Have you ever wondered why we have "M G road" in almost every city in our country?
why do we have so many statues and symbols of great personalities?
why do we remember them?
what picture comes to our minds when we say Mahatma Gandhi Road?
When I think of Mahatma Gandhi Marg, the picture that comes to my mind is where Gandhiji is walking on the way with his stick. This MG Marg reminds me of the importance of walking which is good from both fitness and environmental perspective. Walking was a prominent part of Gandhi's life.
When I say Bhagat Singh Square, my soul is immediately filled with courage and confidence. when I say Braj Vihar colony, I imagine a place where everybody is living peacefully. All this happens at a very subconscious level. we don't pay attention to these in our daily lives but these names keep our values alive. It gives us a message to inculcate their attributes in our lives.
This small effort has a big impact on our society. It inspires us to learn something from their lives.
History offers us lessons and some mysteries that may never be revealed.
So instead of discussing past people, let's discuss their ideas, their work, their impacts, and how they did it.
let the mysteries be in their place, grab the learnings, and impart them in our actions.
Because it is ideas that rule the world, not the leaders. Think
-Aashi Gupta
