How does anything get any significance? It is due to thoughts, emotions, actions associated with it, right? Otherwise, each day is like every other day. From the first rays of the sunshine to the moon rise, and beyond. The same day, the same routine!
January 30 has been significantly different though. It was on this day in 1933 that Hitler became the German Chancellor, an event which changed the history of the world, though undoubtedly of the inter-war Germany.
Far away in India, the day is darkly significant, too. It was on January 30, that Gandhiji was assassinated. Tragic as the event was, it assumed a trenchant significance in Maharashtra coz in the wake of the tragic event, countless Brahmin families suffered indescribable atrocities.
What then is the significance of not only the martyrdom of Gandhiji, individually but also of a way of life? In a world full of subtle, unseen but efficient falsehoods, getting more and more entrenched due to technology?
