WHO'S THE REAL MARTYR ?
How wonderful that the day Gandhiji was assassinated by a countryman should be commemorated as Martyr's Day in India officially but the real martyrs at the hands of the British, the revolutionaries who sacrificed their all at the scaffold or died from British bullets or the bayonet, fighting for India's integrated freedom, should be relegated to the obscurity of the chronicled history of the freedom movement !
Who's the real martyr -- one who dies to free the motherland from the bondage of the British or one that dies at the hands of a countryman who seeks violent recourse to end appeasement, albeit erroneously interpreted, as critics would be quick to point out?
