The world we live in..

Remember, my old rant on Sun TV showing a violent movie to commemorate the birthday of the dude whose name was synonymous with Non-violence?
Things haven't gotten much better.
Saw this via boing-boing..
Luxury items to commemorate the life of an austere person..
Somehow, somewhere, the message is lost... way way lost!
Next thing we know, Tommy Hilfiger will come up with a leather jacket with Gandhi's spectacles as the logo and the NRA will support a new gun which will kill sooner and call it the Mahathmatic ..
It is not that far fetched.

You are assuming that its not there yet. And that could be otherwise too !
With Khadi becoming the fashion statement that the rich sport...
and..
'Mahatma Gandhi road's in the big cities commanding prime rentals and real estate value...
what he stood for has far been eclipsed by his brand value !
Sigh
Yes, I was most disturbed too:(
