Questioner: The question is concerning Gandhi Jayanti. Acharya ji, every year in the rest of the world Gandhi Ji is remembered as a great person on his birthday. But if we look at our own country and find a social media post regarding him, then people of our own country are abusing him. I agree that no person can be completely right. But how it is right to prove someone completely wrong, to abuse him instead of learning so much that could have been learned from him. There have only been very few people in the country who are appreciated worldwide but they are always insulted in our own country and I find the same thing happening with you too.
Acharya ji, please tell me why all of this is happening and what we can do about it.
