#Ghandi vio en el fútbol una herramienta para concientizar al pueblo de la necesidad de combatir de forma pacífica por la igualdad de derechos y por las injusticias del sistema de castas. Image
En Sudáfrica fundó 3 equipos de fútbol (en Durbin, Pretoria y Johannesburgo), en dónde buscó aplicar su pensamiento. A todos les puso el nombre de "Resistentes pasivos".

Named after #MahatmaGandhi, the #MGNREGA, one of the largest #publicworks programme in the world, came about because of inadequate govt schemes that weren't meeting the demand for #rural #employment. ruralindiaonline.org/library/resour… Image
Recognizing there was persistent #unemployment in rural areas – and no #SocialSecurity mechanism for the #poor, the #MGNREGA aims to provide #wage #employment to poor #rural households, strengthen rural #livelihoods, and ensure #socialinclusion. #GandhiAt150
The Act guarantees that state govts will set up schemes to provide no less than 100 days of #employment in one financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual #work.

Joined citizens of Delhi at India Gate where Hon’ble MoS @HardeepSPuri launched various activities under #SwachhataHiSeva being organised to commemorate the 150th Birth Anniversary of #MahatmaGandhi.

I was delighted at the large turnout even in the early hours.

It was wonderful to see young children dressed up as Mahatma Gandhi & several others holding posters & placards with messages for #Swachhata

We also launched a film on Google Toilet Locator. GTL is a useful application particularly for people on the move. It allows them to find the nearest Swachh public toilet. ImageImageImageImage

I argue that Gandhi’s appeasement and ahimsa which asked Hindus to get slaughtered at the hand of Muslims was immoral.

His value lies elsewhere.

I cite @authormanoshi’s book Saffron Swords in this. Resistance was based on force not ahimsa.

I knew Gandhi better than most because he opened his real FANGS to me and I could see the inside of the man. If I DISLIKE him, it is because I LOVE India more. - BR Ambedkar
