Everyone who has watched the movie 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai", will know the meaning of this term. In today's world where everyone has forgotten the values and importance of the paths shown by great leaders like Gandhiji, this movie has done an excellent job in showing people that honesty, patience and non-violence still bring results. There are a lot of things I liked in this movie.
Firstly, the dialogue that you need a lot of courage to ask someone’s forgiveness is perfectly true. Its really very difficult to say sorry to someone. I am talking about saying sorry and meaning it and not the kind of 'sorry bro' you say when you accidentally step over someone's toe. Begging someone who is angry with you and who might ask you to get out the moment he sees you, for forgiveness is one of the most courageous things to do.
And judging someone by the way he behaves with people belonging to the lower strata of the society is an excellent idea. Everyone respects (or at least pretends to respect) those who belong to higher status than him. But not everyone respects those who are below him in status. This reflects the personality of a person. (A bit of self-dabba here, I am calling everyone 'annayya' these days, may be the Telugu movie pokiri-effect)
One more thing is that people ruin their life because of jyothish etc. Believe in astrology or not, but believing it so blindly that you take important decisions in your based on it is ridiculous. Not marrying the gal you love coz the horoscopes don’t match, not talking to your best friend coz you discovered his zodiac is not compatible with yours etc are stupid ideas really.
Finally patience pays. This is something that I believe in. I may not be patient enough to clean the paan or gutka marks myself that my neighbor makes in front of my door. I would most probably request him not to do it, then threaten that I would book a nuisance case on him and even if this doesn’t work, then actually book a case on him. But in many other matters I believe/know that patience pays.
So Gandhi's principles are effective in today's world too. This movie shows a few examples where "Gandhigiri" gets the job done. Why don’t you bring out more examples by practicing it in your daily lives too? So zor se bolo "Gandhigiri Zindabad".
