Recently in a local seminar on “Mahatma Gandhi s Philosophy”, I witnessed that there were less takers for Gandhiji. Most of the talkers supported Justice Markandeya Katju, A Roy, and Tamil poet Meenakandha Swami, all are supposedly Gandhi abusers. Of course the name of Marathi poet V D Gurjar, who abused Gandhi, did not figure out as the talkers were unaware of him. In India it is a crime to dishonor National Flag and National Song but not Father of the Nation. This should end and in this regard the Supreme Court order on artistic freedom of expression is a welcome one.
No one should use abusive language against historical icons like Mahatma Gandhi.
