cardinal principle of non – violence which makes him very exceptional and unique. He will be ever remembered with profound aweful gratefulness for this and coming generation across the countries will ever bow of their head. But, one thing strike oftenly in mind that had Gandhi been alive today would he be happy to see the state of affairs of our country.As per me, he would not be happy even a bit because in our country Gandhi is remembered for conducting of national ritual but sadly his laid ideal paramount notion and way of governance have never been followed by those who are in power. But being ever optimistic, I visualize beacon of ray of light even today.
