Bapu Gandhi and Baba Gandhi

The name Gandhi may seem very familiar but there is so much to 

distinguish the Bapu from the Baba.

Bapu Gandhi:

·         The pivot in the Independence Movement.

·         The architect of Non-Violence movement.

·         Simple-living and high-thinking.

·         Fast for days to get the demand for the country.

·         Turning the Charkha to make Khadi.

·         No foreign trips for pleasure sake.

·         Sacrifice in terms of sharing, giving and country’s benefit.

·         Simple loins cloth to drape self.

·         And above all no intention of grabbing power and sit as the head.

·         All the moods captured in pictures read the body language as a man without pride.

Baba Gandhi:

·         Dimple faced smile to capture certain mass.

·         A position simply cut out for him with no pain but gain.

·         Holidays on foreign soil for a change.

·         Fasting for the country – a distant dream.

·         Still not carved out a special deed or intention to be tagged with.

·         Modernity in company of friends and show simplicity in public – dubious.

·         Still a learner with no specific goals of his own.

·         What does sacrifice mean? Still has to learn.

·         Not self-made but inherited fame and name.

·         Wait for photo opportunities where the body language tells his show-off nature depicting on his face.
