#MKGandhi
Good anecdote😀
Sir M Vishveshvariah went to meet Gandhiji. He sat down on the chair offered to him. Gandhiji chuckled. Sir MV asked him why.
Gandhiji replied you are wearing a suit carrying a gold handled cane and have a gold watch in your pocket
so you have to sit on a chair. I'm like the poor in this country who have only one cloth to wear and don't have a chair to sit on
Sir MV replied Mahatma I'm the son of a poor temple priest who could hardly make two ends meet.
I saw the Englishman ride in a carriage drawn by horses with a gold handled stick with all the people looking at him in awe.
I decided that I should do better than him so therefore I toiled hard studied and earned this position.
If all our countrymen think like you in the future we will sit on the floor and others will rule us!
