MAHATMA GANDHI SAID
''Secularism and tolerance are among the central
planks of our democracy. No one has the right to say
that belong to the majority community only and that the
minority community can only remain ther as the
underdog''

Yet,16 days after he penned those words, the
mahatma, unarmed apostle of Non-Violence, was guned
down by Nathuram Godse.
