The father of independent India


"I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life." ~Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday celebrated in India

Widely considered the father of independent India, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 under British rule in India and grew to become one of the most iconic civil rights leaders in the world. After spending his life working for social justice and leading India to independence, Gandhi was assassinated in 1948 at the age of 78 by an Indian nationalist who believed he was too passive. Gandhi’s birthday is now a national holiday in India and celebrated world wide with the International Day of Non-Violence.

Non-violent working well in western society not working for Scamafia under the reign of terror Cpp Hanoi's congchor-Hun sen!....Dictator like yuon's congchor-Hun doesn't obey the rules of laws,doesn't care about human lives nor people suffering due to blindness of greeds [wealth&powers] The only way to get rid of the congchor Hun is play fire with fire!...Non-violent is laughable and make him more stronger.

Congchor Hun scares of NO ONE but Hanoi- yuon his boss! Hun sen willing to goes down like Qadafi or Saddam perhaps Binladin,so protest with non-violent will never WORK with Hun sen a dictator working for Hanoi.Hun sen is a master of chronic liar and Psychopath manipulator and the ruthless killer as well,in 1997 proof that Hun sen is capable and fit the profiles as Psycho-maniac's thug without a doubt.Please democrat people to remove ah chhkae Hun sen we must willing sacrifice by any means necessary,otherwise your hopes or dreams will never become reality...

Right,Kmenhwatt,not even the father of peaceful protesters by the name of Mahatma Gandhi or Marther Luther King can't scare of Ah kwaq ma'kang Hun Sen,because ah kwaq ma'kang Sen will not obey rule of law,he is a law in his puppet kingdom called Nambodia controlled by his boss Yuon Hanoi.Yuon took my ancestral's homeland in central yieknam known as Champa kingdom.Now Cambodia is turning to be like my ancestor's land Champa kingdom in very fast phase!...
